In addition to all the sane, honest, and compassionate people in the U.S., I’m sure there are many Trump supporters who would agree.

Rich people may love the tax breaks, but very few of them want their kids to become criminal sociopaths.

Tucker Carlson has made what is perhaps the most dramatic flipflop on U.S. political history, from a Fox News host moron to a liberal intellectual.  I had to smile when I came across this video, where he cautions an Israeli leader not to describe Iran as a “terrorist regime,” when Israel itself is murdering thousands of children in Gaza.

My only problem with him at this point is that I have to think he’s completely insincere.  Can someone go from a Trump supporter to Bernie Sanders on the basis of some awakening late in life?  Isn’t it more likely that he sees better financial opportunity with his current position?

What Are We to Make of Tucker Carlson’s “180?”

I recently met an attorney who told me that is specialty is traffic.  “Really!” I replied. “That sounds interesting.  Could you give me an example of what you do, and for whom?”

He explained that people who get hefty citations hire him to get their cases dismissed, or have their fines greatly reduced.  He summarized this as follows, “I take money away from local governments, and keep bad drivers on the road.”

Holy crap, I was thinking.  Not everyone is a Mahatma Gandhi or MLK, but should anyone fashion a career out of making the world a more dangerous and degraded place than it already is?

I’ll grant that this is an extreme example. But consider that there are millions of people working in industries like fossil fuels, tobacco, sodas, and building war machines.  Then we have our elected officials whose job it is destroy public education and environmental health, while others work on gerrymandering so as to keep themselves in office and dismantle our democracy.

Sure, the attorney described above has a disgusting profession, but he’s not alone.
