Don’t know what you’re getting paid but year after year, voters of all persuasions reject Kamala Harris. The VP stint did nothing for her because sadly, she is less intelligent than smooth operator Biden. Hell. She might be less intelligent than OUCH Sarah Palin.

This is the end of western liberalism. You can't support an openly declared final solution and continue trading on the same old lines about human rights, equality and justice. Gaza has driven a stake through the dank, rotten heart of liberal ideology. My latest open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

Wealth tax is needed in the worst way, which is why we can’t vote our way out. When Covid showed that even Clown Trump could run a halfway effective response, the billionaire class ensured that the Ds would team up with the Rs to never let it happen again. We don’t demand better we won’t get it.

Yes, and Obama took ICE from a relatively small agency and expanded it. So did Trump. So did Biden. GBush invaded Iraq with ruinous results. But look at Obama Biden and Trumps wars. The war machine and war spend is not unique to a party. Prioritizing wars robs us all of a functioning government.

I am sure you are right but this may be the last generation where you see that many. Many of us did have pensions but companies moved away from them as I said. Also the well to do Boomers are some fraction of the whole, not sure what percent. You don’t see the 65s who had to return to work.

Also. Creating a lot of low pay service jobs while slashing funds for say cancer research, which was done, is not creating a resilient economy. If you can’t see how the rich are sucking everything and everyone dry you are hiding your head in the proverbial sand.

Pensions are a defined benefit which is why companies forced people into 401 retirement accounts which is not a pension. The account managers make decisions and skim fees off the top. Instead of letting your money earn compound interest you are at their whim and can lose or gain.
