    They are major funders to groups spreading election falsehoods, including Restoration of America, which, according to an internal document obtained by ProPublica, aims to “get on God’s side of the issues and stay there” and “punish leftists.”

    Since there is no God, this obsession with punishment makes me think that rich people simply see themselves as God through some sort of schizophrenic projection. But they can’t tell people that, so instead they’re “doing God’s work” which is itself an insane statement, but somehow carries enough credibility that entire corporations, governments, and religions are centered on it.

    I wish the box industry were as boring as portrayed in The Simpsons.

        Anybody who needs to use health insurance or receive any kind of government benefits would never be exempted from any of the tried and true methods of control.
