He frigging pranked them, and me, to be honest. Flat-out lie. I looked around after being challenged on Twitter and from what I could find out from reports from actual Iranians, this just ain’t so.

I’m posting a CNBC story in LBN about it.

Ours just chooses not to.

The government is supposed to insure harmony. The people demonstrated disharmony. The government acknowledges their grievances and slowly and thoughtfully starts making changes to address them, thereby acting to keep the Mandate of Heaven.

Even authoritarian governments can be responsive to popular protest, to secure their own rule if nothing else.

A pro-labor Democrat is now an oxymoron.

The theocratic Iranian and authoritarian Chinese governments both responded more to popular protests by changing policy than any American government has done lately.

Please don’t talk to me about voter outreach, either. This is about activism, in this case a protest in NYC, not elections.

They believe in something bigger than Nazis, and Nazis don’t like that.

I’ve seen this shit for thirty years. Neoliberal frauds never change.

So turtles talk. I’ve missed these articles of yours, Eridani.

And the book contracts. They can easily make hundreds of thousands guaranteed just by writing a book, often with a lot of help, of course.

Then, when they leave Congress, I’m sure there’s some NGO board seat waiting for them somewhere. It’s just another revolving door of corruption.

I’m seeing more of this, and that’s good. I don’t think enough people have thought of this, that paid sick time should be a right for all employees and contractors.

Bill Gates said that it was unfortunate so many Africans were getting the Omicron variant and surviving, because it was acting as a natural vaccine for Covid, preventing it from mutating into more profitable variants. Profitable for Bill Gates, of course.
