With the news being endlessly depressing, especially with all the Charlie Kirk stuff. This was refreshing to watch. I know it's from a week ago, but I just saw it and it made me chuckle. Dude's obviously not happy about his taxes going up, but the way in which he handled it was great.

The councilman at the end saying he liked the interpretive dance, seemed to understand the breaking could be viewed as a metaphor for the tax hike breaking peoples bank accounts.

Have you ever looked at the history of the Ghost dance and Wounded Knee and the untold loss of self identity experienced by native people owing to Western culture arrogance? Isn't that break dancer experiencing something of the same. More than a hundred years on some sort of progressive political movement began that realized that money kills and community creates meaningful life. That has to be stamped out to deny the sickness of capitalism. Welcome to despair. Safety will look like sleep. Here's your mockingbird.
