I am not great with mathematics, so I really would not know without someone walking me through, step-by-step, beyond basic arithmetic.

Rereading the original comment to which I replied, I'm not so sure celebrities should earn so much, not because art isn't valuable, but because children shouldn't be forced to it, and left to all sorts of abuse and exploration to support adults. No one should be abused and exploited, really, but especially those without personal agency of their own.

This is a bipartisan issue, thanks to corporations.

A brief history verifies your gut feeling.

I like this very much. I agree and wish more people did.

Understood from reading, but he should have seen something from a distance. Did he forget? Not care? Was looking at something else? Hard agree with no trucks on the beach. An ATV or some sort is sufficient.

  1. Nothing new wrt Trump, so idk why CEOs feign surprise.
  2. Biden policies are, for the most part, tepid, but I'm the current political and media cycle, whatever, I guess.
  3. What exactly qualifies this as "news?”

"just am unfortunate accident." How do you not see people on the beach?

I'm curious how Texas will handle "natural" disaster without proper tax structure and federal funding.

I don't know about those minimums. We already fight needles wars to extract others necessary resources, sell them back to them for maximum profits, while also getting them to overspend on stuff that has no practical value, in order to make things a little less expensive for our working class so billionaire and corporate overlords can maximize profit. The general gist of your idea is valid.

TL;dr the whole world is also us and we would do well to remember that.

I recently read an article describing how when disabled people have too much in their savings accounts or try to pay off outstanding debts, they are ordered to repay years worth of benefits. We can fix this! Peer-reviewed study after per-reviewed study (in theory and practice) has shown it costs less to just do the right things and look after each other (whether we think it's deserved/earned/insert other term here) or not. We can fix it. It's a matter of rolling up our sleeves and consistently apply pressure in proper spaces.

Direct action, mutual aid in the meantime. For everyone.
