Knowing without being able to do anything is not an ideal place to be but here we are. Comfy it ain't. :(

Not one word about the things that really matter like caring for others, taking care of those in need, being compassionate and welcoming and fair and just and kind. Not one friggin' word about anything but money. Rescind all rules so folks can make more money. Remove protections from national parks so business folk can make more money. Tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy on the backs of the poor is de rigueur. Gutting/cutting/killing social service safety nets like Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security to pay off the $1.5 trillion in added debt that Republicans have saddled us with without compunction because they know what they can raid, where they can steal the money to offset it. Nothing about anything but money. The whole lot of them care only about money money money money money. I think that is reprehensibly disgusting and those folks? Well I really can't... less

Apparently, there was a hit-and-run, and I missed everything. I didn't even hear the sirens.
