This is a good, funny sign. But it gets at a key element of what Social Security does. Middle aged people who aren't fully supporting aging parents can fund their kids education. It runs through the whole life cycle.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.
This a fire sale for the oligarchy.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.
Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

We seem now to be isolated on the world stage, with an improved relationship only with Russia in exchange for demolished relationships with all our main allies. Has there ever been a time in human history when a national leader has undermined so many alliances so quickly?

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny.
But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
