This is driving me nuts. If you tax an essential like energy or gas in order to change behaviour, firstly, people do not like change. So those who can afford to keep going, will pay & keep going. Meanwhile you've got a much larger group of people in society who are too poor to have choices. So they will also keep going. But now they are poorer or destitute, and that has a huge cost to society. And "all the economists" agree this is the way to go? Even Jon didn't pick up how stupid this is.

Please stop with comparing everything to your freaking balls, dude. Enough with saying countries or organizations have been "castrated" or "neutered." You are part of the problematic patriarchy if those are the only ways you can think of to describe powerlessness.

I'm not saying we need a Kronkite. Bias cannot be eradicated. This really was exacerbated with 9/11 24 hour. I remember my kiddo asking to change the channel. It was sobering.

I slogged through this entire interview - felt awkward and made it hard to follow.

Mr Stewart referred to people who are here undocumented as illegal immigrants. if all they have done is enter the country without documentation, but they have not done anything criminal. Entering the country without documentation is only a civil act handled as a civil situation. It is not a crime, which is why they are deported and not incarcerated in our prisons.

Fuck the death penalty. I want them to rot from old age with semi shitty health care while I get to maybe send them disturbing letters

Pussues who want to send their kids to college at any cost. Who can justify this? White men and women who obey them.
