Artist, dog and cat lover, avid reader. Also rapscallion, ne'erdowell, and questionable morals. No idea how all of this works.

That is pretty dumb. You could just look at my posts to see if it seemed likely I would be tossing around code words for jews. I was being accused of doing that rather than the perfectly sensible notion that the ultra rich own the fucking media now and that is why we can't have nice things.

Mark, while I appreciate that we have different opinions on some things, your recent take on health care is confusing to me. Individuals don't fight for federal law. They organize and contribute to organizations that do. Are you advocating for single payer?

Lol. I just looked at your profile. I do not know whether these people are Jewish but I find all religious pomposity distasteful. Jews can fuck themselves equally with the other abrahamic religions. Just say no to religion. It's poison. People are not born with religion they are born into it.

Um. Say what? WaPo is owned by Bezos? The Ochs-Sulzberger family owns the NYT? Musk owns Twitter? Alden Global Capital own Chicago Tribune? Murdoch owns WSJ? I have no idea what your agenda here is but my point was that media is largely controlled by the ultra rich so no surprise.

Is this a self published book? Anyway, my uninvited advice is to let typos go and just read them as the words were intended. Spelling rules are a quite recent invention and violating them is occasionally a sacred duty. Those looking for clews can search for alternate spellings in dictionaries.

They do it with insider trading. They have to and at some level it isn't even wrong. There's a lot wrong with the system. A lot. But really, I guess we all are just pretending we still have a system like we used to.

For that to be a reminder, I would have needed to have heard it before. Also, it generally suggests I believed it when I heard it before. Just sayin.

Hard disagree. Being in power gives them insider trading knowledge. Restricting their right to invest is a way bigger deal than paying them way less than a standard corporate vp salary
