Side Stepping the System
I don't think we need to accept the oligarchs' neofeudal system. No doubt it will impact us all, but there are approaches to avoid the global power grab and have a full and meaningful life. There are many paths and today we'll look at a few.
Is Clinton now the Dem's Presidential hope, or just a strategy to get people to like Biden more?
Submitted by zed2 on Sat, 01/15/2022 - 11:59amAfter the horrible battles of 2016, and 2020, it seems as if things could not become worse, but now they are, with Hillary Clinton being put forward much to many's disgust.
I think the Democratic leadership may be so terrified of winning they are deliberately trying to lose in 2024, or maybe they are trying to make people more open to Biden by making it clear that iof we dont like him, we will get another HRC candidacy. I think this is quite possible, maybe even likely.

Being poor in America is an unforgivable crime that deserves no sympathy
Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 01/14/2022 - 1:54pmWhen Congress reformed welfare in 1996, states were allowed almost total discretion over how to use federal funding for the poor. Clinton proudly declared that welfare as we knew it had ended. He was more right than anyone could have guessed.
Open Thread - 01-14-22 - Can't Find My Way Home
Submitted by JtC on Fri, 01/14/2022 - 8:06amAs it looks more likely every year that some event, or confluence of events, may very well in the not so distant future end civilization at the least, and mankind itself at the most. Let us pre-guess future historians, if there will be such a thing, and consider the seminal catalytic event or events that triggered the spiral leading to the downfall of species Homo sapiens sapiens.
