"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.” ― Agent Smith

Agent Smith is wrong, I agree. But it is not capitalism or profit incentive that is the cause. He is wrong, because we can grow and evolve to be better. Capitalism is a means to an end, the end has been the same long before capitalism or Stalin-marxism. A certain subset of people will always abuse power, money does not matter. If the average people can band together and put aside differences, we can grow beyond the old paradigm and cast aside the power corrupted people.

MAGA melts down over Super Bowl halftime performance

I thought Kendrick was very good, and I don't listen to him or very much of that style music. He is amazingly talented and I thought a top tier showman. In the article, Jack Posobic said that he wished it was Creed (like In the 2001 half time) instead. Since this was the Apple Music streaming halftime show, I looked it up. #1 Streamer of last year was Kendrick, I didn't see Creed in the top 50. Also Billboard has Kendrick at #4 all year for Streaming, also no Creed. I know Creed had a big resurgence last year touring, but I was around listing to music in 2001 and we all voted that Creed sucks. I didn't like those people who liked Creed then, and even more so now.

Fearmongering

She should be terrified! That is a DeWalt #2 Phillips bit. All contractors know that DeWalt bits are terrible. The tools are great, but this means that her daycares contractor is incompetent for not using superior Diablo bits.

DOGE cuts Nepal's funds

This whole list amounts to $729 million. That is 20% of the $3.5 billion in additional money we sent in one month to Israel to buy bombs and missiles. You can see what kind of goodwill our government is really interested in "spreading". Maybe the USAID money was well spent and we could do something about the money that is going to death, misery and creating more hate against us? Crazy talk, I know.

Republicans fume after President Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter

I think Biden should use his pardon power for good. I don't have a huge problem with this, but I want him to do something unexpected. Biden should pardon all the married immigrants after his program was recently shot down in court. For those that don't know, Many immigrants are married to US citizens, but cannot achieve citizenship that you normally would be able to do. It hinges on entering the country Illegally, which requires them to leave for up to 10 years before re applying for citizenship. Biden could pardon the "crime" of illegal entry, this removing the INS statue of not allowing them citizenship.
