The super rich are extremely greedy and drunk with power. We have to abolish billionaires. We can't be subject to the whims of random assholes.

I want a government filled with EMPLOYEES that understand the various issues that different types of Americans face. I DO NOT WANT a Congress filled with millionaires who are NOT SUBJECT to what we go through.

New research shows that similar dramatic insect declines are also occurring in Colorado.

Kilobyte: a cup of rice
Megabyte: 8 bags of rice
Gigabyte: 3 container lorries
Terabyte: 2 container ships
Petabyte: covers Manhattan
Exabyte: covers the UK (3 times)
Zettabyte: fills the Pacific Ocean

> You see, if somebody robs a store, it's a crime and the state is all set and ready to nab the criminal. But if somebody steals from the commons and from the future, it's seen as an entrepreneurial activity and the state cheers and gives them tax concessions rather than arresting them. We badly need an expanded concept of justice and fairness that takes mortgaging the future into account.

During the pandemic we had tele-health, UBI via stimulus checks, employers supporting work from home and practically eliminated the flu because people wore masks in crowded places.

We really touched greatness and gave it all away to return to the status quo.

With my advancing age, I like to keep my mind active by plotting revenge

It sucks that this guy was killed, but his death was completely preventable, and a consequence of his arrogance and hubris. The people of North Sentinel Island are completely isolated from the rest of the world, by choice. They've never been exposed to the diseases of the world, and they don't tolerate visitors to their land. This guy put the entire tribe at risk of death, just so he could proselytize and impose his religion on them. His death was an act of self-defense.
