Sen. Sanders and Rep. Talib have the right idea; they just need to bump up the additional corporate tax by 10x.
And, this needs to be partnered with laws that say that a company can’t:
1) outsource its labor to another company; or
2) declare its employees “independent contractors”

Doris Miller fought fascism for a country that didn’t yet treat him as a full citizen. Many in the GOP want to claw back the freedom and equality that the US embraced after WWII.

You’re thinking of 45, who at least made pretend that he had ethics.
That was before John Roberts’ court said the president could do whatever he wanted to do.

This morning’s “Can you fry an egg in it?” tastes much better than it looks.
Browned leftover stuffing on the skillet, then cracked eggs onto the stuffing. One yolk survived, so there’s toasted bread, refried onions and mushrooms, and it holds onto heat really well. Little Old Bay and yummy.

Somehow, translating Lovecraft into Japanese manga and back into English prose scrubs out the racism.

Today’s brunch: toad in an onion hole:
Had leftover onion rings, so I stacked two, cracked an egg into each stack, let it cook on the bottom. Flipped the stack, and let the other side cook, then slid the spatula between the rings so I could make sure it was cooked all the way thru.

Anyway, Lincoln saw this for what it was, and did his best to burn it down before he caught a bullet in the neck from a salty slaver apologist.
![In 1858, the year after the Dred Scott decision, rising politician Abraham Lincoln explained to an audience in Chicago what a system that set some people above others meant. Arguments that those deemed “inferior” “are to be treated with as much allowance as they are capable of enjoying; that as much is to be done for them as their condition will allow…are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world,” he said. “[T]hey always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden…. [This] argument…is the same old serpent that says you work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.”
“Turn in whatever way you will—whether it come from the mouth of a King, an excuse for enslaving the people of his country, or from the mouth of men of one race as a reason for enslaving the men of another race, it is all the same old serpent….”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:trh27gcpy2ycrnk5pn2myssb/bafkreibucrx67h7ezte5ysaji44zb2esqq7ih6m4v7bbfxnyy3mlag24ge@jpeg)
