In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Bostonian candidate for the 6th District Dan Koh is running the Boston Marathon, because of course he is.
When I say politicians are out of touch with ordinary people, usually I mean it slightly less literally than this nepobaby 🤣
Mayors admitting that if it weren’t for soaring home prices their budgets wouldn’t work isn’t an argument against rent control.
It is an argument for a whole damn revolution.
Wild how The Salem News is a right-wing rag.
That’s why we have laws. It should not be up to each individual person to police corporate malfeasance.
Do you also think slavery was good because it made cloth cheaper?
Thanks AIPAC!
“We kept inflation low for so long people forgot how to do math” seems to be treatlerism’s villain origin story
Grass fed beef is just as bad, because it takes longer & the cows fart more: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Yes, because inflation is necessary for wages to rise.
It just turns out voters hate that and would rather stay poor.
Good. Why do you think exploited workers ought to subsidize my burger? 🤨
Cheap beef isn’t more important than my neighbors getting paid a living wage.
Up to 13%: then it becomes an actual problem.
But we can’t restore wage growth without tolerating 5% inflation, and if voters would rather be poor with low inflation then we are going to stay poor.
Inflation is just a lever you set to decide how much profit goes to businesses (lower inflation) versus workers (higher inflation).
If you can’t have inflation, wages can never go up. The government can’t spend money unless there is an active recession. And all the wealth will accumulate at the top
This is a masterpiece of the treatlerism genre
If we can’t live like English Victorian nobles plundering the rest of the world, what is even the point of life?
The price of beef is massively subsidized, not least by the fact that the cost to graze cattle on public land has not changed since the 1960s.
$1.35 per cow-calf pair per month - 30 to 50 times less than market value.
If you really want to stop corporate welfare, beef prices are gonna go up.
Youth Pastor: “You know who else was weak on crime…”
(There’s a typo-filled letter to the editor in the conservative Salem newspaper this week singing his praises.
Well, sort of. Mostly it is weird platitudes about how a dude yelling lies on cable TV will magically bring people together. But also digressions about Ken Burns & how great Moulton is…)
How is Dan Koh going to manage a congressional staff when he can’t even manage his campaign comms staff!?!
If Democratic leadership doesn’t start supporting actual transparency, we are going to get transphobic shithead Republicans elected in the suburbs. I will never forgive them.
The argument that people would judge what they spend money on makes them sound guilty as fuck.
The #MassachusettsLegislature talks about how it has its own “independent” audit.
It just checks that the bank account has the number they say. It doesn’t look at what the money is spent on.
The auditor is a self-aggrandizing attention seeker. The Democratic Leadership is giving her what she wants
I would love if there waa a way to turn this into a RICO case, but we might just have to do a McCarthyism.
ADHD isn’t new: we just used to treat it with cocaine.
Autism isn’t new: we just used to treat it with physical violence.
Everyone over 40 could use therapy.
The idea that Israel’s military actions are “everything [the Jewish] community stands for” is so deeply offensive to me it is hard to imagine how we are ever coming back together.
Getting glasses and getting meds were basically the same experience.
It’s a widely-heard rumor, just like Swalwell’s sexual impropriety was until the Chronicle got enough evidence to go on the record.
We do know Gallego thinks the Democratic Party should be about “sec, drugs and rock & roll”: x.com/JackPosobiec...
We don’t have confirmation of which drugs.
Gen Xers in high-novelty professions (like politics) will be like, “I don’t believe ADHD is real! Big Pharma just wants to medicate kids!!11” and then head to the bathroom with a mirror, credit card and dollar bill.
The primaries.
The primaries are where we decide who is in which coalition. It is a lot like a parliamentary system, except voters get to choose which coalition to put in charge.
There are anti-war, anti-corporate, pro-worker candidates running across the country. Want better? Support them.
Him and his staffer Dan Koh
Interesting! Thank you for sharing the value you find.
From my perspective, it seems like it uses extra words to say the same thing while adding centrist editorializing, but I can see how if those conclusions aren’t obvious having them called out could make it more accessible.
“Is funded by the same wealthy donors he wants to regulate” is coming from the Andover News: andovermanews.com/koh-campaign...
Just curious: why post links to AI-generated text instead of actual sources?
I have a genuine question: why?
This is why ICE confuses me so much: I just don’t care where a kid was born.
The filibuster isn’t in the constitution.
They could have. They chose not to.
