You cannot create a corruption free government. All of history has proven this thoroughly and repeatedly.

The problem is actually rooted in legitimizing the state as the collectivized, monopoly provider of justice and security. That power is not--and never will--be used as intended. Instead it is sold to the highest bidder to write the legislation to favor them.

Expect greed and corruption. They are immutable facts of life. They will never be eliminated. They will never be effectively banned. They are inherent to human nature. Some of us are better at containing them than others, but they are always there. Those who become the most wealthy or powerful likely got there by being more greedy and/or by being better at being corrupt. That points directly at _both_ the Fortune 500 _and_ at politicians.

April 7, 2025 @ 11:44 (!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEELAN❣️❣️❣️ And for the rest of my family & friends, good morning❣️ Well I've been up for a few hours, spending time with my Petey before he left as he will be gone all day; also sorted the laundry because that will be what I am accomplishing today and tomorrow (7-8 loads), got today's meat - for me and for the dog food I need to make - out of the freezer to thaw, and I'm ready to face the day! Did today's morning Ain't That The Truth! and Daily Video updates of course...I probably won't be doing any meme posts today since I have loads of photos and videos from the weekend that I want to share, and that takes a lot of time. Haven't been to my happy place yet either; it's called The Good Morning Brigade, and by the time I get there it will no longer be morning unless I go NOW so I will see you later, have a magnificent Monday❣️✝️🎹🐕‍🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿😆🚌❤️

Poor #Elon. He wants to know why people hate him so much!

Well....

Dear Elon,

Can't speak of others, but I hate you because you're a narcissistic evil man-child that would rather use your money to cause harm than to use it for good.

That, and you completely disowned your trans daughter. What kind of parent *does that?*

Also, you're a fucking Nazi.

If those aren't good enough reasons to hate your fat ass then I don't know what is.

Signed,

Can't wait 'til you go to Mars

Global governance institutions assume the right to issue orders to independent, national governments around the world — but since President Donald Trump began reasserting America’s autonomy, one international organization is finding it hard to pay its bills.
washingtonstand.com/news/we-wa…

When President Trump coined the phrase “one, big, beautiful bill” to describe his legislative strategy, there’s one word he left out: “complicated.” For House and Senate leaders, it’s been a two-month dance just to get on the same page about the broad strokes of a plan to implement Trump’s agenda. It’s like writing the rules for a game you haven’t even played yet.

After a few unexpected days off, the House is back in D.C. to resolve a family feud that’s grabbed headlines from coast to coast. For Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), the spat was an unfortunate return to normal after weeks of surprising unity. And while it was inevitable that the harmonious spell Donald Trump cast over Republicans would break at some point, most people just didn’t expect it to be over something as universally despised as proxy voting.

Critics of President Trump’s April 2, 2025, executive order on tariffs argue that the policy lacks clarity or direction. Yet the order is anything but vague. In fact, it offers one of the most detailed diagnoses of America’s structural trade imbalances in decades—backed by specific data, a national security framework, and a roadmap for restoring fairness in global trade.

My daughter is supposed to lift weights as part of her re-hab from her injury and since she endured severe trauma at 13, she has trouble regulating her mood. Working out is very helpful for this.
I am supposed to lift weights for my legs. It will supposedly help keep me out of a wheel chair. Neither of us is a big fan of going to a gym, so I decided to set up a workout space in our basement. I ordered a rubber floor, purchased a weight machine and a stationary bike and am shopping 1/?

I've been thinking a lot about the #handsoff #protest and its reception, especially in #nyc

There was an insane turnout of over 100k people there. But it seemed different from other marches for a few reasons:

- they had mandatory breaks to let traffic through at each street (everyone was frequently halted to prioritize non-emergency traffic)

- at the end of the march, staffers were telling everyone to "scatter and go home, the demonstration is over"

- 1/1000 LEO to demonstrator ratio

The whole thing felt very... Convenient? And non-disruptive? And curated? On my walk home it felt more like I had just walked the St. Patrick's Day parade rather than a march against fascism.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see very little news coverage of it. At the end of day, did a lot of people convene at a similar location and then leave?

I used to feel strongly that protestors shouldn't disrupt "regular folks" lives, but was this over optimized to be too easily ignored?

I fear that there is always a tug of war between demonstrations like these: where one side is looking to either disrupt and the other to maintain the status quo. It's easy for me to say this just as an attendant, but I fear the organizers were victims of their own success in following the rules for a march that was convenient for everyone

I can't help but think about recent student protests here that have spurred on many calls to action, where there was a 2/1 LEO to protestor ratio.

The Revolutionary Impact of Scrubbing Machines on Commercial Cleaning Standards


I. Redefining Professional Cleanliness in the Modern Business Landscape

"The jewelry store's insurance company is refusing to cover the store's losses. The daughter explained the store's insurance policy was recently sold by the prior insurance company to a new insurance company. Unknown to the family, the new policy did not cover theft or property damage committed by a third party. The family was not aware of the change, and its attorney hired to examine such details was still in the process of looking over the new policy when the latest burglary occurred."
