I like learning and critical thinking; astronomy and paleoanthropology. Australopithecus seems like a cool guy.

Harris: Under Trump’s leadership, prices are up, unemployment is up, inflation is up.. He said—I have to count the pluses—A+++++. That’s how he rated the economy. There is nothing A+ about any of this.

Maybe, just maybe, some Republican elected officials around the country are getting tired of being threatened by a nearly 80 year old corrupt mob boss with a 36% approval rating who is increasingly unhinged and might actually start to grow spines. One can always hope.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

This hit me like a gut punch, because I lost a good friend to glioblastoma. I wish Jason Collins a speedy & full recovery, knowing that Stage 4 Glioblastoma has always been terminal.
Hoping for a cure.
