At the heart of our current mainstream economics, there is an extremely serious error about the concept of money.

it's pseudo-information. ridiculous.
13.11.2025 20:15 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This is absolutely, 100% because someone decided that a Google tool would be a useful shortcut to analyzing all the documents, without considering that you might want to check your assumptions.
If you don't the result is no better than a ChatGPT hallucination.
The "we've already heard this" or "most of this was already known" miss the entire point. Even if it was known, these emails blatantly contradict months and years of statements by Trump and his administration.
That includes an e-mail from Epstein, to Maxwell, about Trump and Virginia Giuffre.
No one has bothered to ask whether this statistical analysis has any validity, which it doesn't.
Because it is counting mentions, it treats every mention as of equal value. It can only generate a meaningless answer.
This mistaken conclusion is then used to dismiss real context.
This headline and the article are both based in a serious mistake in reasoning.
When you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you cannot treat needles and hay as equally important.
That is what the google tool, CBC and @cbcqueenspark.bsky.social have done.
The analysis is worthless.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.
State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

If I ran Jersey Mike's, I'd hire that guy who threw a Subways sandwich at the cop. He could say if it had been a Jersey Mike's sub he would have held on to it. The ad writes itself.

Dawkins is one of the most overrated scientific hacks ever.
His entire claim to fame for "the selfish gene" has not been borne out by evidence.
This is an absolute travesty, but that's the point.

At 2 a.m., the Alberta legislature passed a bill that will force 51,000 teachers back to work, impose a four-year contract and use the notwithstanding clause to stave off a legal challenge and suspend teacher bargaining at the local level. It includes fines for Ts and the ATA if they defy it. #AbLeg

Reaganomics and the economic policies that make them up are responsible for 50 years of growing inequality and the current economic crisis.
