13. "The debt"
Thu Feb 5, 2026, 03:28 AM
Thursday

Oh, the debt that was incurred to give the 1% tax cuts?
I started work at 14. I'm done. I literally cannot work any more because I have long covid. And I have long covid, almost certainly, because these reich-wing psychopaths fed their gullible fellow travellers the line that covid was no big deal.
More than three decades ago I asked my oldest cousin why he and his wife didn't have kids. He told me that he didn't want to breed more servants for rich people. Every year that I have aged I realize more and more how correct he was.
