I saw a documentary on Buffett’s life and he & his wife began living apart (at least partially) because she wanted to use money to help people and he says in the documentary if you do that you can’t get more money, I bring this up because he is probably the best billionaire and still is like that

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves. Samuel Adams

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

This is the problem with big upping these guys - they’re upset with the vulgarity and lawlessness but don’t actually want to usher in a better world. They want us to install a milquetoast conservatism that can never exist. They can’t ever actually admit they’ve been wrong their entire lives.

Even if one excludes trans women from the equation: Not all women have XX chromosomes. Not all women have the same secondary sex characteristics. Not all women can get pregnant. Not all women menstruate, and so on... By no metric the far right claim as 'biology' are all women the same...
