You Either See Everyone Else As a Human Being Or You Don’t

Mr. Peters was broke six years ago, with less than $400 in his checking account after his contracting business slowed down. Then he responded to a help-wanted ad looking for workers to install solar panels, which were becoming more popular in Tulsa. He now employs 61 workers and has $18 million in annual sales. #CleanEnergy #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy

Today was supposed to be the first time a woman ascended to the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Instead, three of the eight seats on the #Pentagon’s board of most senior military members will be filled with interim officers for the first time in U.S. history due to Sen. Tommy #Tuberville’s blockade on #military promotions.

It’s time to talk about RICO. Specifically, George state RICO law, which is quite different from federal law, is much easier to prove, and carries some eye-popping penalties. And Willis could soon charge Trump & Co with it. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/georgia-rico-law-an-indictment-week?sd=pf

#Theists:
Every #religion claims it’s the true one. They can’t all be true. At most, only one is. More likely, none of them are.
