I do this! Dad taught me. He fought Nazis at the Battle of the Bulge as well as McCarthy followers. When maga phones for donations I keep them on phone asking lots of questions and pledge large sums of money and never pay. It’s fun!

The class wars.

Pete Hegseth has vowed to stop drinking and raping women and is getting his mom to call senators asking them to give him a job as [checks notes] Secretary of Defense. The Hegseths are the family of party values.

Classic move: authoritarianism is about undoing checks and regulations that prevent elites' ability to plunder societies and treat people as assets to exploit.

Aussie based in Norway. The money from gas and oil goes to the Sovereign Wealth fund (a future fund) here. Currently worth $1,700 BILLION US dollars. For a population of 6 and half million. Increasing at about 1.4 billion every quarter.

Yeah, it's a no brainer.

This makes sense to me, though economics not my field.

Why not have the common wealth of Australia flow into the coffers of the Commonwealth Of Australia?

The NAR equates spirituality with voting MAGA. You would not be far off in calling them the American Taliban.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Also being considered weird is to conservatives what water is to the wicked witch of the west; their whole identity is tied to being normal, and their normalcy is why they consider themselves people who deserve to live. β€œWeird” is nbd to most normal weirdos but to these sick bastards it is death.
