If Republicans think people aren't going back to work because they're getting too much pay in unemployment (Ali Velshi had the economist for the AFL-CIO on tonight, and he pointed out that even last year when people were getting $600/week more, it had no effect on their desire to go back to work), perhaps the Republicans might consider that most jobs in America today are shit jobs, the way they're managed, the atmosphere promoted in too many companies.

As to the Republican plans for 2024, anyone who thinks that somehow civil war got taken off the table with Biden's election, who doesn't think it's an even bet regardless of the election outcome, that a civil war could break out, probably still believes in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy.

The only thing that's going to derail what they're trying to do is the death of Trump. That's because all the would-be Trumpies just aren't evil enough to do what he does. It took the death of Hitler to put the final nail in the Nazi coffin, because none of the attendant gargoyles were able to be Chief Gargoyle like he could..

(1) Sometimes Heather writes something that sounds the alarm.

(2) Sometimes Heather writes something to remind us that the government is us, so raise our voices to make them heard.

(3) Sometimes Heather writes something that makes us feel like everything is going to be okay.

(1) + (2) = (3)

With tonight's LFAA as another alarm, leave a Reply if you are interested in joining fellow HCR Substackers in making our voices heard in service of democracy.
