As a kid, the teenager on the hill would blast "I Love Rock n Roll" on his boom box.

That was maybe 1985ish.

Today, Joan Jett is heavily featured on my bike commute playlist.

Her Crimson and Clover cover is just awesome.

Happy Zombie Jesus 420 everyone!

We should all take a moment to reflect on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

1) people can become illegal if they wander too far
2) no one should have free health care
3) corporations should not pay taxes
4) guns keep people safe

So you're one of these people that says SOME crimes are fine, but OTHER crimes are not.

Can you outline where your lines are drawn? I'm guessing your "ok crimes" are ones that YOU do and the other crimes that you DON'T do are the ones that we should focus on for punishment.

Is that true?

The Federal government can come up with any amount of dollars. We did it in the 2008-09 crash and again with COVID.

These people suck at literally everything.

We have an incompetent idiot in charge of hiring all the other incompetent idiots.

They are inept at everything.

Part of me is like "this is insane" and another part is like "Owen, you've always said the market is huge problem for wealth inequality, it should be dismantled"

So while I'd love to see billionaires lose hundreds of millions, people heading into retirement are getting screwed.

This was made by a disgruntled "influencer" that wants to thin the herd on their own flights.

Owen @oweniverson.bsky.social · Apr 4

lol fair.

wanted to give the one dealership, if it exists, a little win that they wouldn't have to see their business tanked because Elon is an asshole.
