Says the party of "Restrict supply, subsidize demand"
“It’s because of your major donors…”
What we need is people who actually write up policy proposals. It doesn't matter whether you have a senate majority, you need to write the policy proposals now. What actually changes things is societal pressure, and you only build that up by showing that another way is possible, which you show by writing down how exactly you would run an alternative society. For which you have to write down policy proposals.
The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2029 runbook proves they don’t know what they’re doing.
The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2028 runbook proves that they're not even trying.
Yeah, but not because they’re malicious, just inept.

Remembering sept 10th, 2001, hearing about 2.3 trillion missing...
... doubting Trump's an architect, nor even operator, nor even agent, and continuing to presume merely asset.
Even a flat robin-hood style redistribution of all billionaire wealth gets us each a few grand, utterly dwarfed by how much richer we each and all are with the emancipatory technologies no longer being suppressed and inventors no longer being "disappeared".
Keep reminding the billionaires even they are better off with prolific provisioning of emancipatory technologies... no longer having to watch their back.
Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance that no one is trying to take yours?
Spaceships for everybody.
No cull necessary. Nor any billionaire ploys to pit us against each other. Nor any perpetuation of slavery and oppression via manufactured scarcity, nor the lethal mayhem pantomime of resource wars.
Remember a third of a year before that (^ sept 10th 2001), the disclosure project conference at the press club? And the free energy conferences around the same time. ... Before they initiated the cascade of contingency plans for mass distraction to allow the continuation of the PNAC's hegemonic jingoistic global domination plans (and the plans within that, and within which the PNAC sits) [the fake [but still lethal] terrorist thing, pandemic thing, [burgeoning] nuclear war, [upcoming] alien invasion, with side dishes of climage disaster [weather warfare weapons] throughout and economic/energy collapses peppered around]. We were headed for skipping ahead to the star trek future, and better. We still could sublimate to that. As I recall from those free energy conferences, there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents secreted by the year 2000 according to patent office whistleblower Tom Valone.
We have so much headroom, without the crooks keeping us down.
Imagine if we obsoleted the billionaire producing paradigm, reminded all would be billionaires that even they are richer in ending manufactured scarcity and embracing abundance.
No more billionaires, nor their puppets of hate.
Keep on dreaming while learning to learn, y'all. :)
... or so I aspire manifest.
... so much headroom...
What i find intersting and encouraging is that saying what you just said 20 years ago people would completely dismiss any line of thinking like this. Now, if i said something similar to someone in an elevator they would engage and want to discuss it. Change might actually be possible if minds were more open to the headroom possible.
Reminds me of this:
Is this even authentic? Link?
It's both? He does claim to be a billionaire.
I think his crypto scam actually made that true. Millions of people are willing to spend money to prove their loyalty.
Never argue with someone whose job depends on not being convinced.
This was a joke, right? Good one
Yeah, it's Trump, everything will be fine when he dies!
Trump could never have been elected without you hacks, your corruption made him possible. He could never be in any position of authority without decades of unbridled rot to pave the way... if he's the monster, you're the Dr. Frankenstein who created him.
Good job
Donald Trump is literally everything wrong with The United States of America distilled down to a person and squeezed into an ill fitting suit. All the self obsession, anti-intelectualism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, paedophilia, war mongering, greed, hate, and cruelty rolled into the ugliest person you'll ever know. Did I miss anything?
You missed corrupt, self dealing
Technically you covered this, but the narcissism rolled up with many of those other things, speaks to abuse, trauma, and how he has always been in an environment where getting professional help was never an option. So now he's everyone's problem. Passing the buck on abused people is far too normal around here.
I'm not saying he's due a redemption arc (burned FAR too many bridges by now). Rather he's a symbol of mental health around the US too. He's a shambling husk made up of pure psychological damage, making every day an exercise in inflicting uncountable numbers of people with more of the same. And all of it was preventable if there weren't so many institutional and social failures to address it, at every step in their life.

They're billionaires because of monetary policy, Elon Musk and Tesla wouldnt be worth so much if inflation didnt reward risky assets and provide an unlimited runway to profitability. We bid up asset prices until prices rise 2% a year; prices that exclude assets like housing, subjective hedonic downward adjustments of goods prices, and substitutions/shrinkflation.
Blame the rich if you want, I blame the unelected central bank thats debasing your paycheck with 7% annual money supply growth, QE, and bailouts. If the money supply didnt grow every year you wouldnt need to beg your boss for a cost of living adjustment that doesnt match reality. Our parents ate free range grass fed meat, we eat corn fed factory farm troglodytes, and our children will eat highly processed imitation meat slop, and the CPI will mark no difference between the three.
Tesla would be worth basically nothing if the federal government weren't artificially propping them up by banning Chinese EVs.
Shit company, bullshit valuation, shit products

It's because Republicans and neoliberal democrats (the majority of them) take their marching orders from the billionaire class.

It’s not in the Democratic Leadership’s interests to not cozy up to the true ruling class. However they’re a bit better than the alternative.
