Literally just talked about this fact with my mama yesterday because none of her uncles or her father got theirs for their service.
Another excellent history on the racial wealth gap. Rights on paper, NOT in practice.

No one. The 70's, the first decade (and perhaps the only decade) of true artist expression and experimentation was too stacked in every genre.
If you could put one modern artist in the 1970s, who would completely dominate that era?

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I hope people understand that we're far past just setting shit 47 has knocked over back upright. This will be rebuilding: NEW legislation, new institutional knowledge, new case law even. This will take decades. Not 4 years, not 8.
Once he IS GONE, it will take a while but we will have a semblance of normalcy again. Kind of like what happened after he left the 1st time. But this time hopefully things will be put in place so we do not Ever go through this nightmare again.

Not everything thrown at you is meant to be caught. Your peace is not their playground. Treat it as sacred. You don't have to engage in arguments you're invited to. There's power in saying nothing when they want you loud. They want a reaction, not resolution. That's the trap. 1/2
