when amazon started it was a marketplace where your local store & drop shippers could now sale nationwide. then 'AMAZON'S CHOICE' popped up 1st & stopped that. they dont want small biz to thrive & this is one move to help the monoplization of all. they want those small owners back at work for them

this is how reality & info get warped. there was NEVER any religious violence. that group attacks & robs all ppl. but trump said there is, so they have to pretend they are addressing his bs or get a missile in the capitol. they never called the mob a christian gang doing religious violence, right?

OMG how did I miss this. LAST DAY people!

having watched this stuff since the 80's is flustrating b/ ive seen the same plays run so many times successfully. NO MATTER which party has the Congress neither limits the POTUS in war. they all say they will, but when the vote happens, the uniparty forms like voltron & the answer to war is YES!

The notion that tariffs are being borne by foreign governments is dying — quickly. 🇺🇸 $TREE

after Roe, the US government paid to make her and Kavanaughs neighborhood into a gated community to stop protestors from being able to get anywhere near enough for them to hear any 'hostility' & it maintains a security perimiter there, to this day, at our expense. this idiot has never faced anything

pretty sure the severnce package that Cucker signed had a clause fox doesnt talk abt him and vise versa. i was expecting him to go hard on them after he was fired but he has been mum. very strange unless that clause exist for both to not speak of the other after such a long relationship

why is china having a boat a challenge to us? who are our boats a challenge to and why?

it would be a better more helpful graphic if they but several of the last full years up like the spaghetti type chart to show that crime, esp violence ALWAYS goes up in the summer and then falls into the fall before rising into the holidays, happens every year. and it would show falling stats too

Continuing claims continue to drift up. No surge here either, but definitely consistent with the idea that unemployment is gradually rising, and that it's getting harder to find a job.

We did get *some* data today: Jobless claims increased slightly in the final week of October. But the four-week average actually fell. Still no sign of a surge in layoffs in these numbers. #NumbersDay

Gov Hochul would be a republican in any other state except CA i guess. she only runs as a dem cause its impossible to be in gop statewide and win. The dems will live to regret not challenging and removing her. She will be the reason NY doesnt become the example of how a well run dem state could be

It's fascinating. The deficit of one sector emerges as the surplus of another. Basically, 30% of wealth is held by the top 1%, 67% by the top 10%, and just 2.5% by the bottom 50% of households. One sector rises to the extent the others sink. Not politics. Just accounting.

JPMORGAN: “.. today’s report from Challenger .. showed a surge in announced job cuts to 153k — the highest level since Covid — up from 54k in September. We are hesitant to place too much weight on these data, but it is one of the more downbeat signals to come during the current data drought.”

i disagree with this. there are so many ways to show the inequality of this econmy, but just know this, you can show ppl are the charts &infographics you want, but if their own personal economy is BAD & then you tell them these are the good times, it only depresses them, making them feel left behind

3M more ppl watched the week7 Bills/Chiefs game. it was good ratings, for baseball.

Spring 2027 either AOC or if she chickens out, someone else will run& beat him. airlines have less baggage & everyone OUTSIDE the senate is dont w/ him

Earlier this week I came across a book with this dedication page (from 1938).

If guaranteeing essentials sounds radical in 2025, it speaks to how far we’ve drifted from democracy’s core promise. Markets will not save democracy. My new piece for @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Essentials like housing, food, energy, & childcare are not ordinary commodities. When their prices surge, they trigger redistribution shocks. Our research identifies these sectors as key drivers of inequality. Link: scholarworks.umass.edu/entities/pub...
