Today I got to watch a microbiologist, who rose to head the CDC, be questioned by a plumber from Oklahoma who has the kind of first name normally given to a boy that you have to chain to the porch so he leaves the goats alone.
Also by a football coach who lost to fucking Vanderbilt in '08.

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps.

This culture of ultra convenience that we've accepted (anything can be delivered in a day, you can get any book or movie you want immediately) has meant that everything becomes devalued. Including art. While lining billionare's pockets and producing more trash. How do we fix it? Start at home maybe
