The backwards feet and dough-kneading of her knee juxtaposed with the Escheresque dock and misplaced ripple are a paragon of paradox. Confusion meets solemnity. The dress is a cage. Menudo.

Words brought into English can use English pluralisations, so you're not wrong if you say octopuses. I think Grammar Girl had a take on this maybe 7 or even 8 years ago by now. These days, I can't see myself getting worked up about it for the sheer fun of being pedantic like I used to.

We're well past it meaning anything. These rebukes, reprimands, and censures are political theater. Fascists laugh when you use the rigged system against them.

And does so begrudgingly.

Totally willing to help the very needy...pharma bros get a piece of that sweet, sweet government pie. Why let government do anything when outsourcing to private capital helps me buy my yach...er...feed my kids.

I think you already know the reason is money. Exploiting others isn't demonized, it's celebrated as "innovative" and "clever" and "entrepreneurial spirit." That is the system, held up, and propagandized by, the exploiters. We're taught that violent protest is "uncivil" or "barbaric," because it's the only thing that truly threatens the system, which otherwise holds a monopoly on violence, to prop up that system.
