Indecent levels of riches flowing to the rich while school kids are denied lunches sound too Dickensian for reality. What would a Tesla cost if Elon weren't squeezing his board of directors for $56 BLLION? How great would the quality be if he weren't siphoning off funds to shore up X? How are plutocrats in major companies keeping us all from having a more affordable, democratic society?

90% of MAGATS, who only comprise about a third of the general population, are net losers when Republicans govern. Vote for the wolves in sheep's clothing to the detriment of their economic and physical well being. In 2020 70 million lumpen did not vote. They trend Democratic.

Those MAGA are visceral. "Trump hates Dogs" works.

Here's proof. https://rvat.org/

13 million unregistered folk trend Democrat. Register Democrats -- save the world.

Coincidence: 10 pm Pacific time, I have just watched a segment of "Oliver" on TCM. A favorite tale that touched me, a precocious reader; one of only 3 books I read twice as a kid. I am this minute wondering if this is the key to my unlikely morphing to liberal out of the bosom of a thoroughly Bircher upbringing! Maybe "Oliver Twist" stewed in my subconscious to some kind of realization: it has always been a mystery, but when you said "Dickensian," some kind of "trigger." Huh. The power of (soon to be forbidden?) books.
