So, you are going to lose money on this?

What is naive is thinking that this flash in the pan is anything other than that.

We have so lost the ability to think in the long term. And, that was on purpose. We were fed a bunch of crap to believe that our time is too precious to pay attention to anything because we have things to do! (Never mind that the thing we need to do is pay attention to the long game being played by the rethugs.)

Also, I found this great line while reading the article.

MAGA is a societal illness, one that America itself helped cultivate by prioritizing greed and self-interest over collective responsibility, shared reality and the basic common good.


Amazing, how we can complain about it, but refuse to accept that our very way of life created and sustains it.

Who knows, maybe I am just expecting too much from my fellow human being.

Sadly, It wouldn't be the first time.

Can you imagine the swamp of his emotional life? I still can't get around what he did to those Sandy Hook parents.
