Sounds about right!
A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.

Yes Elon can have the opportunity to do stuff, but a lot of that has been reversed.
By voting on the CR, you are supporting their budget cuts, their slush fund, and betraying the American people who want to put a stop to their madness

What i find fascinating is that this administration is willing to run everything into the ground: killing the economy and eliminating our international soft power, which are kinda necessary if they wanted to maximize profit and be corrupt gangsters... right? @jamellebouie.net

i was just complaining about this to a friend a few days ago. the punditry is obsessed with this retreat to discourse, where there is an inability to examine the actual phenomenon itself. instead, they engage in language games or treat politics as a question of definitions
seeing a lot of too-cool-for-it takes pointing out that the US has backed awful dictators before. it's certainly true that this country has blood on its hands, but this is another example of pundits treating trump like a literary foil instead of an actual president who is doing bad things.
