No, it’s about oil assets seized by Maduro! No, it’s about drugs! No, it’s about freedom!

Or the tracking on a VCR.

We don’t need to go high anymore. We need to go low enough to cut the base out from under them.

I think it’s far more the former than the latter. More like expecting motorcyclists to die and not deserving.

Third panel is when both women and men have had so much surgery they look like caricatures of attractiveness. They push themselves into the “uncanny valley.”

You seem to think I implied he would do a good job. Not a chance. He’ll wreck things but still take all the profits.

Run Venezuela?

Trump will install whatever corporate suck-ups bribe him to pillage any value Venezuela has. From oil to beachfront property. Then he’ll put in a puppet leader in the “transition.”

Four aspirin. Subscribing to that conservative feels-before-reals concept of “if a little isn’t doing the job, double and triple down and do it harder.”

Trump does something stupid.

Nah. Too easy.

Trump is no longer in office. Death, mental incapacity, whatever. There. That’s my guess.

So we can ignore the rest…?

Once you get rich enough you pretty much don’t have a choice. Your investment portfolio is based on companies making the line go up. That line goes up because they get tax breaks from trump, they cut or suppress employee wages and benefits, they enshittify, they get AI and fire people, etc. In her case there’s also the absurd ticket prices and fees people have to pay to see her concerts. You cannot be a billionaire with clean hands, you’re skipping out on taxes, nobody “earns” a billion dollars.

There aren’t any good billionaires. They get rich leeching off everyone else’s work, suppressing wages and compensation, and avoiding taxes on their insane wealth. On top of that, a seemingly normal person is likely to become a complete PoS when they no longer have to face any consequences for being a PoS because of their wealth.

My favorite tech support solution: you must completely destroy everything you’re trying to save in order to solve the problem you’re having.

Individuals having the ability to operate private space programs is insane.

It comes from rich people starting on third base telling others they aren’t working hard enough.

I’ve been hearing about re-growing teeth for 20 years. Still nothing. It’s right up there with nuclear fusion.

I watched it happen because I saw it happening and read the (too few) news reports that pointed out that it was indeed happening.

But it’s like climate change. It seems to go in one ear and out the other for the vast majority of the population.

Now do “chance of dying of any cause under the age of 20” per continent.

Tesla whined about it citing all the crap they’d have to work around in their design in order to make a normal mechanical linkage. Funny how no other upper tier manufacturer has trouble with all the power windows and window power pre-offsetting for interference fits. They manage to have mechanical linkages.

Late to the party? A little slow? Where have you been, author?
