In other words, I know it sucks that we have to give up some treasure but I promise we'll get back to not paying anything as soon as possible. We're still good. Just a little bump in the road for our hoarding but we've got Dems actively planning a moderate stance so it won't take long at all.

We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.
They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.
