Dad of two awesome kiddos. Lucky to be married to my best friend. Interested in interesting things: infosec, Linux, organized labor, Rick & Morty, The Orville, CBS' Ghosts (BBC's version is also acceptable), cord cutting before it was cool (since 2012), Yankees, NY Giants. An ally to all underdogs & the downtrodden, American by birth but citizen of the world by choice, progressive social democrat.
The same people who complain about helicopter parenting saying "back in my day we forced to be outside until the street lights came on" complain about kids without adult supervision saying "where are their parents".
What would you say if you saw it in another country?

Systemic white supremacy alive & well.

In a world of Scott Adams, be a Charles Schulz.

Or

Brag about record profits

Corporations in the US: Obviously both.

GOP State Rep. Eastman argued that the death of children from abuse would be economical beneficial for government services over a lifetime. So an elected GOP doing 'back of the napkin' calculation on the value of a life, and can't see the similarities of those in 1930s Germany doing calculations of prisoner labor and the benefits to the state to force "useless eaters" to work or be liquidated.
