The app for independent voices
Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
Contrary to what some in the far-right echo chamber have been saying this week, I have not been silenced. I’m right here folks. And I am ready to get started!
This man is the leader of the free world.

You know, even Noah Cross answered the questions Gittes posed -- "Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat, what can you buy that you can't already afford?" with an aspirational if power-mad response: "The future!" I don't think today's billionaires have even that much of a lofty if perverted goal.
It's now simply accumulation for accumulation's sake, coupled with a Revenge of the Nerds passion play on a scale so epic normal people can barely conceive of it. They want more money, and they want to be liked/admired. Because they persist in the belief they can buy the latter, they keep avariciously acquiring more of the former to aid them in that fruitless quest. And we all pay the price.
