Sent another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund.
I encourage others to think and act more in support of our non-human cousins too! The extreme suffering we're imposing on them in the billions is not something we talk about often, but it continues to be one of the larger blights on humanity.
And I'm getting optimistic that this century we can finally end it. Farming practices are improving, synthetic alternatives are improving.
Also, in my recent experience, good old low-tech vegetarian and vegan food has improved massively worldwide over the last ten years; I encourage anyone who has tried it long before and given up to take second look; there are far more healthier and tastier options today than the "pasta and salad" you would often get ten years ago.
@RealRickRule@TomSteyer I don’t know the tax code as you do but thinking specifically about Trump paying no taxes 10 out of 15 years per nytimes report. Something needs to be done imo. Plus, 50 years ago top execs made 35 times a starting salary now 500 times plus. How do we get a healthier society?
@RealRickRule@TomSteyer I’m for that too, Rick, and I’m also for a tax code where billionaires (whom I’m not against, fyi) can’t get away with paying nothing in federal taxes.
@RealRickRule@TomSteyer He’s focusing on the issue and recognizing that the tax system needs to change when some billionaires avoid taxes altogether and when a carbon tax is necessary in order for our World to go carbon negative. Well done, Tom!!
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.
@Frank_Giustra Very well written and clear, Frank. I also appreciate your mentioning the climate crisis at the top - most in finance seem to ignore it when it’s arguably the mother of all issues this century.
Peter Thiel literally wrote that freedom and democracy are not 'compatible' and that regulating Big Tech is the work of the 'anti-Christ'. Stop treating this as metaphor. When billionaires tell you they want to end democracy, take them seriously.
@qthomp This all makes sense to me, Quinn, thank you. I bought some $WEAT before the war and think this next week I may buy more on a pull back. Curious if you think that’s the best etf or do you have another you prefer for wheat?
