Dutton loves destruction. By wrecking the public service he could justify privatising it for the double purpose of a short term cash boost (to be embezzled by his mates), and long term gain (for his mates).
It’s a win win. (For his mates).

It’s a pretty messed up love triangle, Seth. Trump wants money, Musk wants gratification, Putin wants raw power. All three men are empty of true joy, and they’ll destroy the world trying to fill that hole.

Trump and Vance are the hideous visage of an ugly America, bullying, crass, selfish, and petty.
There was only one man in that room who can be called a leader, and he wasn’t an American.

We share that.

Sometimes good deeds take years to get results, but they’re worth more than instant gratification.

I know you sometimes cop flack, Jane, and it’s draining to fight the good fight. So, it’s important to let you know you have an impact.

Oh no, no need to be sorry. I’m thankful.
I think that despite my progressive leanings i was still a thoroughly entitled p.o.s.
Men are better (imo) when we’ve got strong women to remind us we aren’t owed their time or talent. It needs to be earned.
Yes, I’ve persevered. :)
Cheers

In 2018 i wrote a novel and in my arrogance asked you to read it. You (rightfully) said i’d need to pay you. I was furious, had a hissy fit (alone) then thought about it. You were right. Your refusal helped me put aside some entitlement. So, i wanted to thank you. I’m a better person because of it.

Something about leopards and faces? I don’t know.
