I am so looking forward to seeing American taxpayers tar and feather Kudlow and run him out on a rail.

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

While I'd really like to see something like LFTR become practical (more to burn off existing waste) I'm not sure it'll be competitive with renewables particularly with how storage is coming along.

Right now civility is a spiked collar whose leash is held by social conservatives who have no interest in actual courtesy and just want to control others' speech.

Fuck civility. Bring back real courtesy.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

this isnt just a fox thing but its so weird how often "the market" is spoken about like its a sentient god we must offer up sacrifices to. if you were an anthropologist looking at our culture of the last 100 years wo context you would assume The Market is a deity we worshipped like the greek gods

To the contrary, the framers of the American constitution were *deeply* concerned about a Trump. They believed - it turns out incorrectly - that the system of checks and balances, the other institutions, would prevent a despotic president.

That's the exact reason the world won't go back to the pro-Trump status quo... there's no sign the US has learned from this experience and we can't trust them not to dive head-first into the same hole the first chance they get.

Not sure that would be a step down from the current Confederate-Centric era of geopolitics.

The consequences of this war for Americans will be bleak and take decades to unfold, but it will impoverish and provincialize them in ways that would have been unimaginable ten years ago

Tapping the sign that this is exactly what got my grandfather -- who was as racist as the next old suburban white man and would routinely *quote Michael Savage* and act like he was teaching a lesson -- to vote for Obama.

This, and his retirement stocks cratering.

Black-and-white photograph of Joseph Casavant seated at a large pipe organ console. He is shown in profile, wearing a dark suit, with both hands on the keyboards. The organ console has multiple manuals (stacked keyboards), rows of round stop knobs to the right, and a wooden music stand above the keys. The surrounding area appears to be a church or hall interior, with wooden paneling and architectural details visible in the background.

On this day in 1874, Joseph Casavant died. From 1840 to 1866, he built 17 organs for Catholic cathedrals around Canada. In 1879, his sons established Casavant Frères on the site of his original factory. The company has produced more than 3,000 organs to date.

The Dos And Don'ts Of Prepping For A Recession
YouTube video by The Financial Diet The Dos And Don'ts Of Prepping For A Recession

So, for no particular reason, seems like it might be a good time to link this video youtu.be/wcCLeZs7zb8?... on how to handle a recession, which contains a lot of the knowledge I was told as the child of bankers on how to handle a sharp economic downturn.

You know, for no particular reason.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.
