I’m in the minority for living in a world built on facts, logic, critical reasoning, and science.
Are fossil fuel subsidies an efficient use of tax💰?

In the most recent year on record, the U.S. govt provided ~$20 billion in direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, with about $16 billion allocated to oil and gas, and the remaining $4 billion benefiting the coal industry.

I’m so excited for 70 million Americans to feel the pain of Medicaid cuts. And I’m especially looking forward to the Trump supporters losing BIGLY!

My thoughts after a skim of the Dem 2024 platform:

1. Biden = Bad for brand

2. Take a stand & be specific. “Good jobs” “Lower costs”?

3. Structure the doc in a way that people would read & understand. Bullets. Concise.

4. Address the argument against it head on.

Of course bribery by US citizens & companies is now legal under Trump. Unbelievable that the country is lowering the ethics bar. Add this to Dem’s #project2029.

The govt needs reform, and tearing down & starting fresh is easier than reform here & there, but will only be better if the ones building are informed by experts in that space. Elon & Trump are not experts nor bring in experts so it’ll inevitably be flawed.

Bring back the fairness doctrine and expand it to include anything that claims to be ‘news’ on any medium to force the extreme crazies from both sides to pull their heads out of their own asses. The only people that benefit from biased ‘news’ collect ad spend.

2. Humanity is getting dumber, led by the Yanks.

DePaul University emails me for donations monthly at a minimum. Sure, I went to uni there. I [erm my parents] paid for it. Why would I then give them money? Who are these everyday people — not the ones giving millions to name the library after them — who send them cash? I just don’t understand!

My PA / coworker today. I need another cup of coffee STAT, and if you could pick up lunch on your way back, that’d be super.

Oh dear… drug use and killing living things is actually a prerequisite in the Trump White House so he’ll fit in great. Has he happened to sexually abuse or rape any women? Because then no confirmation meeting is needed. 🎪
Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

RFK Jr is a no doubt a nutcase who shouldn’t be responsible for his own health, let alone an entire nation, but at least he recognises the problem with US school lunches. Politics & the food industry made it impossible to make positive changes. Great listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
