@Probertd8 You mean the Joe Biden who's presiding under a much improved, very good economy, has kicked ass in a few other ways, and despite some obvious drawbacks, won easily last time? Yes.

Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25.

This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

@Rasta I have a very broad and eclectic taste in music…which doesn’t include contemporary country western.

Donald Trump isn’t being politically targeted.

He’s a lifelong criminal who avoided prosecution by donating to and co-opting prosecutors.

Now he’s finally run into prosecutors he couldn’t buy off.

@Rasta Damn…I sing K-k-k-Katie almost every day, although I change the words a bit. We have a pool robot that skims the surface, and it’s branded Betta, so we call it Betty. Which makes me sing B-b-b-Betty, b-b-b-beautiful Betty! You’re the only one that I’d let clean my pool! …and so on.

@Ronnie Dang. I haven’t given the first thought to Stage Manager. I should try it and see how it is in iPadOS17.
