I am the descendant of a ton of people who said "farming sucks, actually, I would rather be doing literally anything else"
People seem to forget that the reason the industrial revolution worked is that, however bad factories were, it was way way way better than subsistence farming

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.

He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.

Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.

Both men are alive.

How come they've never been asked to testify?

Apart from the egregious nature of all this, what a complete waste of money and resources. Flying folks around (with, presumably, ICE agents in tow), court time, incarceration costs (which seems to be as little as they can get away with). And all for a guy who it appears did everything by the book?

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

The dehumanizing character of a big box store reaches its ugly conclusion here. Covid opened my eyes to the opposite-the urgent necessity and humanity of public, human-scale spaces like our public park downtown and senior center where masks and vaccines were distributed.
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.
