Lalo Alcaraz for July 12, 2021

Liberals are racist. Also, water is wet.

he made it he can spend it anyway he wants

Please do not feed the usual contingent of trolls here. This is a serious question on the basic mal-distribution of wealth, and doesn’t need to be knocked down by those who have no empathy or social conscience.

Good comment, Lalo: just how distorted and jaded out values are.

I am big on going into space. However the kids can be feed too.

See how wonderful the Republican tax policy is? Gazillionaires can spend their millions or billions on jaunts into space. Who needs roads, bridges, parks, affordable housing, and schools? (snark).

Same2Ubuddy — perhaps we are racist. But we try to acknowledge and fix it, unlike you. The Trumpublican plan is to drive America to de facto slavery (equal opportunity, you won’t necessarily have to be a person of color) and continue to punish the victims. Be proud!

Although there might be what some people consider “better uses” for money, in the U.S. we allow people to spend their own money as they want (as long as they don’t break laws in the process). If one wants rich people to spend their money in certain ways, one will have much better success convincing the rich to do so by using charm rather than guilt trips…

Donald Trump takes credit for space race of billionaires Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk

“Whitey” paid his own money to fly in suborbit, you know.

There is little relationship to the two events unless we ask about the logical consequences of the current tax system and the extreme reluctance of one pollical party to changes.

Republicans are racist. They prove it every time they open their mouths.

Maureen Dowd/NYT, had an interview with Bernie Sanders — he mentioned this very thing, Lalo. I also believe folks should do what they want with their money, just wish there was a little more compassion for the poor/homeless.

Crude strip today.

This comes from 50 years ago. It’s not new, it’s just gotten worse. Bilk-ionaires taking joyride while people need help not a handout, help.

Explore space – It creates jobs. It bolsters economies. It brings us knowledge and new technology. But don’t forget that people right here on earth are struggling. Think of them first, then explore space. But this latest crap is a slap in the face from rich people just saying that they are so much better than everyone else. Remember too that many of them are paying less in taxes than you are and this is giving them tax breaks and government funds. This is not exploration – its a joyride.

How many tons of fuel did the clown burn? Just to amuse himself for a few minutes.

Capitalism 101: The laborers make it; the capitalist takes the profits.

This is Pulitzer worthy work. Well done.

Gil Scott-Heron would be proud.

People should be reducing the number of commercial plane flights and now this is going to add more pollution into the atmosphere? Humanity is heading over a cliff like lemmings and people are worried about wealth distribution?

So much to explain…why we let billionaires’ vacation in space when our country is burning because of climate change; why we sent troops to Iraq when the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia; why the Supreme Court decided corporations were people; etc.

Here’s a thought. If you’re poor maybe you shouldn’t be having children in a world that’s already overpopulated.
