As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

Wealth inequality has worsened. Today, the top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity. This is not sustainable! The time has come for unions to rise again, for new worker-owned businesses to be established, and for cooperatives to embody democracy in our economy! ☃️

www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...
Distribution of Household Wealth in the U.S by Income Group. The share of wealth owned by the top 0.1% is currently at its peak. The share of wealth owned by the bottom 50% hit its low point of 0.4% in 2011. The top 10% owns twice as much wealth as the bottom 90%. The top 0.1% owns five times more wealth than the bottom 50%. The graphic shows that inequality has been worsening substantially since the 1990s. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wealth-distribution-in-america/ Co-ops in a nutshell: Democratically-owned: People who use the co-op are the people who own it. It is owned equally by each person (member). Democratically-controlled: Members have equal say over the co-op's operations. Democratically-benefiting: Equitably provides benefits to the co-op's members & their communities. Worker Co-op Impact by the Numbers: People of color make up 56.8% of worker-owners, and people identifying as female make up 62.5% of the workforce at worker co-ops. Worker-owned co-ops are two-thirds more likely to succeed than the average U.S. company. Worker-owned co-ops enjoy 5% higher productivity levels than traditional businesses. Worker co-ops employ happier workers with a higher level of job satisfaction than traditional companies. Worker co-ops maintain a 2:1 pay ratio compared to the average ceo-to-worker pay ratio of 303:1. Annual employee turnover for worker co-ops is 15% compared with industry norms of 40-60%. https://ncbaclusa.coop/resources/abcs-of-cooperative-impact/abcs-of-worker-co-op-impact/

Surprised that GWB didn’t get that much of a bump from 9/11. At the time there seemed to be a huge groundswell of support. Then again he squandered it quickly by invading Iraq.

The less popular he is, the less powerful he'll be, and the more individuals and institutions will feel empowered to stand up to him. He still can, and will, do a ton of damage, but "establish permanent authoritarianism" looks more and more remote, though not impossible.

Important datapoint in terms of how people understand Trump's second term. He's actually hit and will soon surpass the level of unpopularity he had in his first time. See this from G Elliott Morris's site. Many still have this idea he's more popular, has more robust support. www.gelliottmorris.com

Gee, I can’t see how OpenAI could possibly have a problem with that…. </snark>
You're interacting with **GPT-4**, the latest version of OpenAI's language model as of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023. However, the exact version or interface you're using depends on the platform/service through which you're accessing this model (e.g., ChatGPT, API, or a third-party application). To confirm: - If you're using the free version of **ChatGPT**, it may default to GPT-3.5. - If you're a **ChatGPT Plus** subscriber, you likely have access to GPT-4 (look for a model selector dropdown). - For API users, the version depends on the endpoint specified (e.g., `gpt-4` vs. `gpt-3.5-turbo`). Check your platform's interface for labels like "GPT-4" or settings to verify. Let me know if you need further clarification!

What kind of rich, out of touch asshole fires somebody on his birthday? Also ensuring that his family loses their insurance in 3 days at the end of the month?
