Well, of course. All the laws, rules and regulations to do with money are designed, and agreed to, by the rich. The rest of us, who have no money, don't take an interest, although clearly we should.

Before they destroyed Baghdad, the USA promised to rebuild it. They didn't. The rich members of the Bush administration were queueing up to invest. They didn't.

Communist China was strong in ways you'll never understand.

It is still run by the Communist Party of China, and led by President Xi Jinping. China now has the best of both worlds. A communistic society, and a capitalistic economy.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

I think you'll find they're almost all privately schooled these days, both the girls and boys, which is why inhumanity comes so naturally to them.

So Polanski was privately schooled too, and it's this, the exception proving the rule, that makes him so refreshing.
