Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us how the elites in this country pit us against each other to rob us blind...and OF COURSE, DHS tries blaming immigrants for this country’s many ills, which is straight out of the authoritarian playbook (and kudos once more to Pramila Jayapal for speaking truth to stoo-pid)...and as far as I’m concerned, if you’ve done something to get under the skin of Matt Yglesias, you’re on the right track...I don’t know much about this Peter Schiff guy, though I believe his take on the rich and our economy is utterly wrong...the Oxfam guy makes a pretty damn compelling IMO argument for a wealth tax at long freaking last...I didn’t know that 36 percent of billionaire wealth is derived from inheritance, but that does seem to fit...and oh yeah, Leon (“I Care”) Cooperman, the hedge fund manager, really is that big of a leech, fake emotionalism notwithstanding...important to note not just how these bottom feeders basically make us recoup what they don’t pay in taxes, but also how private equity buying up rental housing has put home ownership out of reach, in particular for those in their 20s and 30s looking to get started (and veterinary care too??? No bottom for these scumwaffles)...I’m glad Figueredo found a way to work in data centers, since I think they pose a huge threat to our quality of life also...didn’t know Mark Zuckerberg drove Hawaiians off their own freaking land so he could build a pleasure palace...this clip should be viewed by (among others) all of these conservative centrist boomers in bedroom communities in Bucks County (and elsewhere) in places such as Solebury, Buckingham, Perkasie, Quakertown, etc. who are conditioned to defer to the one percent in the way Figueredo describes (NSFW/H)...
...and Kyle Kulinski comments on the shooting at Brown University, with at least 2 dead and 9 injured (looks like it’s time not to politicize gun violence again...SMDH), and also the shooting on the beach at Sydney, Australia, which was a much worse mass casualty event unfortunately (and I’ll admit that one of these things is not like the other because Australia takes the mass proliferation of guns seriously)...Kyle’s video shows gunfire in real time though no one is hit in this segment, just to warn you in advance...and I also don’t know how good Destiny would be at running the FBI, but his intellect is off the charts, so whatever he DID do would be pretty well grounded in reality (and I realize I haven’t done “Do-Gooders And Dregs” posts here for 10 years, for those of you keeping score at home, but if I did, Ahmad El Ahmad would be the Do-Gooder Of The Year for his bravery here)...and I couldn’t give a sh*t about anything Candace Owens or Laura Loomer have to say, or this Riley Gaines person “chasing clout” no doubt, and that rabbi blaming Palestinians for this should STFU (NSFW/H also)...
...and this New York Times clip discusses how U.S.-Somali citizens in Minnesota are protecting themselves against ICE raids; the nurse practitioner interviewed used to be proud of carrying her US passport, but now she does so to keep from getting hauled off to some black site where God knows what will happen to her...oh, and a gentleman who served in the Army National Guard for six years and also on his town’s city council is also interviewed (another American of Somali descent)...after watching this clip, I think anyone who voted for Dementia J. Trump should be made to wear a shirt with a “T” on it for the rest of their lives, forcing them to advertise what utter numbskulls they truly are (I could also think of worse punishments, but I don’t want to get flagged for bad language)...
...and I’m in the mood to try and lighten things up a bit here...this clip from The Daily Show takes a page out of “The Shop Around The Corner,” “You’ve Got Mail,” and all of those cloying info-mercial-like Hallmark programs that proliferate this time of year (the ending is absolutely spot-on IMO...mildly NSFW/H also)...
...and here are more tunes for the season.
