That’s my spending this weekend.

That’s my spending for the holiday.

I give you my attention, my presence of mind, my service. I do not buy tchotchkes to toss aside to perpetuate failed capitalism.

Your gift to me, can only be you. I am happy to reciprocate.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

No, I 100% agree that computer RPGs these days have too much handholding.

In Australia, “no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women aged <25 years in 2021 – the first time that this has occurred in data going back to 1982. This remarkable achievement is almost certainly due to the impact of HPV vaccination”

These are calf hutches – tiny pens where young calves are housed after being taken from their mothers, a common practice in the dairy industry. 💔

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship.

It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.
