The way our government handles money, taxes is theft.

would be interesting to see a corporation structure their affairs so as to minimize their taxes.
When they have profits, they hire more R&D people.
Pay their people in kind, e.g. real estate investment trusts, or stock options.
What stage of Capitalism is this?

You speak like someone who was trained to believe that you too may
one day become a billionaire. I wish you the very best with that if it
is your desire, but sure wish you could do a little better than to repeat
their speaking points.
Hope you have a terrific evening.
The mRNA vaccine revolution is just beginning
mRNA brought us a Covid-19 vaccine in record speed. Next it could tackle flu, malaria or HIV

Most would refer to it as a url, but you can
call it what ever you like.

Was born on a government facility and will go to one when my days are done.
Those who I have loved and cared for most have served it well, and I do think
highly of our fine government myself.
I would suggest that we are all highly dependant upon our government,
which is in fact each of us ...
I do realise that you feel differently. Have a good evening also.
Fairport Convention - Matty Groves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1it7BP5PckI
A holiday, a holiday
And the first one of the year
Lord Donald's wife came into the church
The gospel for to hear
And when the meeting, it was done
She cast her eyes about
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Walking in the crowd
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves
Come home with me tonight
Come home with me, little Matty Groves
And sleep with me 'til light"
"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home
And sleep with you tonight
By the rings on your fingers
I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife"
"But if I am Lord Donald's wife
Lord Donald's not at home
He is out in the far cornfields
Bringing the yearlings home"
And a servant who was standing by
And hearing what was said
He swore Lord Donald he would know
Before the sun would set
And in his hurry to carry the news
He bent his breast and ran
And when he came to the broad mill stream
He took off his shoes and he swam
Little Matty Groves, he lay down
And took a little sleep
When he awoke, Lord Donald
Was standing at his feet
Saying, "How do you like my feather bed
And how do you like my sheet?
How do you like my lady
Who lies in your arms asleep?"
"Oh well, I like your feather bed
And well, I like your sheets
But better I like your lady gay
Who lies in my arms asleep"
"Well, get up, get up", Lord Donald cried
"Get up as quick as you can
It'll never be said in fair England
I slew a naked man"
"Oh, I can't get up, I won't get up
I can't get up for my life
For you have two long beaten swords
And I not a pocket knife"
"Well, it's true I have two beaten swords
And they cost me deep in the purse
But you will have the better of them
And I will have the worse"
"And you will strike the very first blow
And strike it like a man
I will strike the very next blow
And I'll kill you if I can"
So Matty struck the very first blow
And he hurt Lord Donald sore
Lord Donald struck the very next blow
And Matty struck no more
And then Lord Donald he took his wife
And he sat her on his knee
Saying, "Who do you like the best of us
Matty Groves or me?"
And then up spoke his own dear wife
Never heard to speak so free
"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips
Than you or your finery"
Lord Donald, he jumped up
And loudly he did bawl
He struck his wife right through the heart
And pinned her against the wall
"A grave, a grave", Lord Donald cried
"To put these lovers in
But bury my lady at the top
For she was of noble kin"

Have a difficult time thinking those who would use such a description of a government could have much care for it.
Always known with certainty that those who serve well are indeed worthy of respect and admiration and affection.
Govt people worthy of respect and admiration…lol
the people who run our government are sociopathic butchers… who order the murder and enslavement of human beings on a daily basis.
my contempt and disdain for these people is without end.
pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before the fall
Eight States Are Seeding Clouds to Overcome Megadrought
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...e-megadrought/
Drought is here to stay in the Western U.S. How will states adapt?
Trees are dying. Riverbeds are empty. Lake Mead's water level dropped to its lowest point in history, and Utah's governor asked residents to pray for rain.
Drought "is not a temporary condition we can expect to go away, but rather something we have to deal with," one expert said.
