common sense, and I also try to read and understand things that are difficult for me (like numbers) in a critical fashion. I've gained lots of knowledge, being one who stops by to read and muse about the intelligent individuals we have on DU. Other than this, I doubt I'll contribute much, unless it gets down to kitchen table economics... but there are those of us out here reading everything!

Not so happy about the content, but documenting the situation will help "those who choose not to see" understand that they've been sold into poverty for the rich, not "winners". It was ALWAYS about money. The maga racist, misogynist, anti-immigrant, anti-trans bullshit is just the bait, and cover for the kleptocracy.

They fall for it every time. The rich play them like a Stradivarius.

Of course, I'd have to figure out how to post them to this new DU . . . .

When the downward ratchet gains a few more teeth as the High Maintenance Mussolini waffles looking for love.

I need to find out how to post images too. I am partially mute without them. My former mainstay.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
