Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Musk and Trump got rid of one fifth of workers at the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides care to 9/11 first responders and survivors. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro... Those fired include people like Anthony Gardner, pictured below, whose brother was killed on 9/11. Disgusting beyond belief.
