Saw Caption America Brave New World and loved it. Afterwards I thought about it- even as bad and wrong as Ross is as president, he's still more sane ( and relatable) than the current occupant. As bad as things were in the movie, I think it's worse right now fr.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.
