And it will go back to companies, who will
a) keep prices high because the marks paid it! and
b) keep the refunds
or c) they have already sold the rebates at a discount to hedge funds/private equity, who will use them irresponsibly and buy something essential to kill & sell for parts.

In brief, we are going to get more catastrophic decisions as automation bias and stupidity are baked into decision making as first mover morons demand systems without guardrails. And this author thinks it's vaguely a good thing.

Can we get to a point where this is the politics we should be following?

Tariff refund is gonna be a fucking disaster, especially because they’re gonna have to tax people to pay them back for the taxes they charged them that they weren’t allowed to charge.

And to make things crazier, once that happens, consumers are going to figure out they're being taxed to pay for the tax they were illegally taxed.

sometimes i wonder if we can ever go back to news stuff being put on actual functional websites, instead of people posting news on social media sites where they also subscribe to random, sometimes malicious blocklists so you don't get to see the news stories

seems kinda bad, everyone

Remember the absolute OUTRAGE Republicans had at Biden for the "chaotic" withdrawal from Afghanistan? A timeline that was, lest you forget, agreed to by Trump 1.0.

Where's the outrage now? It's many more people with much less (no) advance notice.

🧡Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A wiry man (80s?) in an old fashioned flying helmet, goggles and a brown leather bomber jacket over brown overalls, with an epic, fly-away beard, is cycling into a small country town.
A grin on his face.
A tubby dog in a crate on the back. (1)

I think at this point we have to accept that a lot of pick up trucks are simply gender affirming care.

I see what he is doing now thanks to @stemthebleeding.bsky.social He can't stop it so instead of letting the troops be defenseless and just dying for nothing, he wants Israel and the Gulf states to split funding for it.

As nuclear fusion is twenty years away forever, so too is Iran months away from a nuclear bomb, forever.

You can understand Iran's interest. Living in a world where barbarian criminals like Netenyahu and Trump are in control of nukes, any sane person would want one. I wish California had nukes.

So Rogan, for all his 'sleepless regrets' over helping this regime retake power, is fine with continuing to be a mouthpiece for MAGA's chief petri dish and measles proponent.

Don't forget he also worked for drug cartels under the guise of an 'advisor' to the contras...

He then sold the Marines and Soldiers serving in that theatre of operations down the river...

He's a scumbag who dishonors the title of Marine Officer...
