The document lists her name as "Lucy" and states her nationality as "United States of America." Her date of birth is "10 Mar 1988," and her place of birth is "Pennsylvania, U.S.A." The date of issue is "25 Aug 2005," and the expiration date is "24 Aug 2015."

3 Screenshots from the movie "Contagion" (2011): First, a man in a formal suit stands behind a podium in a large, multi-level public building, speaking into multiple microphones. He is addressing a crowd gathered on balconies above, and the subtitle reads, "We shall now begin the drawing. John." Second, a close-up shot of a hand picking up a white lottery ball marked "03-10" from a metal container, indicating a randomized selection process. Third, the man at the podium continues speaking to the crowd, now viewed from a wider perspective, with the subtitle stating, "The first MEV-1 vaccination are those people born on March 10th."
Mar 10th - Those lucky enough to be born on this day, were the first to receive the MEV-1 vaccination .

4 Screenshots from the movie "Freaks" (2019): First, a young girl with messy blonde hair and a bandaged hand stands in a cluttered, dimly lit kitchen filled with shelves of jars and supplies. A bearded man in a plaid shirt stirs a pot on the stove. The subtitle reads, "I'm Eleanor Reed. Age 7." Second, the girl walks past the shelves with her head slightly lowered, and the subtitle states, "My birthday..." Third, a close-up of the girl's face shows her looking down with a somber expression, and the subtitle continues, "Is March 9th." Fourth, the man reaches toward her with a serious expression as he adjusts her hair, and the subtitle corrects, "March 10th."
Mar 10th - Chloe Lewis was born. She has spent her whole life confined inside an abandoned house with her father Henry because she's an "abnormal" and he's worried about "the bad men" getting her.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
"There is so much we should be spending money on, the NHS, crumbling schools and infrastructure, public services, child poverty.
Instead, we are being dragged in the wake of Forever Wars Trump."

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.
Then he let US bombers pit stop here.
He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the βSAVE AMERICAβ act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to βsave Americaβ.
