American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.

Nothing trickles down to workers.

Bondi and the rest of them are living in a pipe dream. They will fudge more stats to give the appearance of reduced crime.

Bondi: “we have the National Zoo.”

Me: we also have a political circus.

This is a Draconian, Dystopian, Orwellian nightmare. I’ve been feeling pessimistic lately, and having trouble shaking it off.

Did you get a Latte at Tatte?

I’ve never watched that. Which streaming service is it on?

I bought the Apple audiobook of “On Tyranny” expanded edition “UPDATED WITH TWENTY NEW LESSONS FROM RUSSIA'S
WAR ON UKRAINE.” I listened once last year. Maybe a second time will give me new encouragement. 🤷‍♂️

@boldnewme.bsky.social I saw this post and thought, “this sounds like someone I should be following.” Then I checked and saw we already are following each other. 👍🏼😁 🇺🇦

I bet there won’t be any tRump-Putin meeting notes.

I had no idea there’s a conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and that’s what the meeting was about. The TVs can only be heard with headphones. I avoid even looking at the TVs in case that A$SH0LE is on. I listen to music or audiobooks.

Agree, Shari. tRump keeps saying he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. He and his sycophants have been saying he’s a “President of Peace.”

I was in a health club yesterday. The circled part in attached pic was on a TV screen. I laughed at a caption about a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Orange Orangutan Asshole often ends with ‪“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”‬ That sounds dumber than stupid.

So cool! Long ago I had a 1970 VW Squareback that needed body work. I got it done and painted, and brand new hubcaps. I was living on a USAF base in NJ. Within a week, someone stole the hubcaps. Next I got hubcaps from a junk yard and dented them with a rubber mallet!

On top of that, Congress members get rich from contributions (bribes) by lobbyists and corporations.

Shari, Is there a particular news event that prompted you to write this? I haven’t been keeping up. I went to do bowling practice drills today.

I had to lookup Zelig. 🤣

You’re too much. I had to smile because you’ve really gotten around and met a lot of ppl. I’m impressed. You’re a No-BS guy. 😁

It’s bedtime and now I’m hungry.

Reagan is one of the “Evil Geniuses” that Kurt Andersen wrote about in his book by that name. I loved the audiobook.

Cool experience.

And it’s in Utah - the home of polygamous Mormons and child marriage.

But she was raped. She didn’t consent.

I know. My response was during a short period of levity.

I know you’re right, but let’s try to look on the bright side of life.
