It's mostly a true statement, provided that the "boom" is the sound of a massive implosion of both the US and world economy.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.

Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Why did I just see a commercial during a college football game featuring tRump and his campaign promises with the by-line "Paid for by the U.S. Government?" WTF? Our tax dollars??? Oh, hell no. I want a refund.

AI advocates say we have no right to stop innovation in the free market. Hogwash. We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or varieties of cocaine or biological pathogens. We protect the public from certain kinds of innovation. We need guardrails on AI before it’s too late.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

You live somewhere. You care not only about there, but about elsewhere. You care about your home, neighborhood, state, country, region, continent, and world. A violation anywhere pains you. To help overcome violations everywhere attracts you. That is internationalism. It’s exemplary

Perhaps the distinction is that not everyone who knew JE is a pedophile, but if they continued to associate with him after 2008 they do have bad judgment, questionable morals, and priorities (business, political, social) that do not align with the public interest. They are ineligible for leadership.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
