The Earth was fully stocked: water to drink, soil to grow food, forests to shelter us, a sun that rises every day, a moon that moves water, and oceans that regulate the climate. Then, men invented war, debt and capitalism.

"If the Democratic Party becomes HIM, you have no chance ... on a national basis in terms of the presidency, in Senate seats, seats in the House — you have NO chance."
"You might have a Democratic Socialist sprinkled here and there — but that ain't what America is! America is about capitalism! America is about dollars and cents! America is about an economy, a flourishing economy!"
"And you know what it's not about!? Free stuff. Somebody gotta say it, so I'm gon' say it!"
Nah bro, fuck this shit.
This housing bill is one of the most ACTUALLY effective (non performative) pieces of legislation that will directly affect real cost-of-living for the majority of Americans in a LONG time.
Fuck. This. Shit.
Hasan Piker on what tonight means: “If you’re an establishment Dem, who’s sat on your throne for three decades and haven’t done anything for working people, we’re coming for you.”
I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.
"You want that Animal Style?"
I paused.
I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.
"...Animal Style."
"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"
I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.
"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."
Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"
I stopped. Even the potatoes?
"The potatoes also become animals?"
"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."
"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."
"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"
I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"
"It's, like, how many patties you want."
"How many is the most honorable?"
"...Four is a lot."
"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."
She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.
It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.
I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.
For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.
They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.
So tell me, America.
The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?
And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?
“How do you feel about Trump?”
KNICKS FAN: “I f*cking hate him… This shit right here? The revolution starts in NYC. Brunson is the Messiah— if we bring this energy to the pedophiles that run 🌎, we can do anything.”
@nyknicks@NY_KnicksPR really going to the White House?😬
@jackson_ge51896@KobeissiLetter You are literally retarded. The ruling is if he’s able to fire federal reserve governors, not JP Pritzker or other State governors you dumb dumb dumb fuck.
did you know the retirement age in the US used to be fifty years old? 50. You'd work for a company for 30 years, get a pension and retire with plenty of time left to enjoy life. Now they expect you to work to 70+. Literally until you fucking die.
