Sounds like one of those made-up dystopian sci-fi movies based on “what if we let a few billionaires run everyt……” oh shit.

Seems like the country would get better almost instantly if we just stopped believing that ultra rich people are smarter, morally superior, and better equipped to run things than everyone else.
DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT.

What Is the K-Shaped Economy, And Why Is It a Problem? The U.S. economy has grown increasingly bifurcated, with spending largely dependent on affluent households. Companies, and the Fed, are concerned.

The people who set America’s economic policy have never asked this question

There’d be a lot less of this shit if we really invested in white collar prosecutions and put these guys in prison when the rules they thought didn’t apply to them were just money/business ones.

Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

Reminder that when Democrats get brushed off the plate by obvious bad-faith (and false!) “soft on crime” scare tactics, we end up with this.

Congratulations to the U.S. Senators who tried to pander to people who were never going to vote for you no matter what.

Tesla's Robotaxi Service In San Francisco Is Actually Just Going To Be A Regular Old Taxi Service - Jalopnik Instead, Tesla will provide a "chauffeur-style service operated by human drivers." Translation: taxis driven by cabbies.

The Thomas Edison of our time—inventing shit that existed when Edison was still alive.

These type of guys’ whole game is to “reimagine” stuff that’s existed for decades and charge you 3 times as much for half the quality.

Thanks to the Fairfax County Animal Shelter for introducing us to the newest member of our family!

This morning's news was difficult to hear. Gerry Connolly wasn't just a Northern Virginia icon, but a friend. I count myself lucky, as a Fairfax County resident, to have benefited from his decades of leadership – a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.

For over 30 years, Gerry Connolly has championed Fairfax County and Northern Virginia’s most pressing issues.

As both a constituent, and as a friend, I’ll deeply miss his leadership and unwavering commitment to our community.

The DOJ's Civil Rights Division was founded in 1957. It's one of the reasons I was inspired to serve as a federal prosecutor under President Obama.

Now, 60+ years later, the Trump admin is destroying one of the most powerful institutions dedicated to fighting discrimination.
