I think Joe is stepping on very hazardous territory here. At the very least, i thought presidents were taught to leave this kind of radical heresy to their second terms.

I dunno, the bottom has always been the ones to build the economy, not the top. Now, Joe, talk about who deserves the fruits of that labour.
That would be truly rad! It's probably nothing more than coincidence but i can't help noticing this proclamation from Joe comes hot on the heels of Truss reaffirming her party's unbending devotion to the blessed creed. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a direct response tbh.
I suspect it’s more related to the upcoming Congressional elections, when Democrats all pretend to care about the working class.
Ah yeah, makes sense.

I’ll always have fond memories of a high school English teacher—only one of two that I have positive opinions of—who declared that trickle-down economics just means pissing on the poor. Very cool to hear that kind of language from a teacher but also connected to a proper sense of outrage.

Hello,

I sometimes refer to this as trickle-on economics.

A healthy society would shove them both into a volcano and then shoot the volcano into the sun.
According to author Devin Gordon who appeared in the BBC‘s new docuseries, The Elon Musk Show, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO believed that Grimes was his “perfect companion” but not “real”.

“She [Grimes] told me repeatedly that Musk has this theory of her that she’s not real,” Gordon told the TV show via Cosmopolitan. “That she’s a simulation who was created by him and exists in his cerebral cortex as sort of the perfect companion to him. Which sounds a little crazy and maybe even a little creepy, except, she agrees with it. She said she does feel like this simulation which was perfectly created for him.”

Indeed, Americans know that the thing missing from their lives is more days with football.

While the NFL keeps missing the point that not every weekend needs to be "special". It was fine when we only had MNF.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the NFL would like to go to a model of, if not at least one game everyday, then a game every day from Thursday to Monday. And if the networks go for it, it'll happen.

The blackest mark on Rick & Morty's history is using that evil assfuck in an episode.

Agreed, I can't even watch that one anymore. Not least because he's fucking terrible at voice acting.
