I've been thinking about it for a while now, but when we finally push the reset button on our government, one core tenet is going to need to be: absolutely no money in the justice system (and govt as a whole).
Wealth should not be able to affect the effectiveness and outcome of one's legal defense.

Man, this guy really has his finger on the pulse of real Americans, like the Baileys.

Definitely not just some milquetoast nonsense that's both out of touch and not even remotely helpful to actually address the fact we have murderous goons prowling the streets.

No way. This guy knows what's up.

It should be pointed out that the bottom 50% of Americans are only worth a little more than $4 trillion as it is.
The other half is worth roughly $150 trillion.

But yeah, let's bleed more out of the workers...

A drawing of a sprite-like plant creature with orange leaves on its head and bark-like skin. It stands mostly in shadow between two trees.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

This is also assuming they weren't fucking pedophiles. But hopefully that goes without saying.

I'd probably be slightly less upset with billionaires if they weren't the most uncreative, boring dipshits.
Like, at least be eccentric with it. Bury money in various spots and write some enigmatic poem hints to find it. It's the absolute least they could do.
Create some labyrinths for fuck's sake!

A custom Magic card called "Census Scribe." It depicts an elderly dwarf with very long hair that reaches down his back to the ground. He has a stooped posture and has a large bag on his back that is open at the top. Several large rolled up paper scrolls are poking out of it. He's wielding a shield and sword, but the Shield is a paper clipboard, and his sword is a huge pencil with a crossguard.

I wanted to show this card because I'm pretty proud of pretty much everything about it.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

An illustration of a boy in a cloak crouched on a large rock. The boy has an angry expression and is looking back over his shoulder toward the viewer. The boy has a robotic tail sticking out from under the back of the cloak. The background is light blue with whirling brush-stroke clouds.

A drawing of a minotaur, facing to the left. A ball of thread is in the top left corner and the thread leads around the image, in front of and behind the minotaur. Behind the minotaur is a geometric pattern that resembles a maze. The image is slightly colored with orange, brown, and purple.

Had fun drawing this Minotaur for the weekly drawing challenge.
I feel bad for the minotaur though. Sure, he eats people every once in a while, but he's not really given a lot of options...

One of my primary vocal stims long before I was ever aware of 'vocal stims' was whispering 'penitent, penitent, penitent man' over and over from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Just got home from a trip to Hong Kong and I related to this sooooo much.

ANA also genuinely made a huge difference on the flights back, had waaaay more room than the United Airlines flights there. The lack of space and shape of the seats on most US-based airlines is torture.
