- Comment on Meet the Megadonors Who Have Poured $1.2 Billion Into the Midterms | The leaderboard of the top 20 donors is dominated by the tech industry and ultrawealthy Republicans. 6 days ago:
Can’t pay equitable taxes but burning money on elections is ok.
Fwiw I know that it keeps their material interests centered so it isn’t burning but in a way, it is just gone.

Oh we try both. The state runs the St Louis and KC police departments.

This is what the legislature does here. We vote for Medicaid, they strip it. We vote against anti-union legislation, they put it back on the ballot. We voted to keep the current state constitutional right to democratically amend the state constitution when they want to have full control over that apparatus and they want to ballot it again. We voted to protect abortion rights in the state last year. They are making us vote on it again this year. They patronisingly continue to tell us that we don’t know what we are voting for.
This is a gerrymandered autocracy.

Like vote, please vote against this, but the battle for a fair election may already be lost. The GOP’s primary target is to rig the selection system since at least Bush v Gore.

Talk about some more really old old mountains.
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 3 weeks ago:
Those mountains to the east have endured much more bullshit than those young whippersnapper ranges in the west. They’re story begins as part of the African continental plate.

- Comment on How best to open a blueberry? 3 weeks ago:
Closer to a hexagonal Allen wrench than a torx. Still more round than anything else.
- Comment on How best to open a blueberry? 3 weeks ago:
This all a bit dull for my humor, so how about attempt to make it more dull. If you think this is an anatomical fact about blueberries, it is not. That disc is round.
The calyx, which are the sepals attached to the fruit give it the look of the torx shape in some cases. This is simply due to it having five united sepals that are reminiscent of a star shape themselves. The sepals are modified leaves that protect the flower bud during development which are fused to blueberry fruits but I digress.
The scar from the calyx, which is the disc in the middle where the actual flower petals, nectory, and sexy bits once were connected is round.

To cover costs, we cannot compare the current system. The current, utterly bloated, most expensive system would not exist with universal healthcare.
