Vulture Capitalism Comes for Democracy
The playbook Trump and Musk are following to dismantle government resembles the one used to pick apart America’s newspapers.
"They haven’t found a single dollar of fraud. And the waste and abuse they’ve been clamoring about has turned out just to be government agencies, programs, and spending that Trump, Musk, and Republicans simply don’t like."

A man wearing a bunny-ear headband poses with his daughter, who is wearing a cat-ear headband. They are wearing matching, green shirts.
When a princess comes up to you and asks if you want to be a cat or a bunny rabbit, you put on the damn ears and roll with it.

It's 2025. There is no longer space on this planet for kings.
Not by birth.
Not by politic.
Not by divine right.
Not by extravagant wealth.
Get rid of them.
All of them.

Don't let those who decry DEI get a pass. Ask them which thing in particular they have a problem with, diversity, equity, or inclusion, and why.
The use of acronyms removes the gravitas. Say it in full, and make the racists own their shit.
And remember: it's always okay to punch a nazi.

That's just how Austin is, especially the neighborhoods between Ceasar Chavez, MLK, 35, and the toll road. Quirky and hella overpriced.

My wife's friend, a combat veteran, was killed by a wrong way driver that was fleeing police on a freeway in Dallas. If you can spare a little, please help send his family out.

A toddler with colorful, smeared makeup on her face.
My baby asked for makeup this holiday season.
Today she decided to make her eyebrows a bit fancy.
Her words: "Isn't my eyebrows beautiful?"

Any book with instructions on the appropriate way to sell one's daughter is abhorrent and unfit for moral guidance.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. There are many errors in the Bible. Some examples:
1. Pi =/= 3 (1 Kings 7:23)
2. Bats aren't birds. (Lev. 11:19)
3. The formation of life is not a mystery (Ecc 11:5)
4. Firmaments do not exist. (Gen 1:7)
There is far too much to list here.

Does Trump think Greenland is half the size of the US because he looked at a Mercator Map?

I was today years old when I toasted my own oats for the first time (trying to make an unsweetened cereal).
Why didn't I do this sooner?
Served with fresh blueberries. It's epic.

I wish they were content to ignore in return.
I ignored the Christians once, and I got dragged through court for it because they thought the devil had control of my family and they were trying to save us from hell.
It was pretty horrible.

Insurance software manages profitability. I'm only talking about venue and judicial assignments.
I appreciate your politeness. It's been a pleasure speaking with you.
I've somewhat reached the point that this thread no longer piques my interest.
Thanks for the convo, though.

I've already explained it several times, responding to various people.
The problem you're experiencing now is me not caring enough to continue diving into an inconsequential conversation. lol

Yes, I have.
Software that applies a set of standards that ensure fairness is vastly superior to a lottery, imo.

I'm a systems engineer who discovered too late that they absolutely hate working for others, and decided to use my skills in a variety of ways, including creating logistics systems for several small businesses, and many personal projects.
I found the skills to be fairly universally applicable.

No, people keep assuming things which I haven't said.
Expecting others to take me literally and without inference is not terrible communication.

I'm well aware of how cases are assigned.
I've explained how venue determination and case assignments can be determined with software, not with a roll of the dice, so to speak, and you'd think from the way some are responding that I'm calling for an AI government. lol
