A 50 year mortgage means no average person would own their homes ever. It turns homes into direct rentals from the bank even more than they already are.

CVS is best thought of as a kind of interactive museum exhibit where you can experience everything that has gone badly wrong with American capitalism.

For those unaware, influencer Naomi Wu has basically been radio silent for two years because the Chinese police threatened her to silence her criticisms. There's a lot of evidence Elon was involved.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
