“This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.” Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Ralph Nader:
“Once again, government socialism bails out reckless capitalist banks with GOP and Democratic party support. So far, three capitalist banks saved and counting. Tougher regulation needed from Congress to control large bankers’ greed. -R”

“Seismic Iran-Saudi Rapprochement Isolates US”
“The Chinese-brokered diplomatic deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran not only opens the way for resolution of region-wide conflicts, but potentially foils U.S. Mideast designs based on Saudi-Iranian enmity, writes Joe Lauria.”
“After many years of US Foreign policies destroying so many countries infrastructure and murdering innocent people for economic gain for a very few people is slowly coming to an end. War for profit is going to end with the destruction of the US economic system. We will not be able to afford war. The very rich will be able to buy up the rest of the US and it's allies for pennies on the dollar. I predict the collapse of our economy no later than Dec of 2025. This has been a carefully orchestrated economic decline brought about by some very smart intellectually wise greedy bastards to profit and bring about a world government.”

Democrats’ approval of Arctic oil development – as well as setting up all of the arctic for future expansion for big oil – has nothing to do with what the American People Want:
“Westerners support 100% clean energy, less oil drilling — even in red states”
“The U.S. must move to a greener, fairer energy economy. Public lands and waters should be a part of that future. 🌿
How? The agencies who manage these lands must prioritize climate protection, human connections and conservation – not corporate profits.”

“The Greta Effect
An analysis of global plastic data over the past four decades, published in the journal PLOS ONE, found that there’s now an estimated 170 trillion plastic particles—more than 2.2 million tons—floating in the world’s oceans. That number saw a sharp increase in the past 15 years, dovetailing, the researchers found, with ineffective global policies to reduce plastic waste. If we don’t act, the amount of plastic that’s there now could more than double by 2040.
“For Every Person on Earth, There are 21,000 pieces of plastic in the ocean”

“The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don’t know how to be submissive, and so on – because they’re dysfunctional to the institutions.” Noam Chomsky
