“Joy” obtained in part by denying the fact there’s a dangerous airborne virus on the loose—that everyone’s ignoring—isn’t true or lasting peace. However any contentment you can scrap together after doing the hard work of acknowledging this troubling fact is well-earned & deserved.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.

We remind them that health isn’t permanent. That Covid isn’t over. And that they should start caring again.
The good news is it’s not too late. Stop blaming the “vulnerable” and start demanding better from governments & public health. Mask back up. Refuse to toss anyone to the wayside. /end

Covid is arguably the biggest cover-up of the 21st century—and it’s being perpetrated right in front of everyone’s eyes. There are now thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies warning of its dangers, and articles on it are a simple Google search away.
