Few Americans respect the memory of Che Guevara, and the further they are to the right, the more that’s true. Still, I believe (or at least hope) that most of us would agree with what he said at left.
It’s akin to what theologist Fulton Sheen said, circa 1925, “You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.”
Sadly, our society is headed in the precise opposite direction.
Workers in companies owned by billionaires are being replaced by AI and other forms of IT/automation.
The various parts of the U.S. federal government that formerly provided help for those who need it are being dismantled, and the proceeds distributed to wealthy Republican donors.
Environmental deregulation is causing toxic pollution and climate change, the effects of which disproportionately are hitting the poor.
Would be great to see all this reverse course.
Well, if I had the IQ of a squirrel and believed that Fauci colluded with hundreds of other top scientists around the world to enslave the planet’s population, I would jump right on board.
Doesn’t work for me, though.
Today, however, belief in science and reason makes me a communist.
If you want a steady stream of information about the supposed value that ExxonMobil is bringing to the world, you may want to sign up for this.
These people are playing for keeps, btw. They’re destroying a little piece more of this planet every day, and they understand that completely.
But there is money at stake. Lots of it.
ExxonMobil Has a PR Campaign that Will Appeal to Some People
To the reader who sent me this meme:
I wouldn’t say that Trump’s illegal invasion of Iran was done for “no … reason.”
What he did created world chaos and caused most Americans in particular to suffer. The more desperate we become, the more likely we’ll be to accept his repeated claims that “Only I can fix it.”
Chaos also helps to justify a claim of a “national emergency” that Trump could use to cancel the 2026 midterms. If November happens as everyone predicts, this will the end of his political and legal future.
Destroying renewable energy to further enrich his Big Oil megadonors makes Trump that much more powerful.
We’re in a pathetic position.
I’m not one to say, “I told you so,” but since my adolescence, I predicted that big money in government would soon ruin this country.
