Greed is the most damaging human trait. It is the root cause of all our problems as a species: Organised Religion, Fascism, War, Capitalism, Billionaires (I realise that all these things co-exist in a grey area)

If I were to conduct a poll, it would reveal that ~50% of you stay seated to wipe after pooping, and ~50% stand up to wipe. Now, about 90% of you had no idea that the other class of people existed and are frankly disgusted and angry at them. (No, I’m not telling you)

When Dems take the House (and, hopefully, the Senate) next month, I'd pay good money to watch an 8-hour grilling of Trump like Hillary et al. had to undergo. Can you imagine?? 🍿

#F1 fans: "AI has caused all the problems with these cars". Do they not remember F1 from the last 50 years where most cars had mechanical breakdowns? Why doesn't that happen any more? Oh yeah, computers made manufacturing better.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)
