As a kid, the teenager on the hill would blast "I Love Rock n Roll" on his boom box. That was maybe 1985ish. Today, Joan Jett is heavily featured on my bike commute playlist. Her Crimson and Clover cover is just awesome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXFr...

Happy Zombie Jesus 420 everyone! We should all take a moment to reflect on the teachings of Jesus Christ. 1) people can become illegal if they wander too far 2) no one should have free health care 3) corporations should not pay taxes 4) guns keep people safe

Reading "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams and it makes me despise 1) Meta and 2) our entire socio-economic structure even more than I did. It's like we elevate the sociopaths to the highest, most influential positions we can, and they just ruin everything for everyone but themselves.

America's socio-economic system seems to sift out the worst human personality traits, and then elevate those people to positions of power. Prove me wrong.

@sanders.senate.gov PLEASE make MMT a talking point in your speeches to Americans. So many have been sold the idea that they're being stolen from and that "their tax dollars" are paying for things they don't like. Explain that taxes don't "pay for" federal programs.

@aoc.bsky.social You and Bernie should make MMT a core piece of your speakings to Americans. So much of our problems are rooted in people having been sold that they are being stolen from and that the government uses "their taxes" to pay for things they don't like.
