Did a Costco run yesterday and every single employee was a goddamn delight.

When the rate of return on capital outpaces the growth of output and income, wealth inequality expands. It is up to democracy to rein in the excesses of capitalism, like a jockey on a racehorse.
But what we have now is the racehorse trampling on the jockey caught in the reins.

Almost everything that happens is either a good time or a good story - or both. Have courage.

I try to think
But lyrics pop up:
5th verse:
“Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah”

This would be good with population growth included.
The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Considering a new business that replaces Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) for common lawn treatment (it seeps into the ground) with a special blend of electrolytes to improve the nerve and muscle function and pH balance of most common grasses. If you have any venture capital connections, PM me.

Whenever we look out into the universe, beyond the skies of Earth, we are never seeing the universe the way that it is--only the way that it used to be.
