this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

I log in to Aetna Negotiator Bot by OpenAI. It immediately tells me $7246/mo. Panicked, but in control of my own negotiation, I take a common tactic—I pause. Moments later it tells me $8732/mo. I close the window, but not before it set me up with a direct deposit that is 118% of my net paycheck.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

I’ve seen someone else post before about “becoming a single issue voter, and the issue is vengeance.” I think we’ll need some other things, but if you’re a future candidate, a plan for what to do with the bodies tells me your head is in the right place.
I have absolute raging hatred for these people, like nothing else in my 50+ years. If we get out of this, I don't just want justice, I want vengeance and a reckoning like the world has never seen.
I want retaliation so severe, no one will ever consider doing something like this for centuries.
