“And we know because we’re making a killing on fees on these low-no-negative balance accounts, not to mention their credit card debt.”

And I thought I had finally got the kiffness song out of my head…

His latest album is an impressive work of art; a love letter to Puerto Rico.

It might not be everyone’s jam.

Didn’t work for me. Got blocked with a subscribe pop up.

I have a shortcut that automatically gets or creates the links so no biggie - and I prefer the archive links anyway because there’s so much other noise on articles these days.

Here here.

We live in a town that’s one of the richest per capita in my country, thanks in no small part to several billionaire families.

It’s next to one of the poorest where many of the workers are supplied for the billionaires’ businesses.

Gee, I wonder how all that wealth got “created” or “transferred”?

His recent interview on Pod Save America was so off putting, so filled with his own narcissism, that I simply couldn’t finish listening to the interview. There was little of substance there; just a very out of touch very rich guy loving the smell of his own shit.

I agree. Trump is stupid and easily manipulated. He doesn’t need to be compromised in the way people think. He’s a rich kid with a chip on his shoulder trying to impress Daddy types while stuck in the mindset he’s the most (insert some positive trumpism here) - aka Narcissist.

Very easily manipulated when you know what makes him tick.

There’s a line from the Lioness tv series (S01E06) that rings so true about Trump (but also many modern presidents):

Do you know who’s in this meeting?

Don’t you?

I knew who was in the debrief was at Langley.

Well, it won’t be the President.

Wouldn’t be the President anyway. You don’t plan bus routes with the bus driver. You just tell him where to drive.

Edit; wrong comment to reply to sorry.

This is the position people are put in. I don’t see “just doing my job” from low wage workers as a total cop out because I think, in many cases, it translates to “I cannot lose this job.”

I am not American but Americans have been enslaved by having their wellbeing (healthcare) tied to employment (at least to some degree.)

It was a great episode and Americans should be proud that someone like AOC is sticking around and fighting at a time when it feels hopeless. (Am not American).
