We humans have really screwed ourselves. And it all started with the automobile, which led to mass production lots of jobs, highways & endless suburbs full of homes for all those factory workers.
Then we decided to outsource all the factory jobs to other countries. Later, we outsourced the computer industry (that required a lot more education than the manufacturing ind.).
We are left with a lot of home no one can afford, and a lot of people who cant afford to live anywhere.

Why the world cannot afford the rich.

Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear โ€” people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.

Some people on the left have been criticized (and often with reason) for trying to control the way people think by controlling their vocabulary. But this criticism has been so one-sided that many people assume that this kind of effort is a "woke" thing.

But it's not. People on the right do exactly the same thing, and perhaps even more obsessively. It's just not covered as intensively.

Here's a bunch of Rs getting twisted over the word 'free.'

The aid bills are great.

Yet the one piece that will most piss off Putin is...

The House passed a foreign aid package on Saturday as well as what's called the REPO Act that will allow the Biden administration to confiscate billions of dollarsโ€™ worth of Russian assets sitting in U.S. banks and transfer them to Ukraine for reconstruction.

Kremlin broadcasters are quite elated that Taylor Greene, is echoing Kremlim propaganda that the Ukraine government is full of nazis and with her attempt to block the military funding to Ukraine. The Russian media has considered her as a big joke in the past. Pres. Zelensky is a Jew and Taylor Greene ignores that. She is at best ignorant and uninformed and succeeds in revealing her anti-American stance. She should be removed from Congress.

More than 3/4 of the new investments in green energy and semiconductors from the Inflation Reduction Act โ€” and most of the jobs created โ€” are situated in GOP-controlled congressional districts.
Curious you don't hear Republicans complaining about that.

When Trump dies, there will be a worldwide celebration. People will be dancing in the streets. It might go on for a week. His funeral will have to be private, otherwise people will line up to spit on him.

House Democrats Have All The Power And Control Mike Johnson's Fate

I usually appreciate winter for the lack of bugs, but this was a tough one. Now the warm weather is back and so are the bugs. (not the larger flying ones but the tiny ones small enough to get through the screen. I can't catch a break.) With the warm weather comes hair falling out, which feels like bugs (the constant sensation of touching).

My all time line.
