When did firing park rangers, scientists, and air traffic controllers become a better idea than simply taxing billionaires?

His turnaround of what now?
LinkedIn screenshot that reads: Updated 1 hour ago Trump feud threatens Musk's empire By Jake Perez, Editor at LinkedIn News Elon Musk's DOGE duties have weakened Tesla sales and market share globally. Now, as he publicly feuds with President Trump, Bloomberg reports Musk is grappling with "a rare convergence of threats: collapsing brand loyalty, shaky revenues and mounting legal and regulatory risk." And the spat is unfolding while Musk's empire seeks more funding. Still, he has the means to weather the storm, and investors note he has come back before, citing Tesla's rebound from near-bankruptcy in 2019 and his turnaround of X.

So. Much. Winning.
US tourism could fall by $12.5B By John Tomase, Editor at LinkedIn News a The U.S. tourism industry stands to lose $12.5 billion this year as part of the fallout from tariffs, travel bans, and diminished LGBTQ rights, Bloomberg reports. The U.S. is the only economy of 184 surveyed that projects a tourism decline, and air travel has already dropped 2%, with Air France, British Airways, and Lufthansa cutting flights. Closer to home, Canadians are expected to curtail their visits by 33%, and that could have serious repercussions: $6 billion in lost spending that eliminates 40,000 American jobs.

No way. Capitalism is a never ending fountain of fortune. We just need to give the oligarchs free reign, then we’ll all be better off.

</sarcasm>
"The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government along with the physical and social structures that sustained them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good and investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, ecosystem protection and health care would be sacrificed to feed the mania for short-term profit. These assaults would destroy the host." -Chris Hedges

I’ve never found a fakin’ bacon I like. Do you have a favorite?

Here’s our result. Not a bad first attempt. Didn’t make enough sauce for the amount of pasta. Otherwise pretty tasty!

There are overlapping filters of varying levels of dark and light at odd angles overlapping the image. In the upper left, yellowish/orange text reads: The Worst Friend, Susan Retondo, and hedgefire. In the bottom right bluish/white text reads: March 22, 7pm, live music, no cover, The Shaku Bar, 3448 NE Sandy.

There, fixed it for them.

Seriously, this is so insulting to the writers in my life. They work so hard to create something original.

I do love to complain about crappy accessibility/UX, but here’s a good example! Kudos to Hotels.com for making their unsubscribe link obvious and descriptive! 👏
