    I think the problem there is lead pipes and old infrastructure that hasn’t been replaced… half assed renovations which causes changes in pressure and acidity etc and cause the problems with the lead being released.

  • The system was created and developed by rich folks to ensure that rich folks continued to accumulate more and more wealth. Economists seem to me to be just working backwards from that point without ever mentioning it.

    We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.

    Referring to the USA of course.

  • I knew there were memes of him with a distorted face, but I still don’t know why. Apparently his views on some topics are fairly racist, sexist, homophobic, in general I think…

    I probably agree with the dude on one or two issues but I’m pretty sure he was just another grifter for the republicans. No one deserves to die on the internet like that I guess, he did say some people had to die for second amendment freedoms though I have no clue
