#Elephants with jobs: Life guard

The Dems seem to be going for a resistant to change...get off my lawn vibe...so who better to give us those classic hits from the 80's and 90's but a man who wasn't even remotely cool back then.

Better at what? Not really caring about the middle class. One ignores their suffering and the other actively adds to their suffering so.... I guess being ignored is looking pretty good. We are so screwed.

So Bezos got what he wanted from Trump: the dismantling of federal regulatory infrastructure and the IRS.... now it's time to take out the trash? I'm all for transparency about tariff costs, but the power of these billionaires is staggering.

Far longer than the last decade. The Koch and Murdoch machines have been eroding our democracy from the inside since the 80's. The past decade marks their end game.
