I know there was an actual Trump indictment and arraignment this week, but I have to get ahead for some real-life stuff and did an evergreen comic.

AI’s always invoked to replace labor, never management or any job that wields actual power. I’m decades away from the last time I wrote a computer program, but I guarantee you it’s easier to automate the work of the guys who turn spreadsheets into human misery than anyone doing anything useful for society.

Funding for COVID mitigation didn’t make it into the recently-passed spending bill. Pretty great timing, as we’re about to reach 1 million official COVID deaths in the United States, and the BA.2 omicron variant seems to be fueling another surge just as every level government is throwing mask-burning parties instead of making any preparations.

Lifestyles of a Stimulusaire

Lots of early deadlines because of the holiday, so I was working ahead. A paltry $600 stimulus check seemed to be all that was in the cards for weeks, until President Dipshit tweeted last night, seemingly bringing $2000 back on the table. (Broken clock, etc.)

I reworked it a bit to reflect a potential slight increase, but the overall point still stands. Billionaires have gotten obscenely wealthy during this pandemic, while politicians from both parties are worried the rest of us might not deserve any amount of relief.

Rich Boys’ Health Clinic

Call me a cynic, but I don’t think these three billionaires have their employees’ best interests at heart when they claimed to be working to reduce healthcare costs. Especially when one of them runs heat-exhaustion warehouses, another profits off predatory mobile home loans, and another ruined the economy and got a bonus for his efforts.

The only help a billionaire should offer is to shut up, and pay more taxes to fund single-payer health care.

Become a patron for a buck a month and see this and every comic early.

Republicans are spending their Fourth of July weekend trying to strip their fellow Americans of health insurance and vital Medicaid funding.

I am going to eat hot dogs, because unlike them, I’m a patriotic citizen.
