"It is safe, and that is why we determined that we can fly with what we have.”

This is Boeing we're talking about. It's about as safe as a billionaires homemade submarine.

Memo to the media: Don't write about corporations suddenly lowering prices without mentioning how their profits have been skyrocketing or their tax bills have been shrinking. They could have kept prices lower all along. They chose note to. Give people the full picture.

Classic "raise the price before you put it on sale". I don't know how people continue to be fooled by this scheme.

50 billionaire families have spent $600 million+ on the 2024 elections, which is .06% of their total wealth.

The equivalent donation for an avg household would be ~$100.

This means 50 billionaires have the political-spending capacity of 6 million American families.

Oligarchy.

But their donations mean that their wealth will be protected once their pets are elected!

Sounds like a great investment in corporate capitalism, maintaining the wealth gap and breaking the economy.

I still hear people arguing that prosecuting a former president sets a “dangerous precedent.”

The truly dangerous precedent would be to establish that presidents are above the law.

It's such a ridiculous argument. If they're playing the violence card, wait until you see what happens if he doesn't get prosecuted!
