This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

You see what’s really fucked up is I chose the max withholding of my taxes so I get a good refund every year. I can’t not pay my taxes out of protest of Elon, they already have more than I owe. Gotta file and hope for the best but fuck I am not optimistic

You know what would be great is if these weird assholes could get to know exactly one trans person and see that they're just people trying to get by like everyone else

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.

The problem with money
says the old man at the bar
is that too much you’ll spoil
too little you’ll starve
if you’re poor and you’re thirsty, you will one day be free
if you’re rich and still hungry, you will always be
-Adam Krier of Am Taxi, song called Bored and Raised
Seems relevant these days
