We know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank 50 years ago today, in part because of the Gordon Lightfoot song. Let's also remember the Thresher, a nuclear powered navy sub that sank & imploded off of Cape Cod in 1963, killing 129 aboard. Memorialized by Phil Ochs:

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I talked to a friend in Evanston, a suburb of Chicago, who is part of the resistance. Her first-hand stories about ICE are horrific.They are absolutely terrorizing Chicagoans where cruelty is the point. People have been beaten, tear gassed, thrown to the ground and arrested. Violence is growing.

The idiocy of the poor Trump voter never fails to astonish me.

Quickie narcissism test:
When conversing with one other person, do you regularly talk considerably more than 1/2 the time? With three people, considerably more than 1/3 of the time? Etc. Try to step back and watch yourself. And if you're doing it, stop. Narcissism is becoming a corrosive epidemic.

Even if you have a degree. If your kid is pursuing a masters, I would still urge him/her to learn a trade or two. For one thing, they will save you a huge amount of money if they buy a house. For another thing, AI is unlikely to take their job.

No other modern country lets hundreds of thousands of people go bankrupt every year solely from medical debt. It's despicable--and it's about to get much worse because of this criminal president and his revolting party.
