“How can we prove that we think empathy is a sin?”

“Hey, I’ve got an idea.”

Attack the cities, decimate rural areas with funding cuts.

I guess we’ll see if rural voters’ lived reality will overcome right wing Foxaganda then.

Even if the pledge is unnecessary do it They need their own new contract with America.

T famously breaks contracts. Sets a strong contrast. We will re establish rules and order. Etc.

They should do the stock thing as a signal against corruption and sign a pledge as a party: all congressional candidates upon taking office put all stocks go into a blind trust for the duration. Or an index fund I guess.

Rs biggest weakness with avg voter is prob corruption/money in politics.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t shocked.

Won’t someone think of the poor bros?

The years since Covid have clearly shown how much many employers resist accommodating employees *for any reason*.

I assure you many will not just say “ok everyone knock off from 10-4” willingly.

Also our society is built around specific work shifts. School for one thing.

Ooo so when I ask Claude what to put in my weekend bag it’ll be using even more energy?

Awesome!👏. Great job, humans.

Capitalism’s promise of prosperity has always been shadowed by ecological destruction and persistent exploitation. Our podcast of the week excavates capitalism's critics, many of whom anticipated crises now intensifying.

“In Sim City”, perhaps

Not the point, but Carlos Slim sure sounds like a video game character.

The Billionaire Protection Bureau is doing a fantastic job in the Trump administration.

CorTrumpTion

It’s so bad it needs a new name under them.

Oopsimath = a person who hates math but inadvertently keeps using it in everyday situations, like when distributing the slices of a pizza among their friends

Maybe he’s confused the Constitution with a weak defensive line.

“Just go around it.”

They already cut the SNAP program by limiting how long you could be on it in a specific time and added work requirements *before the shutdown* with their own legislation so please tell him to stop pretending to care

Kind of like adding AI to Windows, then

“70 year old billionaire says just relax, climate change is no big deal. Then hops onto his private jet”

- alternative headline

Woo we’re going to turn the gas into electricity into intelligence.

Then what, Doug?

Then what?!?!

What will you do with the magic intelligence?

She’s one of/THE biggest money raisers in R House and has a brand that stands apart from Trump. She’s got a lot of leeway that Congressman Whosthat doesn’t to say what she wants and T can’t really hurt her much with tweets. I’d bet he fears her a bit.

I don’t respect her but she’s powerful.

“Protection”

I heard a pod where people talked about AI inserting dead relatives into wedding videos and ….I’m sorry they died but reality isn’t always what we want.

Why would you want to remember a false wedding?

a greater fool more easily than before since your timeframes are faster for selling. So might lead to the bubble persisting longer than when trades had more friction.

No economist but a thing I think about is concentration of wealth is off the charts and these people desperately want to grow their money somewhere and other industries provide slow growth if that.

Also trading has gotten faster which might lead to staying in longer today thinking you’ll find….

“Epstein was buried 6 years ago. Why are we still protecting his accomplices and fellow sex offenders?”

Uncap the House first and figure out the rest later.

Nothing is scarier to Mike Johnson than a guy who died 6 years ago and the person who will vote to tell the truth about him.

Competition? The company have created massive infrastructure partly to insulate themselves from competition.

If you posit that to be AI you need huge data centers then the barriers to entry are immense and insurmountable.

17 years ago we bemoaned too big to fail and learned nothing apparently.

Good luck to them on working through reduced domestic capacity to buy their products due to SNAP freeze - and cuts which were locked in by the Republicans.

I realize it’s a complicated message but their tax dollars funnel(ed) into needy pockets to buy their products.

The economy is complex.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
