Wealthy people are a drain on society who steal billions while contributing nothing, while poor people do all the work that makes society function and consume very little
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!
This is so disgusting.

If the FBS wasn't full of cowards scared of a big playoff, Duke would have punched its ticket to the CFP tonight.

I've never been a huge live music person, but it's been years since I've been to one without the kids and this girl playing at the Forge in Ben Wheeler is pretty entertaining.
My wife is loving all the songs from when she was growing up.

This 2028 possibility is Trump’s favorite Democrat
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decision to work with the White House stands in stark contrast to potential 2028 rivals such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

I was like 12 years old and I knew who Trump was and that he was cheating on his wife Ivana with Marla Maples. Why in the world was American culture in such a state that I, a pre-teen, would know about the love life of a scummy New York real estate developer?
A grim reminder he has been a benighted presence in American public life for so long a guy who died in 1998 had a firm opinion about him.
