This should lead on every newscast! It's like intentionally not wearing your body camera. But in fact - will anyone mention it, besides MSNOW?

What to do when truth goes away.... It's going away legally, or kind of legally, in plain sight. The people will have to arise and boycott, and establish alternative sources. Tall order.

Schumer has come up with a new slogan. He saw how powerful the slogan "America First" has been for Republicans. Ever alert for an edge, he has just unveiled his suggested Democratic counter-slogan. "Israel First!" Thanks, Chuck.

I'm talking about economists, but it applies to PE and other enterprises who go by money alone. E.g. - PE will buy a rural hospital, strip it and sell the land and make a bundle, and leave the area without a hospital. Econ says - better use of capital! Non-econ says - see how FOS that analysis is?

I love Justin, so eloquent. But overloading the world with economics is a threat. In medicine, my field, economists have made such a mess. Markets are good some places, but not much in vital fields like health, education, housing. There, economics miss more than they hit, I'd say.

Do you think anyone has voluntarily called Trump "sir?" Not unless "sir" means "you fucking asshole" in another language.

I wonder if the Dems realize the opportunity they have as Trump, MAGA, and the Republican party are going all in for fascism. If the Dems act bravely, they will win adherents that will last for years. "They were there when it counted." Shed Schumer and Hakeem. Then lead strongly. For the win.

agree! Well, in medicine, I think it will be creative in establishing diagnoses and finding connections that were previously obscure. And much more, I think.

I agree with Elon - potential for huge increases in productivity. But, how will these fruits be distributed? Will it all go to the top and unemployment proliferates below? This should be major item on Dem agenda. I wonder what EWarren and AOC will think of. Remember, neolibs fumbled badly last time
