Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Each person they convince is a new customer for them.
That’s why the industry is unregulated and now worth $6.3 TRILLION dollars.
(Unregulated because of bipartisan political action, btw)
The wellness industry does not improve health.
In fact, it objectively WORSENS health.

Medical conspiracism: that government & their affiliates like "Big Pharma" and "Big Food" are hiding health interventions to harm us - is central to wellness rhetoric.
The wellness industry positions its products as altruistic, "natural" alternatives, claiming that regulation impedes health.

Beyond anti-vaccine lies, RFK Jr lies about genetically modified food & conventional farming.

Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?
