The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

in the spirit of Angelou's 'believe them the first time they show you who they are'... Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation "...we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Spencer Hakimian • @SpencerHakimian Somebody front ran the Brazil tariff news. Somebody bought a HUGE amount of USD and shorted BRL (Brazil's currency) at 1:32 PM. The 50% tariff announcement came at 4:19 PM, at which point, it looks like the big trader exited his trade instantly. Making 2.5% on a currency trade (which are usually 10-20x leveraged) so really 25% to 50% in less than 3hours. The most openly corrupt administration of all time.

It's not government, it's market manipulation.

The White House is rigging the markets to rip people off and make a shit-ton of money.

Just gonna put a pin in this:

It's highly likely that Nova Scotia will soon explode in wildfire.

There will be some proximate cause of the fire: someone doing something dumb, carelessness, inattention, whatever. People will point to that proximate cause and want to cast blame.

in the year 2025, we live or die is only by the capricious will of a king who rules with immunity and impunity; not even noblesse oblige, just crass whims, all in this modern age of space travel and machine sentience. wow, who'da thunk it.

Is the Carney government abandoning national pharmacare? The Liberals campaigned on it. Why do they now seem to be backing away from it?

"Without stronger privacy laws or purpose-built Canadian cloud infrastructure, we risk ceding control of our population health data to the hostile hyperpower in our basement."

Problem is: Will working the wound (what they call it in a sword fight) create results? The systems, judicial, legislative etc... are failing to judge crimes and enforce consequences. I used to think truth&facts automatically created action, now they seem to create rage, denial and paralysis.

It can't just be simple greed and warped values creating such complete compliance... the Trump mob must be threatening to literally, perhaps physcially, harm politicians and their families. This level of lockstep obedience is only commensurate with that level of threat.

oh, some of them are smart, like a wily, manipulative pyschopathic algorithm smart. but all of them are without ethics and all of them are mean.

The NYT with a trifecta of bullshit today:

1) equivocating on vaccines to puff up RFK

2) blaming NYC mass shooting on the proposed policies of a guy who's not the mayor, rather than the omni-cop mayor

3) blaming kids dying to a genocide as dying from 'preexisting conditions'

The tendency of certain lefty intellectuals to regard authoritarians who use a salad fork as deserving of respect is so damaging.

People like William Buckley or Rene Girard were advocates for repression. Their ideas are incoherent and authoritarian.

Engage them to oppose, like James Baldwin did.

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

trump breaks deals like he breaks wind: frequently, thoughtlessly, foully and sans regard for other's discomfort. Managing him is a delusion, any seeming 'win' would be partial or fleeting. We got nudding to lose but - dare I say - our integrity & Souls so let's at least act ethically
