Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Priscilla Chan opened a school for disadvantaged kids in 2016 with her husband, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The Primary School, in East Palo Alto, CA, offered free tuition, as well as free health care and counseling for students and parents, in an attempt to show that giving kids the right support could lessen gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged students. In 2018, Chan, a pediatrician, said she was "in for the long haul." But in April 2025, less than a decade after the Primary School opened, Chan told staff it would shutter its two locations after the 2025-2026 school year.

Just when you think some billionaire oligarchs are charitable, a heartbreaking story like this emerges. In their entire lifetimes, Mark and Priscilla Chan Zuckerberg will never be able to spend the mega-mountain of money they have. After the 2025 GOP/Trump tax cuts, the Zuckerbergs and other oligarchs will have even more wealth to buy yachts, space rides, organs, private islands, or luxury jets, while tens of millions of Americans lose their health care. Thousands of college graduates will be facing hardships this year as the Dept of Education begins going after delinquent loans, a problem the superrich or their offspring will never have.

We could tax them to death but I acknowledge that would be impossible to do it in a capitalist country. So it would be ridiculous to even try to do that. Just sayin

Perhaps if we could get a political party that's not beholden to the oligarchy ...

Their existence is a threat to democracy.

To privatize governance is the capitalist dream. Extracting our personal data from this government, by this government.

Now, "services" are being shut off and even our value as slaves is plummeting along with longevity.

As we observe the polite quiet from "sources of truth", maybe our expectations should be in police militarization and eventual martial law dictatorship.

Then again, we'd never know until Rachel Maddow or Jon Stewart clues us in, probably as they are being frog-marched off.

WWLD?

If only he were more versed in Adobe maybe he could have mailed a fake hand with a digit missing and a blueprint of the a-holes home with a red X over the insinkerator instead of printing a gun.
