What is valuable is judgment, not knowledge or money, and judgement is incredibly hard to evaluate.

The irony is that increased accessibility almost always has positive knock on effects for others who identify as able persons. A little consideration of anyone not like me using a good or service immediately yields benefits for all. We need to stop thinking of accessibility as a cost
In other news, the whole thing about Calibri v. TNR isn't about a font face, it's about the fact that Calibri is easier for people with some disabilities to read.
They think any accommodation, however painless, should stop.

this is what happens when you want to be a leader but don't understand words
none of these people (inclusive of UK labour) seem to understand that voters want their leaders to *lead* them, not reflect their own ill thought preferences back at them

I fervently believe that we need people in major positions of power that have had normal person experiences, and the rich are not that.
There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

The architects of torture and the perpetuators must be held accountable.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

We know this isn’t true because if the EU was Nazi-like, Musk wouldn’t be fighting it. He’d be saluting it.
The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.
It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.
