The stupidest thing about Trump is that he could have extorted billions of dollars out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day. Even Team Rocket could have figured that out.

Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, 'middle class' meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 "middle class" was two college jobs to support the household.

Does this mean that by voting Republican we can secure abortion rights? The answer is no.

Actually, by your own post, in Alaska it does.

I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.

Maybe my favorite is the 'mini VHS recorders' from Neuromancer.

Greed. A sane person will walk away from working once they have enough saved to comfortably retire.

$100 million can let you live comfortably forever, but there are plenty of people who want that much every year.

Those are the folks who become 'leaders.'
