few have TOO

"live" in Squalor

we're doing
Wrong:
how many Estates

we have a minimum wage
let's have a Maximum wage

Absolutely. I think, very clearly, the critical race theory — the idea of it is being used as a bogeyman, and it is being misrepresented and distorted by people who don’t even know what critical race theory is, right?
So we should be clear that the thing that people are calling critical race theory is just — that is the language that they are using to talk about the idea
of teaching any sort of history that rejects the idea that America is a singularly exceptional place, and
that we should not account for the history of harm
that has been enacted to create opportunities and intergenerational wealth for millions of people, that has come at the direct expense of millions and millions of other people across generations.
Eastern WA reps are just insane: mean-spirited and willfully ignorant, but the candidates are even worse. Tiffany Smith (the GOP challenger to Patty Murray) is another Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and there’s a few psychos running for the Vancouver area district (which isn’t Eastern Washington, but might as well be).
Shorter RWNJ'S: "It's the bike thieves, they're sending our country down the toilet! Something MUST BE DONE!
What? An attempted coup? A $250,000,000 grift? Rapacious oil companies raking in billions of dollars in excess profit by jacking up gas prices? I have no idea what you're talking about. And even if I did (which I most definitely DON'T), eh - what are ya' gonna do?"

Why bother, Raindrop? She’s just another nitwit, like Lauren Kulp

Prior studies show that 90 percent of the money from a "gas tax rebate or holiday" get taken by the fossil fuel corporations, not given to consumers.
It's a very very very bad idea.
@2 China burns a lot of coal. But the US is still number three. So its not like we are totally awesome.
https://www.worldometers.info/coal/coal-consumption-by-country/
But what is important is consumption per capita. As in use based on population.
Per-capita Australia, of all places, burns the most (5,343.29 cu ft per capita).
@14 -- THANK
