Prisoner's dilemma - Wikipedia

What does β€œcooperation” mean in this instance? Testifying? Against who?

The only β€œcooperation” it could mean is cooperation in a coverup.

Since No One Else Seems to Care, Let’s Remember Epstein’s Survivors They've already told us everything we need to know...

As everyone … scrambles for further evidence of Trump’s connection to the prolific pedophile and sex-trafficker, what’s beenβ€”once againβ€”lost in this discourse is the hundreds of women who survived the horrors Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their moneyed friends inflicted upon them.

154,000 federal workers who took DOGE buyouts are being paid to go fishing The government has generated an estimated $14.8 billion in waste on the deferred resignation program, a new report says

So, to recap, DOGE cuts mean:

-Paying more than 154,000 federal employees not to work

-A loss of over $10 billion in US-based economic activity

-$21 billion in waste spent on mass layoffs

Firing the BLS Commissioner β€” the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality β€” is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Trumpism has proven the Jamie Dimons of the world are nihilists at heart. They don't care about anything, not America, democracy, law, nor even capitalism. All their chest-puffing about the importance of free markets, liberty, and prosperity gone instantly in favor of an aging addled authoritarian.
