Also explains the growing cowardice of news outlets either cowed into submission or owned by the same billionaires they should be investigating. Who the hell would put up with all the shit you get trying to do your job well when it pays 35k a year?

TIL that the New Wave band DEVO was formed in response to the Kent State shootings. In 1970, co-founders Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis got serious about their idea of the "de-evolution" of the human race after Casale's friends Jeffrey Miller & Allison Krause were killed by OH national guards.
