Hey #screenwriter! Stumped on creating a logline for your script? Just follow my formula:
WHO are we watching?
WHEN do we join them?
WHAT are we watching them do?
WHY are we watching them do it?
When THIS HAPPENS, Protagonist must FACE STRUGGLE in order to REACH GOAL.
Easy peasy!

Some of y’all “vote blue no matter what” types have forgotten that the relationship between the Dems and their voters is always and has always been conditional and confrontational. We’ve had to drag these dimwits by their ears to do the right thing for literal actual decades at this point.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

In 1850, the California government banned the controlled burning that Indigenous people had been doing for centuries. The practice controlled the forest density, scaled down undergrowth, and promoted fire-resistant species. It reduced the severity, mileage, and overall number of forest fires. 1/5

FYI: Billionaire LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong paid NO federal income tax for 5 consecutive years.
In 2021, @propublica.org found that Soon-Shiong had accumulated enough deductions that he could likely avoid paying a tax bill for additional years:

Potter's love of money, constant state of hostility, utter lack of empathy, and enjoyment of others' suffering feels directly applicable to our current crew of obscenely wealthy overlord wannabes. He's the Bad Guy in the movie, but a despotic icon to the billionaire class.

If we reallocated the subsidies today doing the most harm to our public lands, into projects that promote wildlife and safer roadways, like wildlife overpasses and wildlife safe fencing, we'd save countless lives and roughly 8 billion a year in wildlife vehicle collisions.
