It’s not the governments role to make people rich. The role of the government is to make people’s lives better, thru enabling easy equitable access to healthcare, education, housing, justice, utilities, services etc. Never gonna happen with this idiot and his coalition of chaos in charge

The idea of the world’s richest man destroying programs to help sick and needy children is just so perverse and disgusting, it’s hard to fathom that we allow it. This man needs to be investigated.

ANZAC Day always feels like a reminder that neither fucking side in war knows what they're doing, the people in charge tend to be stupid as fuck, and the end result is thousands of deaths but never of the people responsible for those deaths happening.

The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.

Institutional medicine's widespread culture of dishonesty has been one of the most shocking takeaways from the pandemic. I knew there was a problem with bullying and authoritarianism, but the sheer scale and normalization of manipulation of science is breathtaking. #medsky #scisky #polisky

Trump cannot exist without a culture that breeds narcissism, racism, individualism and greed. He is a reflection of the USA, not an outlier. The fact he hasn’t been overthrown and people are genuinely waiting for the revolutionary guard that is the (Corporate) Democrats to save them… 🤦🏾‍♀️

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

There is no sense in which a chatbot can "help" with your schoolwork by making it easier; if it is easier, it is less useful for actual learning (effortful practice is HOW WE LEARN) and therefore the chatbot has not helped, but has only hindered.
