Reading On the Beach a few years ago, what struck me was how the vast majority of people went around on their mundane daily tasks ... even though they knew that they had merely weeks to live.
So here I am, sitting on the couch thinking about what I need to get and do for the lawn this week ...

not to mention a Monday at the BTV Fed'l Bildin'

Back from my third protest in three weeks at three different locations - Chittenden County VT

#ANTIFA

Haven't been a big fan, but respect for Sen Cory Booker today

#TeslaTakedown Seattle in SODO.

pisses me off that some people think I'm "elite" - yep, two grad degrees, comfortably retired because I had a union, but my dad was a cop who died when I was in hs, and my mom worked in a factory; my grandparents were immigrants - luckily SSA was still intact when I commuted to college

No one should be surprised. What's happening is what they said would happen.

q. Why did you write your obituary?

a. Because it's my story, and I should be the one to tell it.

When WASPy people say their first American ancestors were captured by Indians, I say my immigrant grandparents were exploited by capitalists.

BYU-'bama - who cares besides bettors, Mormons and redneck "Christians"?

It's too late for a bourgeois solution. People will have to take to the streets.

Since capitalism is a giant ponzi scheme, working to re-distribute wealth to the already wealthy, it is inherently anti-democratic. Democracy cannot exist among great inequality of wealth.

The term "democratic socialism" is a redundancy. Since actual socialism, public ownership of the means of production, is to better equalize wealth, it is inherently democratic. Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc were NOT socialists.

Elon Musk is a twisted freak.
