the frustrating combo of (somewhat good) (very mildly reformist) pawlicy and extremely cynical marketing
taxing corporations and some securities is normatively good but it’ll do very little about inflation

Have you [Brad Wilk, drummer for Rage Against The Machine] ever had any diabetes-related emergencies while performing?
I have had a few close calls. One night in France I was onstage and knew that my blood sugars were getting very low. I have a pretty good sense and pay attention to what my body is telling me. I checked my blood and it was at 60. So I drank about two-thirds of a bottle of Powerade. Two songs later I felt even worse and started to get disoriented and very dizzy. I began to slightly panic and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t feeling stabilized. So immediately after the song I still had sense enough to grab the bottle (which was in French, to make matters more difficult) and realized that they had given me a drink sweetened with sucralose [that] had next to no sugar or carbs!
My tech then had to make a mad dash back to the dressing rooms to find something else before it was too late. Luckily, he came through. I also have very understanding band members who just threw out a jam with no drums while I got what I needed. So hey, because of my diabetes, the audience got a little something extra. The glass is half full, people!
