15. Yeah. Seems like every day we lose a little something.

We like to think of ourselves as being 'safe' or somehow 'separated' from such horror, but thanks in large part to decades of Republican-corporate corruption, we see that we're not after all. Just another part of the world whose people are living in end-stage capitalism - a system that is simply not, and has never really been, structured for our benefit.

Yesterday, I was thinking about Biden entering the Oval Office as president the first time this coming January. In my minds eye, he stood in the middle of the room and took it in, then sat down at the Resolute Desk, put his head in his hands and wept at the devastation.

I sincerely wish he and all the rest of the Democrats well in fixing this horror the Republicans, the Chicago School of Economics and corporate propaganda have wrought upon us.

An aside...it is ironic to me that Trump is trying to make it so the federal government can once again execute people. Because I'm thinking he may well find himself on trial for his life after he's out of office.

Stay safe!
