Some better apology suggestions (besides just implementing DEI again)

*start selling “say no to fascism” merch front and center
*pressure legislators to impeach the president
*pressure Congress to take back control of tariffs (although this one is also in your own best interests)

I realize I’m probably late to this party but I just finished “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler and looked up “Parable of the Talents” and it is fucking creepy this was written in 1998…

America yelling about a trade deficit with other countries while unemployment *was* historically low and our wealth is the highest in the world is like the rich kid at the table yelling that he didn’t get ice cream with his cake while other children are sitting there with empty plates.

We are in fact losing investment because what company wants to place additional assets in a place where they can be held hostage by a single tweet.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Everybody saying “it’s alright, I have Google” remember they removed “don’t be evil” from their company mission.

Also usually when one company does this, others follow.

So, has anyone written a novel about a resistance led by park rangers?

For some reason, I’m currently subsisting on dystopian fiction and non-fiction (current novel is about a WWII spy so I suppose you could call that “dystopian non-fiction”).
