  • Of course this is death by a thousand cuts. For me a lot of blame goes to the Reagan administration. They really set up the next 40 yrs plus with trickle down economics. It really hammered home that government is for profit of corporations, not a non-profit service for the people. Citizens United vs FEC (1988) also opened the flood gates to money in politics with no recourse by the public. It’s been a downhill from there in my opinion.


  • As an American living in Seattle area. Please invade Washington, so we can succeed it to you and join your fight. The new way of doing things here is to lie things into existence so we have a good shot at a non violent succession. All we have to say is Vancouver North and South are actually part of the same territory and use a sharpie to circle them on a map. Worth a shot at least. Assuming you would have us that is, please take us!

    Better or worse could be argued, but they are not the same. I would have to find the source, but reading has a different retention process and neural response in the brain. When you read, you live the experience as your brain creates the characters/imagery/emotions/voices… etc. You are creating more of the story in your head. You also get better at reading as you do it more, not quite the same skill training as listening.
