1. PMing me is almost certainly a bad idea. 2. I'm here to signal-boost, primarily. 3. If you wanna argue with me, I probably won't, as I have stuff I should be doing, but I'll happily block you, so I don't have to worry about it later, either.
I've seen several versions of this, but water is the simplest, cheapest, most efficient version I think we'll have for a while. Be your own millstream.

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.
That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.
Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

We all desperately want to follow the argument rules we learned in the before time, but if y'all could stop acknowledging that they were drug dealers (because...maybe they weren't) before making your oh-so-reasonable arguments, I'd appreciate it. The Overton window is a thing and you aren't helping.
The family of the Colombian fisherman who was killed in the Sept. 15 US military strike in the Caribbean Sea filed a formal complaint Tuesday with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights alleging the US government illegally killed him.

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer.

Republicans had a very bad day yesterday:
-Trump fell asleep during his cabinet meeting.
-Republicans continue to lose critical cases in court.
-They vastly underperformed in a Tennessee congressional special election.
They are panicking and will become much worse. Pay attention.

Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking US health official to spread the claim that psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond.
There is no scientific evidence to support that theory—and extensive research indicates it is untrue.
