It's funny seeing my niece in Girl Scouts, my mom wouldn't let me or my sister join because of the Girl Scout Murders, which is understandable since we were born and raised in Oklahoma. We were thrilled when Lexi wanted to take part because now we get to live our Girl Scout dreams vicariously.

I appreciate that and understand the struggle of going off the sugars. I'm currently adapting to a new diet thanks to new food allergies and digestive issues and it's tough. The hardest thing for me is giving up corn cuz I'm Choctaw and we're a corn people lol

10000000000000000%. There's no ethical way to even begin to gain that much money. Something is rotten to allow them to do that.

He's got a point when you take into account that the power and wealth is hoarded and never distributed fairly among those whose labor makes it possible.

Agreed. My partner and I were talking about this and he was like "You know, most people think folks with money and power are corrupted by it, but I think folks who seek power or hoard wealth are already corrupted and the money and power only exacerbate that corruption"
The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them.
Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.
