What’s happening with the US government reminds me of this story (great book btw): Libertarians took over a town in NH in 2004 and gutted its services, cut taxes, etc. Less than 8 yrs later things had gotten so bad that black bears were breaking into homes and killing people for the first time ever.

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

If you don't understand the powers and procedures available to the party in minority by which they can stymie the agenda of the party in majority, please don't come to me making it my problem. Like, your basic failure to learn from very recent history is neither my fault nor my responsibility.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

The effect of all the worst, biggest sex pest fuckups on earth claiming autism as an excuse for their dipshittery, will be increased eugenics. Each time one of these dipshits announces autism as a justification, they cement the public perception of autism as dangerous, antisocial, predatory, etc

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash
