This is the fundamental right upon which all other American rights and freedoms are founded: equality before the law. Losing that returns us to a system of aristocrats above the law and commoners bound by it.

This is unfair to 17th century Dutch tulip maniacs. At least they made some profit before the bubble burst.

The Green Dragons U10 squad played their best game of the season so far 🐉 ⚽️ We finished 0-3 against league favorites the Tigers. Nevertheless we had a solid defense, some close shots on goal, and much better team ball. Passing, communicating, encouraging each other! Color this coach pleased.

Two old ladies are eating at a diner.
The first says, “The food here is terrible.”
And the second says, “Yes! And the portions are so small.”

As a kid I wondered and worried about why people could be allowed to go unfed and unhoused and insecure in the midst of unparalleled, incomparable affluence. That remains the driving question of my research. And the answer remains largely the same. Capitalism in its many guises.
