Apparently her seat is at risk so she is toning down the vitriol?

What I meant is, Google's greed fucks everything up. But ok.

I love the idea, but that's not ICE. They have normal uniforms and uncovered faces.

Bummer 😒

But, glad you've heard of him. We should get more economists' reviews of his ideas.

For me, he explains the dreadful match of fascism very well, and a way out.

I'm not an economist. Would love to hear Krugman's view on him. About this article. Inflation 25%? That link shows a calculator. Most sources have uk inflation at 4-10%, so housing and stocks are up in real terms. And the shortcomings of the Gini coefficient are well known.

I agree. He may have been a monster. But having monsters killed by other monsters is very much like bear baiting or bullfighting.

We decided we would stop doing that, even though I'm sure some people would still love it.

HOW the super rich will impoverish you and your kids
YouTube video by Garys Economics HOW the super rich will impoverish you and your kids

Is this guy too left-wing to post here? I think he is totally right. Billionaires suck up everything. Both governments and the not-filthy-rich cease to matter because they're penniless. And disenfranchised people vote out of anger, not hope. Take a listen. youtube.com/shorts/o2J7S...

Trouble is, I have to sit through two ads before the video starts, so I won't 😭

Either a lie or a false flag.

It is the equivalent of plying the natives with beads and mirrors, and stealing their land. Where the US is now 'the natives'.

Not so sure. I'd like to see the equivalent of a population pyramid, showing the number of people at each percentile of wealth. Year by year if possible. Hello @forbes.com?

But slightly less so than all his GOP colleagues.

I remain to be convinced that he actually contributed anything.

It is happening all over the world, and I suspect it's not a spontaneous change.

I am guessing that with inequality rising, their customer base is shrinking.

Er moeten toch ooit een keer echte consequenties zijn voor het voortdurend negeren van de wet?

Ja toch ..?

It is not striking, it just follows the evangelical Christian movement. The only question is who are the people spreading this fascism around the world. My guess: the 1%.

I am hoping Dems don't vote out of self interest. The GOP of course always does.

'War and war', 'Melancholy of resistance'.

Sounds like he's on to the Zeitgeist 😞

It is now very American. UnAmerican is a meaningless word.

They are beyond embarrassment. I am actually surprised they're going through the motions. They're totally capable of just throwing her in jail without due process.

Maybe they reason it's too early, in another few months more people will be ok with it, and more others will have fled the country.

Is there any specific reason for the author's name to be cut off?

I don't think cruelty is the point for the upper echelon, they're in it for the money and what it will buy.

The ICE thugs are finally allowed to do their worst without repercussions.
