I'm a Mac techie who is socially, environmentally and technically aware of issues. I'm an avid bicyclist as well as a firm believer in public & mass transit.

That no one died in the riverboat collision in New Orleans today isn't a "miracle," as Markwayne Mullin just claimed. It is the result of the diligence and aptitude of the human rescuers and the determination of the human passengers.

Imagine being Jared Kushner and asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, only to see Ukraine continue its campaign against the very infrastructure helping to finance Russia's war. =============

The people who were made rich by this country once gave back in thanks. My town was one of many that had a library built through philanthropy. Now the rich hoard wealth, buy elections, and exploit the very people that do the work to generate their fortunes.
