One good thing about Bari Weiss is that she articulates the worldview of the 0.00001% with total clarity, and thereby makes it obvious that they are dangerously out of their minds.

EVERYONE wants a serious wealth tax that starts to rebalance things. NO ONE believes politicians will allow that to happen.

I agree that ending the fossil fuel era is essential. And, when it comes to the housing safety and affordability crisis being exacerbated by insurance market failures, ending fossil fuels is not sufficient. Neither is what @chrislhayes.bsky.social proposes. climateandcommunity.org/research/pro...

Forget insurance incentives or disincentives. That’s a useless discussion. If fossil fuels aren’t banned, ASAP, nothing else counts as change or mitigation. The system will be gamed. Cc @moira.bsky.social

There was also a study done during the Nixon administration, that suggested that making transit free would actually save money, since the cost of fare collection typically was greatr than, or, a substantial part of the fare that was collected, and that cost would disappear.

as of the last Fed meeting, they have signaled a switch to easing to try to prop up the AI bubble. Ray Dalio is hinting that it will cause a debt crisis.

If a foreign power did to us what our elites have done to us over the past several decades there would be outrage. I don’t mean the corruption involved in our deindustrialization, but also degradation of our environment, our health, diet, pollution, etc.

Reactionary centrists (like @mattyglesias.bsky.social with his “Big-Ass Truck Energy”) always say that Democrats need to support expanding fossil fuels because it’s popular. They 👏 are 👏 wrong.👏 The U of Chicago shows, again, that the majority of Americans OPPOSE expanding fossil fuels.

She's certainly right that Democrats need a "strong Republican party."

In the same vein, I was shocked at how quickly Americans accepted as normal the Republican Supreme Court choosing the Republican candidate in the close 2000 presidential election. So this latest normalization ... unsurprising.

The rule of law means that civilians who commit crimes are prosecuted in courts of law with benefit of due process. Extrajudicial executions in international waters are an affront to our Constitution and the law of nations. It isn’t national defense. It’s murder.

This is what happens when you offshore the only way to rebel to the right-wing party.
