There has never been a clearer signal that America is not a country, it's just a business. And that there are no red lines when there is enough money on the line.
End-stage capitalism knows no bounds in its pursuit and sycophantic courting of power and wealth.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.”

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Makes sense. Americans have been consuming superhero, vigilante savior media our entire lives. Consciously or unconsciously, people are looking for a "good" strongman to come in and save them from the current bad strongman.
Everyone seems to be waiting on saviors, messiahs.
This is not a strategy.

Supreme Court will decide if insurance companies must cover PrEP for HIV prevention, cancer screenings
The case stems from a Texas company that argued covering PrEP violated its religious freedoms, claiming the medication encourages “homosexual behavior.”
