Economist Robert Reich recently articulated two types of contemporary societies: 1) Social control 2) Social investment Social control societies require heavy investment in policing, surveillance, incarceration, immigration enforcement, etc., to control society – using fear to pave to way for racism and oppression of minorities – while the latter deals with using resources for healthcare, […]
Several years ago a pivotal study by Professors Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page looked at more than 20 years’ worth of data to answer one simple question: does Congress represent the will of the people? To no one’s shock, the answer was a resounding NO. Their study, Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, […]
Any logical, critically thinking human being must draw the conclusion that Donald tRump wants as many people to die from coronavirus as possible. Based on the current kakistocracy’s refusal to issue any nation-wide directives to help prevent the spread of the virus – let alone track it or trace it – we must come to […]
Greetings! Speaking on behalf of your rulers, thank you for at least trying. But try as you might, you just can’t win.

There is one thing I really hate: hypocrisy. Former president Barack Obama is a fine one to talk about protests. Obama recently spoke at an event sponsored by the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, a program of the Obama Foundation, called Re-imagining Policing in the Wake of Continued Police Violence. Obama said shit like, “I hope […]
The country is dangerously unprepared to fight the spread of COVID-19 as the morons flock to beaches, parks, bars and restaurants with minimal protection and no federal guidance for the Memorial Day holiday.
