@blogdiva 👏👏👏. And once again, here we are. Giving a forum to a person who has, time and again betrayed the people with lies and scams. Gates and his supposed "foundation" has been a money making pyramid scheme for donkeys years. But put him in an academic outfit behind a warm backdrop allowing him to spew false information about an area of expertise that he has no right to play expert in. Aaaaand, once again, the general zombie brained, public laps it up because, it's #billgates, the #humanitarian, the #entrepreneur, etc. He was shit at OSs, so let's not pretend this #entitled, white, male, #upperclass eejit with his soft vocal tones and wannabe charismatic face knows anything about the actual effects of #climatechange. People need to quit defending him and reveal him for what he really is, as you said, a simple #conman. 🤦‍♀️🤬

We don't need more wealth and more poverty. We need more investment in people and tougher regulations on corporate greed and on the super rich.

A quotation from C. C. Colton

Many speak the truth, when they say that they despise riches and preferment, but they mean the riches and preferment possessed by other men.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 371 (1820)

" ... and looked over my Lord's lodgings; and Whitehall garden and the Bowling-ally, where lords and ladies are now at bowles ..."

You are at the centre, Sam. High up in the King's administration, at home in Whitehall, now looking at the private amusements of the upper class.

These vignettes have so much cinematic poetry in them.

Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, old BBC radio shows, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940-s and earlier, and I adore the tenore di grazia and lyric tenor voice types. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I like 1950's through 1970's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories (no feminine clothing). It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am happily childfree, am not religious, speak my mind and am against political correctness. I also love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

A quotation from John Adams

It is true, there has been among us a party for some years, consisting chiefly not of the descendants of the first settlers of this country but of high churchmen and high statesmen, imported since, who affect to censure this provision for the education of our youth as a needless expence, and an imposition upon the rich in favour of the poor — and as an institution productive of idleness and vain speculation among the people, whose time and attention it is said ought to be devoted to labour, and not to public affairs or to examination into the conduct of their superiours. And certain officers of the crown, and certain other missionaries of ignorance, foppery, servility and slavery, have been most inclined to countenance and increase the same party.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Essay (1765-09-30), “A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law,” No. 3, Boston Gazette

We need to talk about the classism of #Moderate #liberals.

Oh, the moderate liberal. There is a profound lack of empathy amongst what we would call the mainstream of the #DemocraticParty.

So, here's the thing. You want everyone to have an #EV. Well, an #ElectricVehicle requires charging. That pretty much requires a garage.

What about #solar? Well, if you are renting, you can't install solar panels. Nor does the #landlord have any incentives to ever install them.

Banning #plastic bags? A tax on poor people who traditionally got multiple uses out of every single plastic grocery bag.

Time and time again you see the #Democratic party, often along with #MiddleClass and #UpperClass #leftists and #progressives argue in favor of policies without a hint of empathy for the lived day to day reality of people who are #poor, #InnerCity or #rural.

Can you really be surprised that #Newsom decided to attack #homeless encampments? In his worldview, homelessness is a defect of the system, not an inherent product of it.

Fewer roads, fewer cars. Sure, but it sounds frightening when you have to drive to a dockyard that's two miles from a transit station.

The reason that a lot of #poor people in the US view the #Democrats as traitors is because they have traditionally _been_ class traitors.

The loudest progressive voices are usually the most privileged voices. So, they just sound like more class traitors without a moment of reflection on the actual lives of actual working people.

Referees wear vertically striped outfits that are black and white. Not surprisingly they get called zebras by many. But despite the haranguing referees get, they are considered to be upstanding citizens with good opinions on the match or game they ref. They are an authority figure.

For the longest time, prisoners wore horizontally striped outfits that were black and white. I think they were given such clothing in an effort to stand out from the crowd. If they escaped their prison they could easily be spotted before they managed to change clothes. As prisoners, they were largely looked down on by the general public.

What is it about black and white stripes that denotes the position in society so easily? Could it be that vertical stripes are slimming and therefore of a higher standing? Horizontal stripes make someone look broader and does that denote lower standing?

Does the black and white part, mean that they see things in black and white? Maybe they make the mistake of seeing everything as good or evil, right or wrong. I don’t know because I didn’t come up with this design.

But I do think that the middle class could be denoted by black and white stripes on a 45 degree angle. If we let someone dress up like that, though, I bet one of the first comments would be, “You’re crooked!” since crooked also refers to the criminal, this design doesn’t make the wearer an average, non-criminal, society member.

The only way to denote the ordinary citizen that I can see, is to use zigzagging patterns, sometimes known as saw-tooth wave patterns. But should they zigzag horizontally or vertically?

If the vertical stripes is upper class, then the horizontal stripes would mean lower class. Perhaps the horizontal saw-tooth wave pattern could denote lower middle class. Charlie Brown has a yellow and black shirt with this pattern. Does that mean he was lower middle class? Then the vertical saw-tooth wave pattern could denote upper middle class. We could all display our class with our clothing. Doesn’t that sound icky.

If you don’t want to do this might I recommend any clothing other than black and white stripes.
