**The End of Trickle-Down Economics**

"The past year proves that a lot of conventional economic wisdom is neither true nor wise. For example: 1) “We don’t have the money.” The power elites tell us it would be nice to do the big-ticket reforms America needs, but the money just isn’t there. Then a pandemic slammed into America, and suddenly trillions More The post The End of Trickle…"

Being vaccinated does NOT mean it's okay to ask neural nets to participate in meme formats about pandemics that didn't exist when their training data cut off in Oct 2019. You will get memes that make no sense. Be smart.

‘We’re so stupid following our politicians’: Brain-worm-ridden NBA legend Charles Barkley says Dems & GOP allied in dividing and conquering America — RT USA News https://www.rt.com/usa/520080-barkley-divide-conquer-politics/

Then he released all of them under Creative Commons.
