There is a deep read in the NYT today on how Epstein exploited greed to amass $Billions. The stock markets are corrupt, rigged shitholes, now being joined by crypto. The tax system is an immoral cheat theatre. It's time for class warfare...but this time not by the Reaganites and Trumpers.

Not only should owning guns be illegal. Manufacturing them should also be illegal.
Our civilization is sick and those of us who have not drunk the Kool-Aid understand how evil it is and will not cooperate with it.
