@georgetakei I had to explain to a neighbor what "A political 3rd Rail" meant. She had no concept of an electrified subway train. We were discussing topics she could use for her current events discussion group.

"If Trump and Musk go after the political 3rd rail of Social Security, would that increase the marketability of my #WHATWOULDLUIGDO t-shirt in states like Florida and Arizona? Design advise: put a guillotine in the background? How about an ESSO station with a lamp post?"

She didn't get the Esso station reference, but not everyone like to collect fun facts about dictator's demises.

@georgetakei the biggest Ponzi scheme in the USA was #usaid and the second biggest is the funding of #israel. Lining corporate farming and military suppliers. With #trump and #musk it is like watching the blind leading the blind.

When he calls social security scheme a โ€˜ponzi schemeโ€™ he is ignoring that giving to these people funnels money to small local businesses as apposed to the one he is in which is the government outsources federal services to people like him.

@georgetakei Itโ€™s not insane. Itโ€™s deliberate. When people think about โ€œevilโ€, they think about world domination & moustache-twirling. Thatโ€™s not a kind of evil that actually exists.

This is. This is evil. This is what it is. This is what it looks like. This is what it does.
