Remember when the rule of law applied the same to everyone in America, whether you were President of the United States or an undocumented immigrant? Now it doesn't seem to apply to either.

This is the education plank of the plot to enslave America: secular private academies for the rich, religious instruction for the middle class, and a prison-like rump of public schools for the poor. With our Constitution in tatters, they're racing to implement it

The thing is that China doesn’t need the US or Apple in order to make and sell ‘iPhones’ as I am sure we are about to discover. US tech hegemony depended on consumers having fuzzy feelings about the US.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

"Happy puppy has thousands of playable demos, not to mention reviews, previews, and cheats - perfectly suited for your average samurai." (Source.)
Up top, a two page comic. A samurai in plaid looks at his CRT, showing he has fired a rocket in a Quake-like FPS killing his foe, and says: "[HP] takagawa: GG". His foe in the next panel grey floral looks at his CRT, showing he has been exploded, and types: "[HP] hero-hito: FT! you have so dishonored me." Down below, the text reads: "Concentrate. Channel. Frag. Chill out. Happy puppy has thousands of playable demos, not to mention reviews, previews, and cheats--perfectly suited for your average samurai. (Other people like Happy Puppy too.) In the bottom right, the logo of Happy Puppy - indeed, a happy puppy, with red eyes, a smug grin, floppy ear, and a patch over one eye - is surrounded by the url happypuppy.com and the slogan, "it's all games". Far bottom right, the URL games.theglobe.com appears.

yeah the issue with M4A is not that single payer isn’t a superior system (it is), it’s that the underlying issues with American healthcare still require mostly supply side fixes and the rationing that occurs at the insurance level is downstream of that
