The thing is that China doesn’t need the US or Apple in order to make and sell ‘iPhones’ as I am sure we are about to discover. US tech hegemony depended on consumers having fuzzy feelings about the US.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

yeah the issue with M4A is not that single payer isn’t a superior system (it is), it’s that the underlying issues with American healthcare still require mostly supply side fixes and the rationing that occurs at the insurance level is downstream of that

there was not "intense social pressure" to stop saying 'master bedroom' and 'brown bag lunch,' bffr. If you were a national pundit with millions of readers you would get some annoying twitter replies and emails. Ordinary people with normal jobs were not experiencing this.

One of the most disheartening experiences for me over the past 80 days has been the shattering of the illusion I harbored that academia (particularly wealthy private institutions filled with smart people) would uphold and fight for the ideas and values we cherish.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Makes me so sad. At least as American Millennial, there was a joke rivalry, but Canada were supposed to be our literal closest bro's in the world? The nicest people you could possibly meet. Like literally comically loving of Americans, you would NEVER do ANYTHING to hurt them. What have we done...
