What could we imagine if both governing parties didn’t squander our collective wealth bombing (or bombing by proxy) poor Black and brown people all over the world and locking us up and running ice here? What if we gave one f-15 jet budget to every school district, or ice’s budget to public clinics?

But also maybe they should ruin his life?
A guy asking Epstein for advice on how to sexually harass a junior colleague knows exactly what Epstein was and was clearly OK with it. I am frankly OK with someone ruining his life.
Evidently it ought to have happened decades ago.

Women's problem is not meeting the same standards as men. We do that every day, and often exceed expectations.
But if you're expected to fuck Larry Summers to get ahead, it's no surprise that women might fall behind men, who are not expected to do this.

For 500 years the wealthy have bought up all our food supplies, our medicine supplies, our energy creation & distribution, our fuel for our vehicles & they control the housing & water we need to survive.
