Always in a sweat. Also, sorry, I never use that chat key. I'm not a good recipient for hot tips, or hotness of any type. Also, should say, if you support the Gaza genocide, don't reply to me. I'll block you. .
I knew someone who was a high Google functionary in Paris, and he had a great apartment in the Place des Vosges free - Google owned it. The question is: did these two management types own or rent their apartment - or was it part of the compensation package?

I have to question the frugality of a person retiring to... Switzerland. Yeah, I'm sure she inherited no money whatsoever. You know how poor Americans luv the Swiss alps.

Losses for whom? The discourse will soon be: we must not allow them to fail cause they are too big! We can only allow small fry to fail, cause the is a Darwinian good for our capitalist order! We coulda done renewable energy, and instead we choser - lets waste as much energy as we can afford!

Yes. Fair pay for top administrators, fair returns for investors, and a ceiling on wealth. If we want to save, say, capitalism, this is the only way.

To those Dems searching for their Maga I say: STOOPPPPPP! We want justice, we want equality, we want freedom. We don't want crypto-funded centrist trying to moderate the next round so they can still bathe in blood and billions. The rentier republic is a disaster. Do better.

You don't even have to be a socialist to want a cap on wealth. Without that cap, capitalism will be irretrievably distorted by rentseeking, and will not produce social goods - meaning eventually the government will have to plug the negative externalities. We've watched this play out. No mas!

This slogan is truly insane. We are supposed to believe that people with 400 billion dollars won't use that money to secure political power that is anti-democratic and self interested - and in fact will power an ineffective, monopolistic and socially deficient capitalism?

My test is a little higher. Was the writer nearly executed by a firing squad for revolutionary activity, which was called off at the last second by a pardon from the czar as he had his first epileptic seizure? Otherwise, why bother?

His next chapter should be as a dishwasher in a diner, but rich public wankers skip over that step. Impunity is killing us.

It raises the question of how useful executives are for work, period. Fire the ceos, use AI, give the frontline workers 400 percent raises, and we are done, here.

From Epstein through Binance through Juan Orlando Hernández, we know who the unpunished criminals are. And we have seen that, in both parties, the leaders are soft on crime to an amazingly corrupt extent.
Enough, people.

- because the Chaits and Yglesiases are promoted by the rich criminals class, go to conferences thrown by the rich criminal class, etc.
I wouild like to re-define "soft on crime".

and which runs through Trump's pardon machine. It affects us all much more deeply then the "cirmes" committed by the urban proles. But you will never hear the cry: "soft on crime" about the rich criminals, the crypto girfters, the Sackler circle, the speculative illegality of the Musks

They are ultra wealthy and they agree with Trump - are Trump's real base. The split between the donor-high end administrator class and the rest of the university/college has become very clear. I guess the question is: should we stop making these donations tax deductive? Answer: yes.

Its hilarious and indicting that China has basically turned to solving the energy problem by making better and better solar and the U.S. has solved it economy problem by pumping up a speculative market around sloppy and wasteful data centers which the populous pays for in higher energy bills.

Yes! Expert systems have their uses, but we've run a test, now, of ChatGPTness in the wild, and it was a disaster. Not a single good has come out of it, save that people who don't care if work is good or bad can now produce crappy work while they attend to their crypto accounts.

True, but they will always be aces to our corps of political reporters, who dream of the book and beng a regular on the Bill Maher show. We have to read the news through their mush and mash. This always happens with Republicans. Chris Matthews emoting about Bush's masculine smell is emblematic.

I recognize the joke, but I like the idea! Always turn left. A campaign slogan.

Definitely true, but on a small scale I think this happened in this off-election year. People emerge who say enough of this shit. The Dem leadership wants both to rile people up and make sure they don't at the same time press the Dem leadership to do anything. But the Obama era has passed.

Yeah. Yours is probable. The Dem leadership, braindead and eager to please the country club, would love to forgive and forget. All the while splashily nudging and planning really terrific wonky policy moves to move the working class up in the year 2040! But - if they are replaced?

Or any of his grifters do. This is where the fascist label fails to cover the traditional, massive corruption that Trump and associates should be jailed for. Drain the swamp, jail the swampcreatures.

Although, granted, as most of America gets poorer, the top 10 percent, making out like bandits, don't care. They do most of the buying. "The top 10 percent of U.S. households now account for nearly half of all spending, Moody’s Analytics recently estimated, the highest share since the late 1980s."

They go to their country clubs and everybody loves Megyn Kelly, raves over that latest Bari Weiss piece. Everybody buys the Nuzzi book. So, isn't that everybody? And then they find - nobody buys their magazine containing the Bari Weiss piece, the Megyn Kelly profile, the Nuzzi. A headscratcher.
