Socialism and censorship seem to be issues that many readers of this blog value. We live next to a socialist country that they haven’t moved to, and there are no clear rules for the censorship of citizen’s speech, other than that their reasons are arbitrary.
Hypocrisy seems to be the word of the day:
hypocrisy hy·poc·ri·sy /həˈpäkrəsē/
noun
the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Well, l’ll have you know, Mr. Smarty Pants, that the reason why l gave up eating bats is because almost half of the time the wings would get caught up in my teeth, which was rather uncomfortable. And everyone knows by now that it’s damn near impossible to find the appropriate beverage when consuming canine. Take this evening’s dinner, for example: should l go with the Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauilliac Red Bourdeaux or perhaps the slightly more simplistic Chateau Lafite Rothschild – Pauillac to go with my generous helping of lightly pan – seared Lassie??? #hypocrisyisbetterthanbeinganangrilycrazyguy.

Baijiu is the traditional Chinese alcohol and the main alcoholic beverage in people’s daily life, per Google. The foreign press corp over there named it, Janitor in a Drum. Goes great with all mammals and kills viruses and bacteria, too.

Angrily crazy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It all depends on the delivery. Now we have a whole new meaning of bat shit crazy.

What kind of world will emerge from the pandemic if it continues for months? If you could hit a reset button for our current neoliberal world system, what would you want to see pop out?
I would be happy to see a world with no billionaires, no hedge funds, and no such thing as a “derivative.” That would be a start.

How would your life be better if all those disappeared tomorrow morning?
My guess is your world would change not a single bit.
People act as if billionaires are sucking up all the oxygen. There’s plenty of oxygen, some people just think they deserve the same amount everyone else gets but without having to do anything for it.
As for derivatives, my guess is you are not an investor of that scale, so why do you care? Might as well be against the lottery, too, JellyK

My life and yours would be better because we wouldn’t have to cover their bad bets with our common made up fiat money. 🙂

There’s no reason to bother visiting El Paso Speak on Saturday anymore. One or two frickin idiots have decided to ruin things for the rest of us.
