Nobody in the UK is going to stand up to American Social Media because we're a silly little country with no clout that nobody listens to.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

A stock market drop is concerning, but it's not the most important economic measure.

93% of stocks are owned by the richest 10% of Americans.

They contributed $26B to Social Security, which they can't benefit from.
