Thinking about all the unhoused people in #SantaCruz right now and how any drug use among them is used to deprive them of basic human rights or compassion, while drug use among housed people is celebrated and turned into a booming industry. We've made a cruel society.

We're a military with a bit of country attached

In just two years, Biden has signed off on over $1.72 trillion in military spending — $737 billion more than what the infrastructure bill and Inflation Reduction Act provide over *ten* years: stephensemler.substack.com/p…
Biden has enacted $1.7 trillion for the Pentagon. The infrastructure bill and Inflation Reduction Act combined: $985 billion. This chart displays fiscal years 2022 through 2031 on the x-axis and U.S. dollars on the y-axis. It has two blue lines, one long and one short. The long one shows the cumulative spending of ‘building back better’ — infrastructure bill and Inflation Reduction Act funding combined. This line starts in 2022 and stops in 2031, showing $985 billion in total. The shorter line displays cumulative military spending from 2022 to 2023, showing $1.72 trillion in total. Data for this chart comes from public laws 117-58, 117-169, 117-103, and 117-328. The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (which disperses funding from 2022 through 2026) & the Inflation Reduction Act (which disperses funding from 2022 through 2031) data points reflect average annual funding. Military spending figures include fiscal years 2022 and 2023. More: stephensemler.substack.com

The emperor has no real college degree either

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The University of Pennsylvania considers Musk to be a graduate of both the economics department and the physics department. "Elon Musk earned a B.A. in physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The degrees were awarded on May 19, 1997." -Penn, 2019 snopes.com/fact-check/mus…
