So the rich really are stealing from the poor?

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” 

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

I still play this song. It's my instant mood boost song.

My daughter tries to play pink fluffy unicorns or the nyan cat when she wants to annoy me.

See, if you wanna learn a lot about apples, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD will get you there. Also, lots of horror! So much horror! But apples. Also apples.

I loved this one. So good. =)

I'm having flashbacks to going to the glendale galleria in the late 80s and early 90s. I miss Babbages, the disney store, and orange Julius.

I loved Merida. It's a beautiful area and I felt perfectly safe just walking around.

I'm so sorry =( that sucks.

My blazer comes from ann taylor. I bought it on sale and had it tailored.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how having money and/or status has solved many executive functioning problems throughout history.

But if you're poor, executive functioning problems show bad character.

It keeps being recommended and I keep saying no thanks.

I'm a succubus. Which I actually was for Halloween once.

Child poverty more than doubled in U.S. after expanded tax credits, stimulus checks ended

How is this not the biggest scandal in America? How can an op-ed writer pen another missive about the terror of cancel culture and just not give a shit about this?
