The Roman empire did not fall, it became a church. Maga is all ready for that to happen in the US

Let's not call it a Nazi salute. Let's call it a Maga salute. It was Roman first, then it was used by Mussolini, then by Nazi Germany. Now it can be used by Maga.

UHC have done the math and concluded it couldn't possibly happen a second time, so there's no need to change. They've done it again and concluded a third time is even more unlikely, no changes. A forty time? Unlikely. No changes. A fifth? Couldn't possibly.

The best part of writing (stories or songs) is sharing a finished project. The worst part is everything up to that point.
