What if real freedom isn’t about being able to own unlimited guns…but living in a society where you can go in public without a credible fear of being randomly shot? https://brianklaas.substack.com/p/its-the-guns
It's the Guns.

America is the only rich democracy that features the routine mass slaughter of its citizens with guns. Why does this happen? The data show a really clear picture: It's the guns. Yes, it's that simple.

The torrential California rains this winter brings something we call a Super Bloom & it was one of the most beautiful displays of #wildflowers I have ever seen.

How did the TN shooter have money to purchase so many guns? They are expensive.

If you went to a community college or state university, you did not pay for all of your education. You benefited from tax payer dollars.

In the last 20 years, states started putting less money into advanced education. This is one of the reasons why so many are in debt.

Forgiving those student loans is not giving them a free ride. This is not a zero sum game. Those of us who are not in debt with school loans can still benefit from not having a large percentage of the community beholden to the banks. If those with loans are not paying the banks they can put that money into other things and boost the economy.

The only people benefitting from student loan debt are the banks. The rest of us are not getting screwed by forgiving it. We all gain but not evenly.

Heaven forbid

2024 Republicans Are Coming After Social Security and Medicare, Too - Democrats

Democrats
Why does “more than a half dozen” documents found in Bidens house sound like so many more than 7, or fewer than a dozen?
Both parties have held the debt ceiling hostage as a political tool. For example, in 2011, the Republicans did it. But in 2013, the Republicans did it. On the other hand, this year it is the Republicans who are doing it.
