This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

Class conscious finally gains some traction with the broader public, and the socialist word police out here like “Stahp, you’re doing it wrong!!”
Maybe in the long run, but corporate profits are sky high at present. Best believe there’s more juice they’re gonna squeeze from this rind.
Doesn’t calling it the Department of War make it easier to defund and eventually dismantle, though?
Isn’t it good that we stop pretending it’s engaged in “defense”?

When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman’s husband demands
—Exodus 21:22, NRSV
May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.
—Numbers 5:22, NRSV
What translation(s) are you referring to that seem to suggest something different?
Actually God only demands a monetary fine if you cause a miscarriage in someone who didn’t want one (Exodus 21), and requires that you drink a potion that will give you a miscarriage if you got pregnant by someone who isn’t your husband (Numbers 5). If only those Republicans could read their own Bible, they would be very upset.
Valve represents the acme of capitalism, with likely the highest profit per employee of any corporation that has ever existed, and you’re out here sucking them off?
