This is called plutocracy. The year 1973 is mentioned in the article as marking the beginning of this plutocratic takeover. That was the year in the US when rising real-estate property values began an acceleration. In the 1950s, if you had a job after high school, you could afford to buy a house.
It’s a feature, not a bug?
I gave up TV somewhere around 2011, so wasn’t aware of “Vought International” of The Boys. Sorry.
Isn’t it interesting we don’t read much about him in the news? Author of a section of Project 2025, and director of the US Office of Management and Budget. “Follow the money”?
Reminds of the New Testament and Jesus Christ. Preach the New Testament, practice the Old Testament. Same as it ever was.
Can we get back to talking about Epstein?
The letter, entered by Senators Whitehouse and Reed of Rhode Island on April 30, represents an unusually direct intervention by medical experts spanning conservative and liberal ideologies, multiple religions, and diverse backgrounds. The press release announcing this action was published Tuesday night (May 5).
It’s rare to read that in published form. A potential problem is that it may be useful to someone near Trump for him to remain there. Perhaps Vance, perhaps Vought, perhaps someone else, or a group of them. I don’t believe Trump is making these continually bad and harmful decisions on his own. “The power behind the throne.”
Beating down on kids is so human.
There are a lot of foreign corporations operating in the US. Is this push for denaturalization only against humans?
I understand the article topic is enforced sanctions on third parties. That however was not quite what I was getting at, as my question was about two parties, a buyer and a seller: an atheist entity and a religious entity. Also, I note you didn’t answer my question about the source of your atheism quote.
Atheism is when you accept collective punishment of religious people
What is the source of your quote? Refusing to buy something from a seller is punishment of the seller?
It’s mildly fascinating that an officially atheist country is willing to make big purchases from a theocracy.
Why have human slaves or serfs if robots do everything a human does with fewer mistakes, and no need for sleep or recreation?
Perhaps China has the right idea. AI cannot replace human jobs. Or perhaps government could make Basic income a perpetual reality?
Article moves from talking about anti-woke being racist, to the US military not refusing illegal orders and the danger of nuclear weapon use. Scary times when the right-wing gets near unanimous control (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) of the levers of US government power.
These compounds, prized for their potential health benefits, were hidden among a rich mix of plant chemicals that vary dramatically even between just a few strains.
There’s at least part of the motive for US Congress to have outlawed cannabis seeds. It seems they want certain strains for Big Pharma drugs.

The GOP congress is spineless. Their wills are molded entirely by Trump. GOP = Trump. Remember Mini-Me? Trump has little mini-Trumps infesting congress. Vote accordingly. A vote for the GOP = a vote for Trump.
Preach the New Testament, while practicing the Old.
Per the article, Roberts said,
Shouldn’t he have said We’re simply not part of the political process.?
