It affects us all. Climate change, the US foreign policy, how they relate to Russia, Israel and Palestine, misinformation campaigns, etc.

We can hide in other countries, but America is still screwing us over.

So… they saved the land, not the people. It’s like cutting employee salaries to avoid a takeover from another company. Don’t worry everyone… we “saved” you.

It also ignores that taxes were actually LOWERED on tea just before the Boston Tea Party. This made it so taxed tea was cheaper than smuggled tea and people would be paying that tax without getting representation. Thus, the whole reason for fighting.

The last one could just have just been review bombed because it was “woke” for casting a person of colour as the lead, or a woman.

Congrats everyone, we got the Purge, but remember this is America where hoarding happens. Everyone doesn’t get one day, one person gets 4 years.

To be fair, it would be the only time I’d give that guy my vote.

Don’t worry. We all do.

We should get to vote for which Wealth Hoarder though. Another one from OceanGate is unoriginal.

Not a waste at all. It’s got a lot of backstory needed for the rest of the show. Plus, witches!

The way it was explained to me, praying to a Saint to speak to God on your behalf is like asking a friend to pray for you. You could just pray to God yourself, but for some reason, having more people pray for you is better.

Chances are, it isn’t. The early Catholic Church did a lot of this kind of thing, where they would claim to have a piece of the cross, or a bone of St Peter in a church. It was just to drive tourism into their churches. If you took all the claimed pieces of the cross and assembled them, it would make far more than one cross.
