The Endangered Species Act isn’t just some environmental checkbox it’s one of the most successful, broadly popular, bipartisan pieces of conservation law in American history.

Trump administration moves to roll back some Endangered Species Act protections
The proposed changes include the elimination of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s “blanket rule” that automatically protects animals and plants when they are classified as threatened.

I won't feed the publishing myth.
My case:
1. We can live on my wife's salary alone.
2. My only jobs are writing and loading the dishwasher.
3. If I fail as an author, only my pride gets hurt.
That's privilege.
My wins don't prove midlisters can build careers without safety nets.
I'm skeptical.

If he succeeds, it shows the rest of the country it can be done. Suddenly, other politicians will rise up and demand simple things. And then suddenly, we’ll be just like Europe, taxing Oligarchs out of endless wealth, and average Americans left with universal healthcare, child care and maybe UBI.

Universal Basic Income is sounding really great about now. The money should come from the same billionaires that stole my 20 or so scholarly publications (intellectual property) without permission or citation to train their AI and make big bucks.

I mean.. we probably wouldn't need disability payments or food stamps if we all got universal healthcare and UBI that covered all basic living expenses every month. It would probably save the government so much money in the long run, too.
But then we couldn't be made desperate and easy to exploit.

They project this will cost $75M up front and $30M a year and I'm guessing if you just gave the majority of these folks $57,000 and then a $23,000 basic income and let them live a life, they'd do just fine. And that's assuming they stay in budget. But helping people ain't our thing, punishment is.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
