Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

In other uplifting news, the Doomsday Clock is now set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. Sigh.

"In every area, we have failed to take the steps that are necessary to reduce risks, and there are new developments in every area that make the risks greater," Steve Fetter said.

Sinead O'Connor - War (Legendas Em Português)
Sinead O'Connor - War (Legendas Em Português) YouTube video by ROLLANDOROCHA

What I'm listening to today: "War"

Sinead O'Connor covering Bob Marley, stripped down, sharpened, into something like a weapon. This ran live on TV and all anyone talked about was the career-ending final seconds. No one understood why she did it. Child abuse? Absurd
