Ok folks, yes: this bubble is crazy. But before you call it GFC 2.0 perhaps look at the total size of this debt vs how much was outstanding in mortgages circa 2006. It's not even close in scope
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

What you have to understand is that Democrats in the Senate were very concerned, worried sick! that their flights home for Thanksgiving would be delayed or cancelled

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

It is objectively true that measurable, living quality of Americans is up significantly over the past 50 years, but... Americans also correctly perceive that further gains are unlikely, instability is on the horizon and any incremental wealth will never get to them.
That's what Trump latched onto

Reducing spending on a major category of household good that no one can avoid by EIGHTY PERCENT is a huge advancement in material prosperity. But the left, which is theoretically focused on material prosperity, has trained itself to see any reference to growing prosperity as a rhetorical trick

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.
So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?
Seriously?

putting aside how pathetic this story was generally and how insane it is no one covers Vance's Nazi group chats... Facebook and TT algos force onlyfans models to the top of the feed as normal work safe content so if a politician follows a lot of ppl, it's the fault of big tech

Three questions:
1. Is who politicians follow online newsworthy?
2. Is the vice-president more important than a primary candidate to be junior Senator from Texas?
3. If the answer is yes to the first two, why isn’t Axios doing a fuck ton of stories about who JD Vance is following?

Republicans seem to think that the norms created by the social contract are just sort of a immutable laws of nature and that therefore, tearing up the social contract will have no negative consequences for them, and I am, very much not looking forward to that thesis being tested
I think we're genuinely flirting with a societal rupture and I'm not sure I want to experience that

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Congressional Rep Magic The Gathering (MTG) is a lot smarter than people give her credit for. I'm not saying she's good (she's not) but lots of the focus on her being singled out as an idiot is rooted in sexism. At least half the GOP caucus, Mike Johnson included, is way dumber
