As a person with an econ degree ๐Ÿค“, I can say accurately that not all markets can and should be free. And a blind allegiance to that idea is in fact bad.

Even if you subscribe to neoliberal economics market failures are real.

We gotta do better by our short kings while making fun of goblins. Nobody who isn't a Nazi at their core is going to run off and become a Nazi because of a height joke, but you can avoid friendly fire by firing in a different direction completely.

"... Iโ€™m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult childrenโ€™s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district,โ€ Greene said in the post.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally Solar and wind power arenโ€™t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore โ€“ theyโ€™re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally. moreโ€ฆ

Last week, this same judge ruled that the South Carolina Election Commission can hand over voter data to the federal government. DOJ has been asking for the records. Goodstein issued a temporary restraining order on 9/2, but lifted it on 10/2.

I'm no fire expert (at all), but that looked like a HOT fire, fueled by a broken gas pipe or something. It must have started suddenly and explosively for the family to not be able to leave safely.

Same. He was saying "ayudame," help me, and I can't get it out of my head.

He got away this time, but how can anyone function day after day knowing that could happen again any time?
