The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

Thing is, even if T is trying to bring beef prices down for the mid-terms, you *know* a gift still has to be part of it. He can't avoid self-dealing, it's a pathology. It'll come out, people will be pissed off, and he'll have failed at yet another scheme.

Alternative suggestion: we cap individual donations per year to a reasonable amount, and ban PACs

They're just hyping their products. Better to expose the lies than to lend credence to them (and then *still* tax and regulate the shit out of them)

Progressive candidates aren’t just coming from out of nowhere. They’re organizing and building power by connecting with their communities. This is a good thing. And the Democratic establishment should take notes.

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

I see this common misunderstanding everywhere. Data centers aren't being built for storage. Storage is cheap and can go anywhere, doesn't take crazy amounts of energy or cooling. These data centers are for the compute required to run AI. That's it. If anything, that should make us *more* furious.

Laurence is correct here. The data centers are for AI, not storage. Which is worse, when you consider that AI is a bubble propped up by investment and currently accounts for a third of our economy.

And if you work to pay your house off early, people say you should have put your money in index funds instead. So not only are you depending on a job to keep your house, but your whole life depends on the stock market going up.
