“Strong floor no ceiling” is an abdication to big money interests, and flies in the face of the reality that unrestrained wealth is a universal ill because it is essentially unrestrained power, which has literally never ended well.
This is a representative who is a tool of that money.

I realize there’s a tendency towards confirmation bias in this, but I honestly don’t see the regular appearance of Democratic Party politicians as pedophiles and sexual abusers.

An increase in the population of POC doesn’t mean a decrease in the population of whites - they’re just a smaller piece of a rapidly growing pie.
Of course, this is one of the reasons musk is breeding without restraint.

You’re right, we weren’t. And he certainly hasn’t called out illegal orders in public.
But I used ran away consciously as I wonder exactly what swearing to support & defend the constitution means if it doesn’t include, particularly for such a senior commander, publicly calling out illegal orders.

I don’t disagree with the major premise of this post, but also don’t agree with any implied association between universal healthcare and “welfare”. That term implies that filling the need is based upon a lack of personal resources rather than being a basic right.
