It's weird that Gavin Newsom couldn't find even one black woman in California qualified to be a Senator. Instead he went and got a union busting corporate fund raiser from Maryland.

I swear $80k now is equivalent to $50k ten years ago. They think they can raise all the prices on everything and not pay us more.

There’s been an astonishingly brazen propaganda push to normalize war profiteering in Ukraine as Kyiv coordinates with the arms industry and western governments to convert the war-ravaged nation into a major domestic weapons manufacturer.

The rent keeps going up, the house prices keep going up, and the interest rates keep going up. Groceries, medications, personal care, and cleaning products are way up. These are not recreational expenses. The math is telling me no one is living lavishly on 80K.
You can barely afford housing with 80k. These people are deeply out of touch.

The fastest way to get me to lose interest in your analysis is to start pouring your energy into divisive culture war issues. In a world that’s hurtling toward nuclear annihilation and environmental collapse there’s no possible justification for running around shitting on trans people or whatever.

I had a dream that my house was falling down and I called the Democratic Party.

They showed up immediately with some duct tape and I was initially optimistic until they just cut off a piece and put it over my mouth.

“Oceania is at war with Eurasia. It has always been at war with Eurasia.”
Western minds have become so warped by cold war hysteria these last few years that it never occurred to a single person in an entire giant room full of professional politicians that someone who fought against Russia during World War II might be a bad guy.

Check this article out if you want to understand how Washington's "rules-based international order" means the US gets to treat giant stretches of ocean on the other side of the world as its own personal property and block other countries from sailing military fleets through them.
