Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

For all those who said they vote Republican because of their pocketbook…must have empty feeling in their pocket.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150
Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.

Forecasts About War Are Usually Wrong—Here’s The Pattern, And Why You Should Worry | Justin Wolfers
Forecasts About War Are Usually Wrong—Here’s The Pattern, And Why You Should Worry | Justin Wolfers What if the most reassuring line in politics—“this will be quick and controlled”—is actually the biggest warning sign? War is brutally costly, so the economist’s puzzle is simple: if both sides know…

I'm not quite sure what to call this — a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.

It's my attempt to explain the economics of war — economic theories of how and why war occurs — and to use that framework to better understand our current moment.

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other? Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.

Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

A confession on the darkest corners of the banking world, the pursuit of power and wealth leads to actions so grotesque they challenge our concept of morality.
For Bernard, the tipping point came when he was asked to take part in something he could not stomach—sacrifices involving children.

History is full of weird stuff.
Leslie Epstein's novel, King of the Jews, was published in 1979. It is a work of historical fiction. It is about a charismatic con artist named Trumpleman who turns into a totalitarian leader after promising his people a golden age.

The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.

Trump has trashed our economy.
Trump has been raping and torturing children for 30+ years. Trump started a war, alot of people will die..it is the Republican way.
The debt exploded.
The conservative news goes along and hides his evil…and blame the democrats.
But hey... the worse is yet to come.

Remember when we fought for peace and freedom?
Now we fight to accelerate the destruction of the entire planet based on some outdated religious philosophy?…as per the Dept of War?

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.
