Not at all an answer to your question, but a very semi-related tangent.

The last receipt of a US Civil War pension passed away relatively recently. She was a young woman who would regularly help out a local older man, a civil war vet with no kids or family otherwise. Towards the end of his days, he married her so she'd get the benefits of his pension, as things were really really tough.

Oklahoma’s highest criminal court denied the request to toss out Glossip’s execution, claiming a crucial piece of new evidence undermining his conviction “does not create a reasonable probability that the result of the proceeding would have been different.” The state parole board split 2-2 on whether to grant relief to Glossip, with one member recused because his wife helped prosecute Glossip.

Meanwhile, while Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) twice postponed Glossip’s execution, he’s more recently signaled that he intends to defer to the courts’ determination of whether this man should be executed.

Remember folks, the cruelty is the point

Yep, in the face of the infinite growth monster, anything other than exceeding expectations is seen as a failure

SELL THEIR HOUSES TO WHO BEN? FUCKING AQUAMAN?

Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all

Got a friend who was forced to RTO

...except literally every single person they work with is at a different branch. He's doing the exact same things as he was at home, but it forced into the office. Fucking ridiculous doesn't even begin to cover it

Imagine telling someone in 2012 that Romney would end up being one of the (very, very relative) good guys

It's got a snowballs chance in hell of going anywhere, but it's nigh time a wealth tax entered the realm of possibility
