I know this clip on the SCOTUS is presented as a bit of a joke, but it has the tragic consequence of being completely accurate (definitely NSFW/H...more antics from “Strip Search Sammy” are here)...
...and we recently had to deal with one of the more inane stories to grab headlines, with VP Kamala Harris taking flak, you might say, over introducing herself to a meeting of folks with disabilities...I think this David Doel clip kind of runs on a bit, but he makes good points; however, I think the criticisms of Dems and their admittedly cozy corporate ties can wait for another video, but that’s OK, and I’m getting a little tired of people like Doel saying Dems have delivered nothing at all, as opposed to just saying that they’ve fallen short on student debt relief, reclassifying pot from a Schedule 1 drug, etc. (and with this in mind too) – listening to Lara Trump makes me want to rub a cheese grader over my head to get her to shut her mitt...mildly NSFW/H...people losing their minds about identifying yourself with pronouns apparently have no familiarity with Linkedin, for example, where that happens all the freaking time...
...and this More Perfect Union clip reminds us that CEOs have enjoyed soaring pay during our current bout with inflation, as opposed to their employees (and let’s not forget that the thoroughly odious practice of stock buybacks was legalized by The Sainted Ronnie R...Target is profiled here, but there are a hell of a lot of other culprits also...670 to 1, huh? Welcome to The Gilded Age II on steroids)...
...and as long as we’re on the subject of inflation, I give you some truth on this subject from Robert Reich...
...and I thought this Second Thought video offered a pretty thorough critique of working under capitalism, but not so much about working under socialism, though I think he pretty much acknowledges that we really don’t have a one-size-fits-all working example to look at on that, though the discussion about the health care professionals in Cuba is definitely important to consider (and ownership of the means of production, if you choose to refer to it as such, is definitely something I think we should explore)...
...and Beau tells us about the Biden Administration trying to plant 1.2 billion trees to fight climate change, something else I’m sure his administration won’t get credit for from our corporate-owned beltway media that can’t get through a news cycle without trying to gin up a controversy of one type or another...can’t wait for the caterwauling from Fix Noise and the usual right-wing suspects on this...
...and sticking with science matters, this DW report tells us that Vlad The Butcher has apparently decided to stop cooperating with this country on the space station as of 2024; from the report by Lea Albrecht, it sounds like the station was likely to reach obsolescence by that time anyway, though I’m sure the fact that we’re helping to arm Ukraine helped hasten the decision, which is just too bad for Putin as far as I’m concerned...
...and I hope this tune helps us ease into a nice, lazy summer weekend for everybody.
