@Ihatef23 @abel_mak_07 @brad_polumbo @ryangrim They are far left populists

@abel_mak_07 @brad_polumbo @ryangrim I would say they critize who ever in power Krystal and Ryan where probably some of the harsher criticizers Of democrats and they have on establishment democrats and bash them for their weakness, but the new guy Matt is also a democrat so their Friday show usually just 3dems

it is funny they didn't know what color to go with for Breaking Points. Settled on light blue.

@TheLongInvest @Micro2Macr0 @realDonaldTrump Bro you never go full retard

@Micro2Macr0 @realDonaldTrump Explain what threat Iran is to the US? Bombing their economy and infrastructure for Israel The US is now puppet

I like @realDonaldTrump more and more every day. 😆

@Kross_Roads Moving into a role that uses Foundry. Its special. Nothing like it

$PLTR Burry called Palantir an "AI wrapper." He was wrong. It's a tech company wrapper around a merch store. 😉

@fox5sandiego Geez idiots like these are why we can’t have nice things

A controversial battery storage project proposed for a North County community has been withdrawn, marking a significant win for residents who had opposed the plan for years. fox5sandiego.com/news/local-new…

@LibTheoPodcast Oppressor vs oppressed is antithetical to the gospel

There is no socially neutral death of Jesus. God chose to become incarnate as a colonized Middle Eastern man on the outskirts of a European Empire. Because this man was subversive, the state assassinated him. This is the Christian God. On the side of the oppressed until the end.

@LibTheoPodcast Yes we all remember Jesus advocating for the state to take over the means of production

"Nowadays in Central America, rulers would accuse Jesus of being a communist in order to assure his death at the hands of the government security forces (the secret police), the death squads, or counter insurgency military forces." --Guadalupe Carney

@CalOrganize Ya that’s the dumbest proposal I’ve seen in a while. Well done

Tax the rich to fund housing, street repairs, fresh food access, & afterschool programming in Los Angeles! If you're an LA registered voter, help us get the ✨Overpaid CEO Tax✨ on the ballot by signing! #TaxGreedToPayForWhatWeNeed #PeopleOverBillionaires

@edels0n He’s been floating that number for months

Days after Trump said the Iran war would end “very shortly,” his administration is now requesting a $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027 — the largest in U.S. history

@lapinchedarcy @SlopHq lol delusional

@jrcrawf_ @SlopHq and you are why people are starting to hate tech and are trying to find low tech solutions and touching grass!

waymo’s entire expansion map is red states. texas, florida, arizona, georgia. turns out if you just let people build things they build things. dc has been doing community process about a study about a report about a framework for a permit for six years. abundance is a choice.

@lapinchedarcy @SlopHq You are why we can’t have nice things

@SlopHq guess what - many people hate being guinea pigs for poorly functioning software. this was pushed upon us without our consent because of our state's lax laws and oversight

@DkALLLDay @MayorToddGloria People aren’t forced to live there. Maybe focus on your own life and less how others live theirs

@MayorToddGloria Ugly tract housing w paint slopped on where you’ll be a permanent wage slave paying rent the rest of your life.

This is what happens when we #BuildMoreHomes. San Diego saw a 5.6% drop in 1-bedroom rents and a 7.5% drop in 2-bedroom rents year-over-year. My administration will keep pushing to add supply and lower housing costs. #ForAllofUs kpbs.org/news/economy/2…

@RightOnNewsX @MayorToddGloria Cry harder. People want them

@MayorToddGloria Yeah microunits with no parking are likely dropping. You allowed way too many to be built. Nobody wants them.

@ValWanders_Ai @MazzucatoM @rodrikdani Founders and CEOs capture a small fraction of the value they create

@MazzucatoM @rodrikdani Socialized risks, privatized rewards. Without equity stakes and conditionalities, public investment becomes billionaire subsidy. Who benefits?

Tesla received billions in government loans, tax credits and subsidies, making Elon Musk the world's richest person. The public? No equity stake, no profit-sharing, no guarantee of affordable access. My working paper with @rodrikdani has now been published in Industrial and Corporate Change. It explores the conditionalities—profit-sharing, reinvestment requirements, knowledge transfer—that can ensure industrial policy delivers public value, not just private wealth. [LINK IN NEXT POST]

@Bit111111 @Starcourse @MazzucatoM @rodrikdani Yes

@Starcourse @MazzucatoM @rodrikdani Perhaps. Is everyone getting an EV? Are Teslas actually attainably affordable for most taxpayers? Does everyone directly benefit from the satellites being launched in a way that is proportional to the costs of investing in them? I think there's still a level of imbalance there.

@BulembuSwazi @MazzucatoM @AdrianSaville @rodrikdani Why didn’t others succeed when they had the same subsidies available to them?

@MazzucatoM @AdrianSaville @rodrikdani Which is exactly why he succeeded.

@oren_cass You can just lie

The problem with economists asking for a takesy-backsy on their predictions of tariff doom is that it implies they would have had favorable predictions about the tariffs had they known the full trajectory. Who thinks that, if you had told economists a year ago what was going to happen with tariffs, they would have said "sounds reasonable, growth will probably tick up and inflation down, manufacturing demand and productivity will rise and sentiment will improve"? Did I miss all of the economists who have been saying since June that now the tariff level looks OK? The reality is they missed even on the basic mechanisms: the dollar didn't appreciate; the retaliation didn't occur; the administration successfully leveraged tariffs into favorable deals and commitments. Of course the models spit out the wrong answer. Yes, it's embarrassing for a field when confident predictions fail. But it's way more embarrassing when the reaction of practitioners to the failure is to deny a problem exists.

@masonmennenga @InspiringPhilos This is why Mason is the best. He is honest that progressive Christianity is doing all the same things they hate from conservatives but with the roles reversed. Deconstruction 🙃

Progressive Christians are like, “I don’t hate conservatives, I just portray them as hateful bigots.”

@TheLongInvest @TedHZhang Interest on the debt alone is more than all military spending

@TedHZhang Cut the military spending by -50%

There are three options: 1. Raise Taxes 2. Cut spending 3. Somehow outgrow the debt

@blubdoodle @JoePostingg Autonomous cars will save thousands of lives but let’s let people die cuz rich people bad. Genius

@JoePostingg Don't want autonomous cars developed by big tech oligarchs who absolutely do not have our well being in mind

We cannot adopt life saving automated cars because we have to protect low productivity jobs is perhaps the worst argument I have ever heard

@FeministOnMarx The AI slop must be stopped

This goes straight into my reading list 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
