Yeah, but if we made rich people pay their share of the tax burden, that would be “socialism” or something.

Why is his kid in Jamaica? Are there no care facilities in Kentucky?

Maybe the billionaires are finally figuring out that having the Dynamite Monkey for president is bad for business.

“Let’s deface a memorial, dedicated to a young girl who was murdered by Nazis. NOW, people will have to listen to what I have to say!”

Socialism

A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.

Guys like Miller can’t understand the idea of self-sacrifice if there’s no money or personal gain to be had, later. He’s frustrated because he can’t figure out the “angle” and it’s no more complicated than for the good of the nation. And that’s a completely alien idea to him.

Why is anyone still on, “The Social Media Platform Formerly Known As Twitter” ?

Move demonstrates Musk’s growing influence in Washington

It demonstrates the growing influence of EVERY billionaire in Washington DC ever since the courts accepted the “corporations are people / money is speech” arguments.

When that happened, the government stopped representing the needs of ordinary people and only represented the needs of billionaires and their lobbyists. It’s taking a long time to play out, but it’s going to end badly.

Remember this the next time Forbes publishes some feel-good article about how “household income is keeping up with inflation.”

A few decades ago, only a single wage earner was needed to keep up with inflation. Now the “household income” includes everyone in it except the family dog. So financially, you might be keeping up, but the quality of life for everyone in the household is going down.

You ARE required to identify yourself. Beyond that, you don’t have to answer any questions.

Sadly, News media has been consolidating for the last 50 years. In the 1980s, every tv/radio station was ultimately owned by one of about 40 companies. Today, they’re all owned by SIX.

It is now owned by six billionaires and their families. And if those six people decide that something isn’t going to be talked about, then it won’t be talked about.

A strong, cogent argument can be made for having a wide variety of game developers. I don’t see ANYONE saying, “we need more companies like EA, Activision or UbiSoft.”

Don’t rely on corporations to protect your privacy. Ever. Use freeware and open-source software to protect it yourself.

That’s not what I mean. There’s a good chance the cops planted knives in the victim’s car to justify their use of deadly force. They already lied about basic stuff that happened during the traffic stop, so it would be foolish to take their word about any evidence they “found.”

There’s also no mention whether the victim’s fingerprints were on the two knives that the cops “found” in his vehicle. I going to bet there are NO fingerprints on either knife.
