It means that many of us hope you’re keeping a secret and secure diary so we know the inside story. Unlike all that tea that ended up in that harbor all those years ago and everyone kept quiet about it

Broadly speaking, if the social security tax was an equal percentage for income no matter how it was acquired, and healthcare was covered in an equal percentage to said income, what would actually change for the ultra rich and what would change for the rest?

3/3 ...He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance...

2/3 ...The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world...

5/5 confined to the slave-holding, or the non-slave- holding States. Alike, they spring up among the pleasure hunting masters of Southern slaves, and the order loving citizens of the land of steady habits. Whatever, then, their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.”

4/5 Accounts of outrages committed by mobs, form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country, from New England to Louisiana;--they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former, nor the burning suns of the latter; they are not the creature of climate- neither are they

3/5 judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny.

2/5 through all time, or die by suicide.

2/3 tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked;

While I agree that teens should be able to earn money and volunteer in libraries and such, this is a very slippery slope. I could not have afforded college if I hadn’t been able to work and save money throughout high school, but this is a very ill-timed push for who-knows-what in the current chaos.

As though job safety should be done away with?! Isn’t this why we unionized over 100 years ago? And before that we abolished child labor. Are we going back there next? *sigh*

2/2 "Once considered a proxy for content’s ability to be “valuable” or “worthwhile,” attention itself has become the commodity we’re after: looks, likes, clicks, play next episode. Unfortunately, one of the easiest ways to engage people is to enrage them." 30Jan25 Slate
