Just contributed $500 to CT Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . Seemingly the only US Congressperson with both a nutsack and a lucid voice. Schumer is incoherent, the rest of Trump's "opposition" are totally gutless.

What if instead of a minimum wage, we had a sliding payroll tax paid by employers: for every dollar they pay employees under $20/hr, their tax goes up. So corporate socialists can't pass the burden on to all of us. Bc in a real free market, no one works for companies that don't pay enough to live.

Isn't it evident at this point that God hates Trump?

So we're gonna 1) Alienate our trading partners and force them to build supply chains that exclude us, 2) Implement a costly project to kick out our cheapest labor source, 3) Pay off the US industries this damages by inflating govt. debt. 4) Get a 2nd credit downgrade via fiscal chaos. Death spiral?

Trump looks tired and checked out. Elon looks overamped on power and drugs. I have a Randy Newman lyric bouncing around in my head: And you know what he said to me? I'll tell you what he said to me He said, "Rand, I'm tired. How would you like to be the Boss for a while?"

Societal violence is a terrible thing, because according to the law of unintended consequences, it will inevitably hurt or kill those who didn't deserve it. But I often wonder if civil rights would have happened if Martin Luther King hadn't had Malcolm X standing behind him whispering "...or else."

I beg to differ, Josh Shapiro. He is a hero and not just in "dark corners of the internet." In our neo-feudal system with zero hope for change by traditional means because government is 100% owned by corporate oligarchy and megawealth, scaring the shit out of our feudal lords is all we really have.

Do we still need representational government? We could easily build the technology infrastructure now for citizens to vote directly on laws and expenditures.

Rode in an Uber Tesla in NYC yesterday, such an incredible POS vehicle in every way I can't believe anyone buys them. Rattly, cheap interior. The ride was a vomit comet - either accelerating or braking at all times. First thought the driver was left foot braking, but no, it's the fuckin car design!

It seems like kind of a no brainer when one is reading substacks and "news" articles to go fact check at least one statement, to see if your source is a just big fucking liar making shit up. The echo chambers we live in have to go.

If a person is denied rights to control their own identity and their own physical body, isn't the whole concept of "private property" kind a joke?

#2 Bills before Congress can only be about one thing. No more 3000 page bills with pork and horse trading hidden in them. Make these f**ckers actually do the people's business out in the open.

2 Constitutional Amendments could fix this whole thing. #1 Amendment clarifying that civil rights apply to living, breathing humans only, they do not accrue to groups. Corps, unions, PACs do not have rights per the Constitution. They aren't people, they are legal constructs.
