Corporations are too big to stop now and they are, in a myriad of ways killing us all. Climate is the number one place, our home. As we attempt to save it and the animals, bees and trees we really really like and need, the planet is bombing daily. Big ones. Ignoring the precious side of life. Diminishing our ability to make up losses, depressingly slipping past us through grasping but weakened hands. The will to survive is strong and who is stronger?
A corporation is a legal entity created by individuals, stockholders, or shareholders, with the purpose of operating for profit. Corporations are allowed to enter into contracts, sue and be sued, own assets, remit federal and state taxes, and borrow money from financial institutions.
Which brings us to The NY Times and how they “have slipped”. Reporting headlines that chip at Biden and float Trump, not as the swollen tick of hatred he’s become but as a viable candidate to lead the country and the world in increasingly less free or comfortable times.
Everyday we are asked to choose. Well, we chose Biden yesterday. But what about today? ? ? Have a slice of Trump? Just a tiny bite, you’ll be surprised…. Nah, but thanks for my daily gas-lite. People are seeing it, commenting on it all and complaints aren’t moving the needle like it did. Cutting subscriptions isn’t useful as it was. Corps don’t make all their money by sales. Some don’t really ‘need’ to be profitable. Great.
Most people understand the stakes, how we react is the answer of where we go from here.
Oh, but baby boomers are nearly gone and those orders for more flags, Christmas lights, socks and other items that never degrade in landfills will fulfill themselves? We need babies. Oh, hell, I don’t care where you get them from just get me more babies. Nah, I’m not eating them, the corporations are.
So, abortion off the table for practically speaking, everyone for now and contraceptives thought to be handed in another systematic ban. Women are being forced to breed never mind the output. A child neglected by the state through poorer education and perhaps a burden to the family too isn’t a way to build a future for the country. And how many jobs to support the family? For many it used to be four part time jobs. The future planned by red states is a backward turn of society, as parents can’t wait for the kids to be old enough to “help out”.
Trump’s new RedTieCorporation with the TM, will fix it all. Branding genius. All the best people.
Oh, Bernie Kerik! Was acting Minister of interior (Iraq) for you know who and more at home as Police Commissioner of NYC. Maybe that’s how NY became the big fail (sarcasm alert) Trump says it’s become, anyway, convicted felon is on his resume along with Trump pardon, hmmmm. How red his tie, this and perhaps every day a red tie day forever, nice pardon thanks. And for those who remember, a poke in the eye to Ross Perot Sr. and his skinny black tie corporate notions. Nothing Donald does is original.
Have they bought the con? The smoke and sunshine pushed by the Times, and others do they understand and believe it or more stenographers for Leonard Leo? Do they know it or is the trash so filtered and pushed through minds of those treading water to balance bills and mortgage and children and status and vacation and facials, emotional trauma disease and loneliness. Maybe ivermectin could really work, I mean I don’t have time for Covid my bills.
A waving man from the water isn’t saying hello. They are a man drowning.
*** Edited as details changed… The trial for our sanity will not be concluding this week as projected. Trial is projected to finish tomorrow, Tuesday. The Memorial Day weekend will be celebrated and when the break is done, closing arguments will lead the jury to their deliberations without an interruption. Looking to Tuesday after the holiday.
Thanks for being here. I wouldn’t be here without you.
