Because the US would have to install an entirely new Political elite and economic oligarchy. The people holding those roles now are not going to go willingly.

Yeah.

I think acknowledging bad choices and risk is fine, provided you learned something other than “therefore germs are not a source of infection and illness”.

So long as it was a prolonged and painful infection

But holy crap an order or two orders of magnitude bigger. I don’t know what it will look like if the gamblers at the Nasdaq Casino all cash in their chips at once. But more money than is in circulation stands to be vapourized.

Let's be serious. Crime is integral to his thoroughly documented ideology. Why do we even pretend they would follow any rule or limit any external harm.

And SpaceX is no better! They've been a continuous environmental disaster both on ground and in space! And the scale is rapidly increasing.

Yeah, I guess “for-profit prisons” is already taken and kind of a crowded category these days.

I knew he was well past “weirdo” and far into “threat to human health at scale” territory but returning enslavement is a whole new dept of depravity.

And 💥 the entire concept of a “Public Intellectual” is relegated to the airport paperback carousel.

Broadly speaking this should be default mode for RW Rageahol Pushers’ content. I don’t need to stick my face in the bin every day to know what hot garbage smells like.

Merkin pols still confusing socialism snd fascism.

Americans are going broke. Nevada went to a red state in the last election and it's paid the price. Hundreds of thousands have lost jobs. Those people are losing their homes now. Trump wants to stop us from removing Republicans with the save act. Stop him!!

yes, and Steve Yegge is high on his own supply and the $4400/month guy (as a sibling thread notes) is a finance bro extruding work-shaped product and not doing work.

Ireland announces scheme to provide basic income for artists The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

Ireland: a proper country.

Exactly this.

This is a huge rebuke of Trump by Republicans. A bigger deal than it might seem.

🚨 6 Republicans joined Democrats in backing the resolution to cancel Trump’s Canada tariffs sponsored by Rep Gregory Meeks.

I should not be surprised, none of should be that Pamela Bondi is apparently a malicious, lying, and hurtful excuse for a human in her private life as well.

Can someone point me to a reasonable macro economics resource? Because I realized today I really don’t understand why we all go along with the existence of a politically suicidal Ponzi scheme?

I’m sure this something like the general theory of relativity. It will make sense once it makes sense.

TIL that there’s roughly $2.43 Trillion in circulation. How can the NYSE market cap be worth $44 Trillion, or Apple alone be valued at 4.02 Trillion? It would take more US dollars than exist to buy Apple. How does that work?
