It's past midnight and I love coffee but not the anxiety.

What an odd thing to say

Really though, it means this is the admins move for political reasons.

That's SO much dumber than oil imperialism.

It seems like they weren't expecting this and are not prepared. Which makes sense I guess. Venezula's oil is hard mode.

Worst world order.

Or, we sleepwalk into the dumbest world possible, directed by the weak-minded and characterless progeny of America's Conservative Elite.

I mean the government clearly needs to be removed by any means necessary. Any.

But we'll still have conservatives. Their fucking worldview will continue to drag our country (planet) into tribalism, factionalism, insecurity, and weakness unless their political power is shattered to pieces.

So he took another step because he feels he's protected, now. And if he's protected for murdering a woman in cold blood with 100s of witness and multiple angles of video evidence...

Then these other goons will too.

We're rebuilding (like many people) but...

I don't think I'll ever stop missing home.

But today... It's a cool rainy winters day. And if you drive up to Altadena now, you'll see the early sprigs of regrowth.

Not just from the dirt but the people who are there.

It was a disaster triggered by utility company carelessness. My parents lost their home, my neighbors lost their lives.

The American Elite everyone.

No class, no character.

He found his people (elitist conservatives) and never looked back.

Also, stupid. Like he's a dumbass. You can't say something like that and be an academic, or someone who's actually trying to live with wisdom.

He believes it, and proximity to power worked for him, so I GET the confidence... but he's incorrect.
