Oh. This’ll be the death blow? We’ve had so many now.

“I voted for the racism, not for it to affect me personally!”

It’s looked like this pretty much every day since the clean air acts of the late 80s.

This picture specifically is the morning after a rainstorm. That always cleans it up a bit more.

LA is not anywhere near as bad as the movies make it out to be. It was that had, though, before emissions regulations.

I was fine with the rape and the fraud and the endless lies and the misogyny and the racism and the homophobia and the transphobia and the corruption and the police brutality and the caged babies and the disappearing of citizens and the terrorism and the attempted coup and the autocracy and the ending the rule of law and the threats to invade neighboring countries and the building-a-golf-resort-on-top-of-a-genocide, but now he’s giving Wall Street the jitters, so I’m not so sure about this guy any more.

I am pretty confident I know what his accent is like just by reading his name.

It’s theft. Brazen, straight up theft. Imagine what’s happening where we can’t see.

The media is owned by the same billionaires that own the politicians.

This isn’t a left versus right thing anymore. It’s a have vs the have-nots.

And there’s a lot more of us have-nots.

American leaders aren’t in it for the citizens any longer.

That’s not correct, an import tariff is a tax charged by the government receiving the imported goods, which then enriches the receiving country.

Export tariffs are similar but charged by the company exporting the goods, that is not what’s at issue here. Although that’ll probably happen in retaliation.

Artificially raise prices with tariffs for three years: “Look what impossible problems the democrats left us with!”

Take all those tariffs away in election year 2028 “We saved you! Only us! You’d better keep us in charge”

Who am I kidding, we won’t have any more elections.

Yeah. All faith in democrats wanting to do the BAREST MINIMUM to make a difference is flat out gone. Both sides apparently want the poor dead or in prison. Republicans are just gonna make it happen faster.

I don’t know, they are certainly close to dumb enough to sign off on it. Or, you know, we can just do it and ignore the rules since they are all so fond of that now.

Scared of the coup already

It took this election for me to be convinced of this. They are not dumb. They’re running the same failed playbook, not trying new ideas, and not swinging left because it will make all of them slightly less rich, and that’s the ultimate goal.

We need a true party for the people again.

Then we get JD Vance. Yuck.

It’s not the first time Alaska’s shoddy maintenance practices caused an incident. At least this one didn’t kill 88 people like the last one. https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-price-of-an-hour-the-crash-of-alaska-airlines-flight-261-c797a7c3d90d
