accidentally clicking on microsoft edge and being given a heavy blast of coworker belief news stories while i scramble for the close button. just three headlines can cause untold damage

If we could do only one thing to right this ship it has to be ending the culture of elite impunity in this country. Once you get past a certain wealth threshold you not only become invulnerable to criminal liability, but you lose the ability to lose in any way at all
