Vader. We know from the sacred textes that there was some good in him. Trump shows no evidence of that.

Get used to disappointment. 😁

I think I’d want to work for the kind of person for whom ot is a good look.

Thanks for giving me a huge amount of satisfaction bu proxy.

Wonderful?

I do not think that word means what you seem to think it means.

Stay safe. 💛

Toys R Us? Dead. Your local newspaper? Dead. That nursing home your grandma lives in? Understaffed and underwater. Your vet, dentist, and urgent care? All owned by a faceless fund that’s never touched a patient. The playbook is always the same: buy it, load it with debt, slash costs, collect fees, and bail. Repeat until the entire industry is a husk. Retail, healthcare, housing, media, restaurants, prisons, foster care, nothing is off limits. If it can be financialized, it will be. Anyway, private equity executives are doing great.

And we definitely shouldn’t regulate it because that would totally be communism and we can’t have that. /s

Not a good time for it, but there’s never a good time.

You’re spot on. They’re very much the arsonist fire-fighters in this story.

This could only have worked if she’d been blasting out concrete plans to help the middle class since she lost. She hasn’t and won’t.

I wish the Democrats would take a hint. They’re not going to save us.

With Scylla we lose just a few. I think they’re hoping to push us straight towards Charybdis so they can sink the whole thing and start over, rebuilding in their christo-fascist image.

Maybe time for a different system?

Is the simplest solution here not just to leave the ecosystem entirely?

I had a Kindle type device a long time ago and I decided to get rid of it in favor of something that is much more flexible and can actually handle whatever kind of book I want to put on it.

Cool Reader.

Works on win, *nix, and Android. Probably also Mac, maybe ios

Forum of unfinished projects… Sounds like my basement.

Seriously though, I love this idea!

Foster local community or become involved on your community’s organizations.

Naah, just switched languages.

You missed it by only a short period of time. Memory management was just starting to get easier. I love your writing though. I’m glad to have it.
