Other than flawed tax policy, is there a reason billionaires exist?
before you know it he’ll be getting the shorts out of my butt.  They grow up so fast.🥲
Mr. Toot N. Poop?
So nice to see Americas tech titans meeting yesterday with DC politicians regarding the dire, awful, really bad possible collapse of civilization due to of artificial intelligence.
When do you suppose Americas fossil fuel titans will be in Washington to discuss the dire, awful, really bad possible collapse of civilization due to fossil fuels?🤔

The scary part is that I know many (smart) people who "just aren't into politics" and therefore don't keep up with current events in any detail.
Their blurry understanding includes two things: (1) "the Democrats" impeached Trump, and now (2) "the Republicans" want to impeach Biden.
If someone's not really paying attention, and doesn't actually realize the titanic difference between these two cases, it is very easy to lazily conclude false equivalence. And that could spell doom for the US.
Gun Control state executive order struck down (New Mexico)
@darnell @freemo @SpinozasHeresy
another gun lobby myth. Crime has been declining in the United States for decades.
Statistically,  after YOU being the most likely person to shoot you, the next likely person to shoot you is an acquaintance, family member, or spouse.
defend your family? Seems like the only defense a gun is likely to provide is the one that defends you against people you know.
maybe we shouldn’t think of the bill of rights as a statement of fact, but rather (hate to use corporate speak) a mission statement? 
Who won the Civil War? America’s plantation owners are alive and well.
Gun Control state executive order struck down (New Mexico)
“They have voiced concerns about the ability to protect themselves from violent crime in a city that has been scarred by drive-by shootings and deadly road rage incidents”
Really? Good luck with that. 
Why do we as a society continue to put up with the paranoid silliness of gun owners? Statistically, if you’re a gun owner, the most likely person to shoot you is...you. The rest is just crying in your pillow.
Hey MSNBC! (as if my grievance would be entertained) There has not been a single primary vote. There has not been a single minute of Trump before a jury of his peers. THE ELECTION IS NOT FOR FOURTEEN, (>>F O U R T E E N<<) EEF’ing months!!! Please stop spending your 24/7 airtime discussing, analyzing, endlessly parsing and mapping election polls. Please.
But...but...what if someone complains that the NYT is biased? Or worse, what if someone said the NYT wasn’t being fair and balanced? That would be unbecoming of the paper of record!
Everyone knows kittens want to grow up and marry a prince and live happily ever after!
We can’t let this left-wing misinformation stand!!
