"Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me"
Sonny Rhodes- The Ballad of Serenity

Democracy Dies In Silence!
Crypto's reliance on energy will cause it to burst eventually. Without sustainable energy other than trees available, those data mines will shut down, and no more crypto once people have had enough of high heating costs and power interruptions.

Hungry? Sick? Desperate for work?

That's exactly where they want most citizens!
The perfect workforce to plunder!
And the perfect bubble that will burst in most unfortunate ways.

If you want to know what kind of economic society MAGA leadership wants to build, take a dive into Medieval history and serfdom. The potential to repeat that should frighten anyone.
The why behind the US opportunity is upward mobility- which they are taking away.
Welcome to the new serfdom!

Why has no one talked about this egregiously large "bonuses" is taking $$$ from the stockholders as well as the workers who performed the work so these CEOs have work to do?
No one is worth that much in bonuses.

Remember the Vietnam War protests where they gave the policing forces flowers and put them in the gun barrels?
Probably be assault now if they did that.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

What's up with Trump's fixation on nuclear war?
This isn't his childhood when people were terrified of it.
We've lived with that spectre for decades.
The 'n' word, as he puts it, just doesn't hold the terror of giant ants and mutant cannibalistic humans that it once did.

Again with the troops?
But of course, "silence is golden."

Think the Kimmel Debacle is just about some political satire?
The midterms are coming- what better way to influence the races than LIMITING what the anti-Trump candidates can say to criticize the opponents?

Democracy is founded on Free Speech.

Free Speech is the enemy of authoritarianism.

There's a ghost tonight;
In the sky from coast to coast;
Quiet, remember.

One hundred and two
twenty eight hundred and more
Nine eleven- Remember!

Rain falls out of eyes
Each drop in cold loneliness
we remember.

I finally understand. The architects of MAGA have watched The Last Ship. Even the character of Shaw is reflected in the administration down to attitude and physical resemblance.

During economic uncertainty, private donations go down; and with US cuts to humanitarian aid, global support is affected.
Still, children are malnourished, starving. Children are facing lives without any sense of security.
Every little bit helps.

If I had press credentials, I'd be tempted to ask a certain head of state for the US reaction to the threats issued from Grand Fenwick--- Or perhaps if the US were involved in the peace talks between Freedonia and Sylvania.
I would love to hear the answers.

There’s a Flag for That: Robert A. Heinlein Birthday on July 7 (1907). Heinlein is the author of 30+ books with quirky futurist themes. The flag hoisted here is the one he discusses in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" bearing the acronym for his motto, “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.”
