I don't care that Macklemore defended Palestine. I'm as anti-Israel as anyone. I can admit I hate rap, with only a handful of exceptions. This (see pic) happened just once, but it is hard to forgive. His explanation is not credible either.

This. You have to be deeply weird to amass a billion dollars. You can be a star athlete or actor or musician and be otherwise utterly normal. But you cannot focus on and succeed at amassing wealth like that without being deeply weird and broken. Waiting for the TED Talk.

There's more money out there than ever before. But it's concentrated into fewer & fewer hands. Example, just ONE guy has a TRILLION!!! If the people of the world - through their govts - want to make their lives better they're going to have to get the money FROM where the money WENT. Tax wealth.

Dear politicians - it is inevitable that climate will become the biggest political issue. Perhaps ever. Litmus test. Way more than the Iraq war was. Inevitable. If you didn't support the Green New Deal you might as well just get out of the way now. What is needed now goes so far beyond the GND.

Mostly people in the US are poorly educated and uninformed. They vote their guts and then rationalize. They also see more role playing actors (because of teevee) than ever before in human history. Now a lot of people find role playing actors in politics to be "authentic." See: Trump and Platner

Since 2000, a train has derailed in Nebraska roughly once every 7 days. Between 2000 and 2023, Nebraska has had the 5th most train derailments in the country. The railroad industry's response? Fight the Railway Safety Act and push a $72 billion merger that would make them even LESS accountable.

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern want to merge into one massive railroad monopoly. Railroad mergers: • Make shipping more expensive for farmers. Less competition means railroads can charge whatever they want. •Raise prices for consumers. When shipping costs go up, the price of everything goes up.

It's looking like there will be a peace deal with Iran. I am very grateful for this, but this whole escapade has meant billions in taxpayer money spent and American lives lost. What did we get? Higher gas prices and less trust from our allies. This has not made us any safer.

This is the whole thing in one line. Competition is the surface, cooperation is the substrate. Every firm that competes is a knot of people coordinating to exist. The market story hides its own foundation. Who benefits from that hiding?
