Remember in 2019 when that guy stole the Alaska airlines plane, and the airline officials came out after and said “this is a tragedy and an egregious security lapse, but can you believe that guy pulled off a barrel roll in a Q400?”

I mean this with no shred of irony: it is genuinely unacceptable that Canada is just going to let these fires burn all summer and not enough to stop it
D.C. and much of the U.S. will be facing intermittent smoke all summer long — probably until October.
34 very large fires in Quebec are being “monitored” but not combatted. They’ve burned 3.7 million acres.
They won’t die for a while. Every NW wind means more smoke for us.

Raise your hand if you have internalized capitalism and never felt better
how to know you’ve internalized capitalism:
- you determine your worth based on your productivity
- you feel guilty for resting
- your primary concern is to make yourself profitable
- you neglect your health
- you think “hard work” is what brings happiness

Popularism is bad because most good things are initially unpopular. Sorry, but the public is not always right!
During the 1960s, Americans mostly opposed the Apollo project. It never had above 50% approval all decade.
Then we actually did it, and walked on the moon; and a decade later, it became an icon of American achievement.

These aren’t “Autonomous Zones.”
These are Biden Zones.
This is what all of our cities will look like if Joe Biden gets elected.
Biden could stop this liberal madness if he wanted to, but he won’t take on his own Party.
