The 2-party system is showing structural strain, and cannot represent a broad, diverse country. I’ve never felt that either major party truly represents what I want. As the system continues to weaken, this may be an inflection point for new political movements or parties to emerge.

Extreme wealth inequality feels like it keeps accelerating. Those at the top have been accumulating more and more since the beginning of time. When is enough enough as they say. Unfortunately, something something too big to fail.

Took a break from Bluesky and almost felt like a vacation. Is that called being a responsible social media user is all about? Might have to start doing this every quarter.

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights. A free press is fundamental to democracy. This is unacceptable & we will continue to fight back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

🏦 Central banks are diversifying reserves away from USD. 💸 Fiscal credibility is deteriorating. 📉 Future real rates are expected to fall 🌍 Geopolitical settlement risk is higher Is all this really happening in your opinion?

Gold has surged back to all-time highs above ~$4,400 per ounce, up roughly 60–70% in 2025. Its strongest yearly performance in over four decades. Clearly, everyone wants in after questionable fiscal and monetary policy. #Econsky

Yesterday was unforgettable! I played the best round of golf I’ve ever had—hitting two birdies and breaking 90 for the first time in just my first year of play. Maybe in my second year, I can aim to break 80?

Despite higher insurance premiums, bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and wages that haven’t kept up, I’m still grateful for what we do have: each other. Wishing everyone a warm and restful holiday season.

Crazy how we went from "taxing the rich" to giving the rich tax cuts. Make it make sense.

No one cares… we are more concerned about cutting subsidies and taxes for the rich.

Congratulations zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! It’s inspiring to see a new generation of leaders emerging. The people chose representation beyond the usual Democrat or Republican labels. They’ve voted for a democratic socialist who genuinely puts the people first.

Another reason our leaders are so incompetent: they live in a billionaire bubble, detached from the realities most people face while serving mainly other billionaires and trillionaire corporations.

At some point, accountability has to mean more than press conferences and talking points. Real leadership is about solutions, which they've lacked for decades. Not blame and partisan theatrics. Can we even count on government at this point?

Mat Shum @spx9k.bsky.social · 02/11/2025
Man, it’s unbelievable how incompetent our leaders have become. I really didn't think that it could get worse. But look, inflation keeps driving prices higher, yet they’re busy pointing fingers during a government shutdown over subsidies that actually help most Americans.

Had so much fun playing at Torrey Pines yesterday! Was the most windy conditions I’ve played, which made it even more fun. Shot 103, birdie on hole 7, and got trapped a couple times in bunkers.

I hear you, Stephen. Even with someone like Obama, it’s hard to trust — because inequality has been eroding that trust long before he ever stepped into office.
