I wish folks would stop talking about the 25th amendment as a recourse. Unless the guy’s head falls off his shoulders in public, I doubt those who need to execute it would do so. Even then, I doubt it, instead knocking each other over to put it back on again. #Politics

Humans do evil things to each other. We pretend other and hope to change that. We largely fail.

The root of most of the world's problems are simple.

EITHER:
There's a pile of $$ over there and I want it.

OR:
I made or have a pile of $$. I want more and no one else can have it.

We’ve never been good at heeding warnings whether they come from Surgeon Generals, Terms of Service, or our parents. We’re certainly not that adept at being able to separate fact from fiction, regardless of how it’s created.
