Seen a lot of pompous Wall Street assholes cycle through the Treasury secretary job, but I really think Bessent is the smuggest dick to serve in the role, and I include Paulson in that

Socialists may be aware that every Friday the Wall Street Journal publishes its “Mansion” section. This week it’s about how the rich fly comfortably over your heads so they’re not even briefly inconvenienced while traveling between luxury properties worldwide

Conservatives demanded consequences if people made fun of Charlie Kirk, and insisted on firings and expulsions of faculty or students protesting the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. But now the conscience of the Right is stirred, its voice lifting up to say:

Students sign their promissory notes to begin borrowing their average of $40,000 in student loan debt at the start of the academic year. BUT you don’t pay at the food court, so too much FREE STUFF is the problem, not the sight of students’ twisted future under capitalism
