Nothing makes me feel more bourgeois than when I’m shocked by descriptions of poverty in a New Yorker article

ARS basically distilling the NYT’s - and by extension liberalism’s - entire worldview

Because we let Bush et al get away with doing this secretly, Trump et al are able to do this openly

Feel like this order of guesses says something about me

We’re fucked

This story is pretty high up there in terms of capturing the essence of contemporary capitalism

The last 3 NYT Daily episodes have been extended interviews with 1) President of Princeton; 2) Christopher Rufo; 3) a small business owner hurt by Trump’s tariffs. Peak petit bourgeois level of consciousness

Having exausted all other options — having seen all other defenses fail — all our hopes for being rescued from one of the most deranged and stupid national leaders in history now rest with the highest and final authority in this country: the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

A study found $79 trillion was taken from the bottom 90% over the last half century. There's no lack of abundance. The abundance is being hoarded by the rich. But Abundance won't say that because its goal is to distract from oligarch-created scarcity - and deter Democratic populism.

Andrew Cuomo, in addition to being a serial sexual harasser, knowingly sent people with Covid into old folks homes, leading to a massive rate of infection and death for the elderly. Read and share the @propublica.org story about how Andrew Cuomo killed your elders.

Wtf?

Who could have predicted this?

OpenAI right now
