I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Growing up in Toronto in the early 70s, as I walked to school every morning, I would daily experience racist slurs shouted at me from random people on the street. It was like a sport to them. I was a child and they were much older teens. We didn't import racism. It's home grown.

the "price of eggs/ groceries" was just another version of the "economic anxiety" argument from 2016. it was largely nonsense then. it's largely nonsense now. "economics" is often a way of submerging a voter's bigotry.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
