Violence runs on ignorance, fear & misinformation fomenting hatred. It is always about power, petty, political, sexual, economic. Education in empathy, trust, respect & desire to approach truth & seek justice is the response. Universita Aldo Moro, Bari, IT

Exactly the kind of person we need in the Senate. Look at Florida Sen. Rick Scott a thief, a liar, with big money, he's in Self Service. Wonder why things are like thay are. Now look at Nixon a woman who projects Public Service creds. Look at her opponent Ashley Moody just a Trump rubber stamp.

Scientific or technological development pursued for the purpose of creating property, to be manufactured into commodities/products for profit will at best marginally serve communities, but immensely serve its owners. To think this is natural law is to deny the interrelated nature of communities.

Takeovers of strategic industry in time of war and national crisis is entirely consonant with US history. -Railroads in 1917 -Telegraph and Telephone 1918 -Coal mines in WWII -Aircraft industry WWII -Medical supply chains Covid Stop the fossil fuel profit bonanza take over US domestic production.

Maybe Don "Diapers"Coglione should eliminate the profit bonanza and take over the US petroleum industry. US production costs that haven't changed since the beginning of the Iran war. Allowing for fair profit margins (production, transport, retail) and taxes the price of diesel would be <$3. per gal

Instead of $$$trillions in defense spending why aren't we figuring out how to end the use of 100m barrels of petroleum per day, and the wars the generate. We must begin to ask ourselves and our rulers what the most abused word of the 21st century "security," should mean? Clue: not more weapons.
