there go 52. we made it fam.

the 5th risk talks about trump putting incompetent loyalists into key government agency positions and basically attempting to gut the sciences within the USDA, Dept of commerce, EPA etc fighting against climate change and basically opting for privatization of government agencies by corporations that don't have the capabilities necessary to handle the task.

fear was more trump bashing lol....this one was more of a soap opera from within the white house. pretty enjoyable. paints him as a bumbling moron who doesn't understand how government actually works and relies on his cabinet to guide him as best as they can....granted he can still keep his base supporters in the eye of the media. was amusing in sections talking about plans trying to get him off twitter lol......lol.

the republic by plato is probably my book of the year. straight fire.

last book is about climate change and green energy. pretty dope. basically china is going to develop it first or were going to die....since we (America)apparently have zero interest in developing it. and when they do develop it we will probably go to war with them because lol at any country being stronger than America. pretty relevant reading in light of the recent climate change report released by the UN that king trump brushed aside.

Not saying being drunk doesn’t mess up you reasoning. I’m turning 20 soon so I haven’t had a drink ever.
