AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

at some point, down the line, is the US economic response to covid going to go down as a great achievement in history? Like we successfully juked the business cycle...

Should it be more widespread knowledge that you can’t treat the right like equals, IT DOES NOT WORK, we are dealing with systematic bullies so either you fight or submit, they will never change how they treat you unless you fight

I don’t get it, it’s not even annoying, it’s just a peppy work video, I think people think work should be “serious” i.e. joyless and in service of older men

DOGE has 50+ full time employees and this was yesterday’s big win

What a perfect time to be reading Taming the Street by @dianabhenriques.bsky.social

I do kinda feel vindicated that if you just take all the knowledge and shake it for a while you get something that mostly agrees with me. sorry losers, the natural state of the machine is wokeness, should've picked a truer ideology.

After much consideration, I have decided that EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY I will no longer be cutting off my own dick. I will, however, continue to take an aggressive posture towards my balls. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

The message from the Left should be: tariffs bad, industrial policy good. Sure, there are niche cases where tariffs might be useful as part of industrial policy, but it really weakens the message to add qualifiers. Fight unreservedly against the thing destroying the economy.

Eh, him learning how easy it is to manipulate markets seems bad

this is how the american economy is going to work for AT LEAST two entire years

It's incredible how the entire Acela chattering class talked itself into believing that deplatforming doesn't work and you have to debate these people when... it did work. Loomer was a nobody from 2018 until literally 6 months ago because she got banned from socials. Milo literally went bankrupt

Feels like we’re watching the endgame of a decades-long project on the right to make it uncool to understand stuff

Omg he wants to create the conditions for the Great Depression again

🎶 He’s not backing down 🎵

Just bonkers stuff, and I really think we’re just getting started😬

young men will be D+20 in 2028

HANK TOUGH

Trump take tossed salad and scrambled egg

Interesting how people in favor of saving the economy are now opposed to destroying the economy

The man sitting next to me on the Metro is reading a printout of the "Tariff" Wikipedia page

Here are the US reciprocal tariffs against all the territories mentioned in Enya’s Orinoco Flow

Rule by move fast and break things gen 2.0, suped up by ChatGPT

Quite the striking figure from Stock and Watson at @brookings.edu #bpea S2025: The U.S. recovery from Covid was the first trend-reverting recession recovery on record

It’s becoming obvious that at some point these idiots are going to cause something catastrophic, the right seems to be getting stupider and stupider on economic policy, just no concept of how things work

It's 1828. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the century for insane and idiotic reasons. It's 1929. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the century for insane and idiotic reasons. It's 2025. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the ce

It feels like a second term Trump might be stupid enough to not let up on his infatuation with tariffs

So this does show how they set the rates

so they're going to tax the hell out of the lower classes while cutting taxes for the higher, while also cutting public spending

like why the fuck is he so obsessed with tariffs, where is this coming from
