Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

There's a big argument to be made that Trumpism is a revolt of America's hereditary elites who are apoplectic that the beginnings of a true meritocracy threatened to replace some of them.
The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

This perspective is a near consensus position across the political spectrum in this country.
Moderate democrats, socialists, conservatives, and Nazis agree that urban professional class renters are not deserving of political representation.

These people do not believe that the middle and professional classes have moral standing to do politics in their material self interest.

Excited to hear how McCreesh’s NYT mournful elegy for the rich rapist paradise that was New York City before metoo is actually ironic so it’s ok to write that piece and we all need to learn to read better.

This is why I’ve been weary of entrenched inflation. Once you account for demand destruction it loses steam. Then as the recessions hit, services and housing help bring the final blows.
It’s what pushes the Kindleberger spiral. You buy less and your export markets fall together. Drags on both.

During the November 14 drone strike on Kyiv, 73-year-old Nataliya Khodemchuk was killed. She was the widow of Valery Khodemchuk, the first victim of the Chernobyl disaster. A Russian Shahed drone hit her building, leaving her with severe burns. She died the next morning in hospital.
