The function of a system is what it does. Education is child containment to permit adult labor. Law is a suggestion when the extant power wants to break it. Healthcare sacrifices the poor to the god of blood-money. Cops exist to harass and murder the lower classes. Politics exist to legitimize all

The right thing is not always legal, but you have levers of power to pull in your day to day. Make the right choice.

Senator Cantwell: “We need to stop stealing money out of college [and] university institutions for education, for tuition, for professors, and putting it into an arms race on sports,” she said Monday. WTF IS A UNIVERSITY FOR IF NOT EDUCATION?!

Whether the UK rejoins the EU or not, Scotland and Wales should be independent and join the EU on their own terms. England has proven it will happily be led by the nose into perdition by whatever grifter the throne doesn't denounce. I was against the '14 referendum and immediately proven wrong.

No human being is trash to be thrown away. There must be a path to redemption for all. Some paths will be LONG, but there must be a way to reenter good graces.

US law doesn't provide for an attorney in civil law cases. Immigration is officially a matter of civil, not criminal, law, in large part to make it easier to deport folks. This includes children.

Helping my mom choose next year's Medicare. Hooray for life-prolonging drugs that cost $14,000/month! Oh but it's fine, you only have an 80% copay unless you choose this other plan with a 20% copay and a higher premium! Yay, we have "access" and "choice" in how living bankrupts us!

I swear, you could get single-payer healthcare passed by running an ad campaign on the right YouTube and cable channels. Americans aren't just propagandized; we celebrate and rely on our propaganda to tell us what's acceptable.

The great majority of white Americans today would hesitate to end slavery if it were still a public and established institution. "But how will we make food affordable? Who will keep the cotton industry alive? How can I sell office furniture if I have to pay wages?" We know this because prisons.

Hot take: I don't think the pardon power should be limited. Mercy should always be freely granted by those in power. If there is suspicion of corruption, then, let pardons specify the charges being pardoned, and investigators can take another tack or get evidence of further wrongdoing.

June 2026 median house price: $440,600 At 6.875%, a 20 year fixed mortgage would cost about $3500/mo. Lenders use 28% of gross for affordability. That'd require $150,000/yr. gross income. At 40 hrs./wk, that's $72.12/hr. So as of today, the minimum wage argument goes no lower than $73/hr.

An AI engineer with round glasses says "we figured out that in order to get the A.I. to make more human-like art, it needs to draw from a set of personal emotional experiences..." He holds up a tablet displaying a program entitled "C-PTSD-GPT" and says "so we gave an A.I. the memory of having divorced parents." He gives it to an engineer with square glases who sees that it has generated art of a sitting childlike figure flanked by two arguing, monstrous dinosaur-like skulls. He comments "Wooooah... this is DARK." Round glasses replies "you think that's good? Wait until you see the one we molested!"

Every year I go to the graveyard to visit my dead relatives and decorate their graves. And every year I see so many baby and kid tombstones, and so few in my lifetime. Diptheria, pertussis, measles, and coughs that there was no doctor or money for a doctor to treat.
