Democrats are not "playing 4D chess," not making a point, not following the will of their constituents, and there is no plan. This isn't some masterful strategy of "raising awareness" of Republican cruelties to win midterms. Does it look like they've had a strategy since Obama? Everything's on fire

Random shit that will ruin your life out of the blue, it's hard to top electronic toll booth fees. You drive somewhere trash like Detroit, get a bill for $25 in the mail that you don't notice with 30 other pieces of trash mail... And the next thing you know your license is fucking suspended

Something awful is happening to American medium speed food; it's all dying. If you want McDonald's, Wendy's or some other cat food they've got you covered.. but if you were hoping for some decent not chain takeout you're going to be looking for a while.

Police have always treated Black people the way you’re witnessing I.C.E. terrorize Brown people.
We tried to tell you!
We called to defund and ultimately abolish U.S. military policing.
You called us Marxist extremists and ✨insisted✨ police keep us safe.
Now, they are coming for you and yours.

If your business model involves actively fucking with customers, which includes students, to try to extract more money out of them, please don't bother hiring me. We'd be wasting a lot of both of our time.

Gold being consistently over $4,000 in ounces everything you need to know about the current economy and the US dollar
It was seriously $600 an ounce less than 20 years ago. So you could buy a gold coin with 600 bucks, and now it takes 6x that. That's how much the dollar has tanked in your lifetime.

No they have not. Carbon emissions have accelerated literally faster than ever. If your argument is "well, they're accelerating less quickly than they could have," it's beyond hypothetical.

Democrats will not be happy until they've empowered this rogue, lawless administration to the point he is putting them in jail.
They wasted time, money and limited attention, and produced theater of 8 rogue senators when it's obvious they were following orders. No wonder they can't win elections.
