This country doesn’t lack abundance. This country has a problem because a 0.1% of the population has hoarded wealth at historic levels that destabilizes everything and has done so with the assistance of the political class.

“….you will be prosecuted.”
But they weren’t prosecuted. Prosecuted would be having a day in court. Prosecuted would require the government to prove gang membership. Prosecuted would mean the chance to mount a defense.

The Florida Legislature in a nutshell:
A committee in the Florida Senate is debating a bill to roll back child labor laws at the exact same time as a committee in the Florida House debates a bill to let employers pay less than minimum wage to some workers.

House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

They think that there are so many left-leaning people in America because of Marxist professors and the like indoctrinating us. They seem to have forgotten that they have crashed the economy now four times in just my lifetime with their greed and avarice. That’s enough to be anti-capitalist.

One thing about Trump promoting Tesla: it's a reminder that no one can simply drive a Tesla. Owning a Tesla is endorsing Trump, Musk, their politics, their horrible fans, the entirety of it. As good citizens we are obliged to remind current & potential Tesla owners the association is inescapable.

Listen to how Trump describes Putin, who launched the bloodiest war in Europe since WW2:
“I've always had a good relationship with Putin. And you know, he wants to end the war…And I think he's going to be more generous than he has to be and that's pretty good. That means a lot of good things.”
