"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is kinda like "Don't Be Evil" as a slogan. It's a bit worrying when you choose it, but it's a lot more worrying when you take it down

So now it is going to be tariffs and tech companies proclaiming all EU regulation to be unfair? All part of the craziness we're going to have to navigate with a President whose strongest belief is that he's a genius and a variety of lackeys who agree on that but not much else.

this is so true that it stopped me in my tracks for a moment gen x and older have wealth, houses and pensions, whereas countless millennials and gen z might never have any of those things maybe that's why we care about wealth inequality and they care about immigration
