Dear America,

Our whole lives you've wanted black people to 'love' you, to pledge their allegiance to you.

You want us to love you when serving in uniform, but when we are out of uniform, you throw us aside as if we never served and protected you.

You want us to love you when we protect your fancy cities, but you designed them to keep us out.

You want us to love you on the grand stage of the Olympics, but you give us no peace or justice at home.

You don't want us to expose your treatment of us to the rest of the world. You want us to stay silent and keep this a family secret.

Well, now everything has been exposed in broad daylight for the whole world to see.
...

If people want to get a group of people to give a shit about the social contract, then they should make sure that that group of people is protected by the social contract. It's hard to blame people for opting out of a contract that controls them but doesn't protect them.
Yes.
Let me give you an example of this. Undocumented workers, in the USA, are given, by the IRS, what they call, an ITIN number to report their taxes.
--"I don't want you here, you don't exist, but bitch, give me your money."

--I'm sure they have contributed a lot more than Trump has.

But, when the pandemic hit, they were not included in the govt economic stimulus package. They got zero. This included their USA citizen significant other and their USA born kids. They get no unemployment benefits, they don't qualify for anything, nada, no help..."But boy are we the ones messing up the economy!" "Why can't you guys get ahead!?" "Why do you guys live in such bad neighborhoods?" "Stop feeling sorry for yourselves!"  ::)

Mother fuckers.
Keep wondering why we like to hear music that tells the government to fuck off."
:reading:
To add insult to the injury, cruise lines that market exclusively to the US, but registered their companies in other countries to avoid paying US taxes, got bailed out.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

It went on too long, twenty minutes to review 2020, too long, should have done it in two.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Now that was entertaining! I had hoped to see robots that could do things like this. I remember seeing videos way back when that showed them learning to walk.

It makes me think that the future is here and robots will soon have this desire to eradicate humans to get rid of all that is wrong in this world.

The pressures in a boiler and steam cylinder are no higher than a diesel engine. I suspect that steam engines have a bad reputation because of the early days of steam when there was a lot of dodgy materials used in boiler construction.
