Don't forget Scientology. They had members infiltrate the IRS all over the country, working from the inside to get tax-exempt status for them, cementing their identity as an official religion.

So what? Society shouldn't have to indulge their untreated mental illness.

There ya go.

The answer is Yes. ALL cops are cowards to begin with, and are trained to embrace their cowardice by responding with extreme force to the slightest inconvenience.

The outcry over HitlerPig's child separation policy was enormous. I personally called every one of my elected officials and literally HOLLERED at them over the phone, demanding they do something about it. I don't think I was ever outraged more about a government policy. He rescinded it after a few days because the pressure was so intense.

The Biden administration tried hard to return those children, but to this day, there are almost 1000 children who have never been reunited with their parents, and likely never will. It is one of the worst modern atrocities of the American government iny lifetime, and it is entirely MAGA's fault.

It's not fair! Poor people get all the breaks!

Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?

Go back before smoking sections, and it was the Wild West. Smoking was the default environment. Non-smokers were expected to remove themselves if they were bothered by it.

At the grocery store there would be a line of gumball machines for kids, right alongside a cigarette machine.

My high school had a smoking courtyard, right across from the cafeteria. We called it The Pit. Teachers smoked in the Teachers Lounge. It was famous for having a cloud of smoke pour out whenever the door opened.

I remember being in a doctor's office as a kid, and having the doctor light up during the exam!

In many families, both parents would smoke in the car with the windows rolled up, and kids in the backseat, with no car seats or seat belts.

Nobody asked permission to smoke after a meal, they'd just light up, even if others were still eating. I remember my Dad getting offended when I asked him not to light his pipe at the dinner table while I was still eating.

People smoked at every table in any restaurant.

In offices, people smoked at their desks, until offices started having smoking rooms, and eventually chased them outside. Today I see workplaces where smoking isn't allowed anywhere on the premises.

I worked in record stores starting in 1977, and there was always a standup ashtray at the intersections of aisles, filled with sand. At the end of the night, while the manager was counting the till, one of the clean up jobs was taking a sieve to each ashtray, and sifting out the cigarette butts. Every store I worked in had ashtrays, until I became a store manager, and banned smoking in my stores.

Almost EVERYBODY smoked in the 60s and 70s, except me.

SpaceX should be nationalized. We paid for it, it's ours.

I'm down for that. I could be satisfied with only $50 million.

If AI is so productive, we should have Unuversal Basic Income, and free college/vocational education for anyone who wants it.

Take it from them, and distribute it to the workers who earned it, not the guy who cracked the whip.
