I hope it's now obvious to Trump supporters that the billionaire businessman from New York City does not care about working-class Americans. He just pays lip service to populist ideals to trick them in to voting for him, and then once

The purpose is not for it to “work”. The men who do this have not had success with women, and have grown frustrated and resentful. They feel powerless in this area. The only way they can reclaim power and feel better about themselves is to

> Doesn’t seem odd to me for the US to come in and back the current government? It seems odd to me. The US presents itself as the “city on a hill”, a shining beacon of democracy and freedom for the world to look up to as an example. This

Interesting info. Given this, I’m surprised that the cop that killed Jahnavi Kandula while going 74 in a 25 did not experience any consequences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jaahnavi_Kandula

I wouldn’t exactly say “complicit”. I’m sure that many of them are desperately searching for a new job to get away from whatever idiot product manager decided to put ads and microtransactions in minesweeper. In the meantime, they don’t have

Discoveries like this should be shared with the world - not gatekept by rent-seeking venture capitalists. Wouldn’t you rather be Jonas Salk than Scrooge McDuck? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk > Salk was im
