Father, husband, know-it-all, concerned about climate change, supporting Ukraine, sickened by the blatant genocide in Gaza, encouraging people to be nicer to each other, worried about inequality and large companies exerting an undue influence over society.

The thing is that if workers were paid more, the GDP would rise, the demands on the social safety net would fall, and the demand for Starbucks' products would increase.
Capitalism is the best argument for a livable wage.

Brilliant video! Well worth watching, and not just because it's very funny.
You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires?
This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.
Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.
They’re for everyone.

Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

Apparently rich assholes paid to snipe at Sarajevo civilians for fun during the war.
Imagine it...
A fun outing with friends, shooting a civilian or two and then grab some beers.
This was not one or two crazy people.
There was an industry of murder around this.

Horrific to read these first-hand accounts of blatant murder and war crimes.
How can it be that nobody is being prosecuted for what is clearly murder? There is clearly enough evidence to prove it!
Why does the west continue to support this regime?

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
