Musical Interlude: Back in the 90s, I happened upon a CD of cabaret songs from Weimar Berlin. I loved it, found it witty and fun, but also slightly alarming at how little things had changed. And now, thirty years later, still things haven't changed much. Here's a song as relevant today as it was a century ago.
"It's All A Swindle," performed by Ute Lemper.

People say it doesn't exist
`Cause no one would like to admit
That there is a city underground
Where people live everyday
Off the waste and decay
Off the discards of their fellow man
Her in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government relief
I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me
Tracy Chapman, "Subcity", 1989
From 2018 #StillRelevant
"But these grinning men were someone’s brother, son, husband, father. They were human beings, people who took immense pleasure in the utter cruelty of torturing others to death—and were so proud of doing so that they posed for photographs with their handiwork... Their cruelty made them feel good, it made them feel proud, it made them feel happy. And it made them feel closer to one another."

“Two things are infinite: the universe, and human stupidity. And I’m not sure about the universe.”
