Medicare for everyone would mean elite stockholders and CEOs would lose their skimming-off-the-top first grab at every medical dollar spent in this society.

Multi-millions in salary EVERY YEAR for their "work" in the "industry"? C'mon...

AI's energy requirements threaten life on the planet, as well as society's creativity and our perception of fact v. fiction.

A trillionaire owns as much as 1,000 billionaires own, ADDED TOGETHER.

EACH ONE of those billionaires owns as much as 1,000 millionaires ALL TOGETHER own.

To save a million, just save up $1,000 a THOUSAND TIMES.

If a CEO’s salary amounts to many, many millions, that salary REPEATS EVERY YEAR.

The raining of destruction, fire, and death by Hitler’s Luftwaffe:

THE LONDON BLITZ

Our nazis-above-us decided to call the Chicago portion of their violations of human rights program:

THE MIDWAY BLITZ

Does that indicate anything about hearts and minds...hmmm?

Heather Honey, 1/6 coup attempt conspirator, now the trump appointee to oversee election infrastructure.

Constitution has states doing elections, but this Master Honkey says we need an overseer for that, β€œlike never before”.

Insurance "industry" is an oxymoron, as industry literally means work. Insurance is a paper-shuffling, extortionate, protection racket feeding on human misfortune.

Journalism has moved to sites like Bluesky and Substack because corporate mergers / acquisitions have perverted the press in favor of the Perversion Party. Unregulated capitalism, "the wisdom of the marketplace" has been their objective since Reagan, and today's ruling class of liars is the result.

Exactly. National elections, from my 80-year perspective should be approached ON DEFENSE.

LESSER EVIL should be / have been the primary consideration.

Corporate ownership/management of media has given us the massive propaganda machine Goebbels would have envied.

Mergers / acquisitions v. antitrust will always win when laws aren't enforced and class prejudice means white collar crime is a no risk venture.

We need another name for the decision, given their name for it was cynical propaganda.

Including labor unions in the decision, imo, was a sop to fool us. They had already weakened unions; so, no contest.

ICE PERVERSION OF USA:

Call it TERRORISM, just like marginalized people, esp. Black Americans, have suffered at the hands of racist criminal mob-goons throughout the American history they want to erase, and that is why.

Famed singer/songwriterJoan Baez filed tax returns every year and deposited her substantial tax payments plus late fees into an escrow account, agreeing to remit funds contingent upon the end of the illegal and atrocious Viet Nam "Conflict".

GOP justice(s)

'Conservatives' today conserve nothing, laying WASTE to everything, every pose of caring about the people FRAUDulent, and the sadistic ABUSE they have unleashed on all humanity is nauseating beyond any other sickness.

'Animals' are every one more noble creatures. Integrity matters.

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.
