Apparently I was added to some starter pack list, so I have like 1300 followers now. Cool cool. I'm not really trying to engage with the public so much as find a community, but if you dig what I post, please comment and maybe we'll get to know each other.

"[T]he company has spent decades being acquired by and divested from private equity firms, served as a revolving door for senior leadership."

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.
EV challenges = the federal tax break was murdered by the GOP.
This is the kind of thing that Wall Street *loves*, and this layoff comes after a string of pronouncements from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy about how AI is going to let them fire *tons* of workers."

That physics is just HARD, no matter what Hegseth wants.
The Military’s Missile Defense System Cannot Be as Good as It Says

“Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections”

The central organizing principal of the Republican Party, at both the federal & state levels, is now that votes for & governing by Democrats are fundamentally illegitimate. This is totally incompatible with democratic/republican government.
