I don't really think that's it, I think this time people are directly seeing how the economy isn't working

This isn't comforting as it should be because Republicans in Texas have been racist against Latinos for a while and Latinos have kept voting for it.

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

Them even putting this out there is a form of voter suppression. If you think your mail in ballot may simply be thrown away, are you really going to take that chance? So now you have to go out and vote, which if your state doesn’t have early voting, or has long lines, maybe you can’t make the time.

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

It's also clear, however, that Furnari, despite no one having commissioned him to make the statue, was hoping to make money. He said he had expected unnamed wealthy figures to donate to him - he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labor - but that has not come to pass.
In desperation, Furnari set up an online fundraising campaign, hoping to raise an initial $150,000, but potentially millions of dollars, which he said would allow him to take the statue on tour.
As of Thursday, he had raised $1,400.
"I was thinking that it was going to resonate with the world, with whoever, but man, people are strange out there," he said. "Meaning like, nobody is really coming up with support, especially financial support. So far I've spent all my money on this."“Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk — I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”

Furnari’s latest plan is to place the statue in Times Square on 10 September — the anniversary of Kirk’s death. He hopes that will drum up interest, and maybe allow him to recoup some of his costs. 

Until then, Furnari is left with a 6ft 4in statue of a renowned racist, which he has spent $100,000 making, and which no one wants to buy. Maybe it is cursed after all.

Something we really have to grapple with: the Biden administration and Democratic congress worked pretty hard to drive real investment into rural communities, and many of them responded by spitting in the Democrats' face. This isn't an insurmountable problem, but it can't be papered over either

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.
