FYI: Starlink part of SpaceX (not publicly traded) owned by Elon Musk controls 2/3 of the satellites orbiting Earth. The goal was to provide low cost internet access to remote locations. One person controlling communications is just scary.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.
This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.

We risk entering a dark age that will not only cost lives but money. Polio is not always deadly but can cause serious illness that can reemerge years later. The tax payer will shoulder the burden. We need to get loud and oppose the appointment of RFK Jr

Lost 3 hours of precious time watching Landman. Women are portrayed as simpering sexpots and men are gnarly dudes. Oil is king and we cannot exist without it. We need to stop watching the BS Taylor Sheridan is populating on TV. Yellowstone, Landman, Lioness maintain the worst of gender roles

A 7 day postpartum stay in a luxury resort will not prevent postpartum depression. Boram, modeled on sanhujoriwon, cannot deliver. What might impact and prevent postpartum mood disorders are nurse led home visits, parental leave for both parents and support from professionals, friends and family.

His comments about women in combat roles are far and above more troubling than his drinking. His treatment of women was called out by his MOTHER! I am angry about the persistent misogyny and the focus should rest there. But whatever it takes to get rid of this guy.

Kowtow - a sign of submission in which a person kneels and bows as their head touches the ground. It is distressing to see the migration of leaders to pay homage before the inauguration.

Watching the national news tonight (NBC). Story about increase in whooping cough (pertussis) cases and NO mention of vaccination schedules among pediatric population. This is a highly contagious preventable bacterial infection. Shame on NBC for not mentioning this critical fact.

Every few weeks I go to Costco and buy Kirkland organic free range eggs. The cost is $7.29 for 24. When I check prices of eggs in my local supermarket organic free range eggs are about $7.99 for 12. Costco did not donate to the Trump campaign but Publix did. This is a win-win.

I've been looking at language to define what is so hard to understand, at least for me, in this coming government. I was raised thinking that truth, integrity and accountability matter. I am not naive and need to make sense of all of this. But much of what I see is power, ego and corruption.

Qualified - (adj.) being trained to perform a particular job; fitted for a given purpose. Reality shows, wrestling CEO, and even medical school do not qualify as the training necessary to lead the Dept of Ed, CDC, Medicare/Medicaid etc. What will happen when they fail or get bored?

An asset can have tangible or intangible qualities. An asset can help build the career of another but try to remain distant or uninvolved. In this case it is impossible; we see you.
