@StatisticUrban @PanasonicDX4500 I think that’s part of why it’s so bad. It sets you up for the nom in the election when your party is most likely to lose. Then after that you’re tainted.

@PanasonicDX4500 IDK. 6 of the past 11 VPs, or 54.5%, became their party's nominee for POTUS.
If you want to be President and don't particularly care about the Senate, it's by far your best single shot.

everyone on here drastically overestimates the value of being vice-president. it’s not something you give up a senate seat for if you’re under 55.

“Something like fascism allows the billionaires to keep hoarding wealth even as growth slows and the working classes get squeezed. And the result of that is what economists call a k-shaped economy.” open.substack.com/pub/undiplomat…

Gentle reminder that the wealthiest 10% of American households own approximately 87% to 93% of all U.S. stock market wealth. Hence the booming stock market juxtaposed against plummeting consumer confidence. Riddle solved.

@LewisCTech I find the latter a good thing, especially given that the output contains a border on the left

Because if it’s fast, I can spam until I get the right password and hack you.
This is a good thing.

If you’re curious why more people aren’t speaking up about the green card news, it’s probably this.

Now I understand better what courage Obama showed by defying the Israeli lobby, while Trump did a TACO just one day after pressure mounted on him, as Tehran and Washington were preparing to announce the deal

In 2015, under the Obama accord, Iran shipped ~97% of its highly enriched uranium to Russia. Trump abandoned that accord, allowing Iran to rebuild a much larger and more enriched stockpile, and his war of choice may not even produce as strong a result. trib.al/8QqN3Fy

I can’t believe how ahead of their skis everyone in the commentariat got on an Iran peace deal. You can’t extrapolate from a tweet at this point—it’s not credible. You all should know better
Van Jackson@RealVanJackson
Is there anything more than this GD tweet about an Iran peace deal? Trying to find something with terms or details; everyone seems to be extrapolating from this vapor

The good news is that expanding public services in the face of higher productivity is completely sustainable. We can inherently afford it, the real challenge is political

You can think of public childcare and eldercare as Baumol Cost Disease insurance. There are brief periods in our lives (primarily the beginning and end) when we need a lot of helping hands. Market incomes don't align, so paying a point or two of payroll tax is much preferable

@StatisticUrban That's not something you need to solve per se, but since it's downstream of society getting richer, we inherently have the resources to make sure those higher costs aren't a burden.

It certainly appears as though negotiations have entirely fallen apart at this point. Key issues seem to revolve around up front compensation to Iran in the form of sanctions relief and/or asset unfreezing, alongside Lebanon.
To be clear, it is entirely delusional for Washington to think Iran would temporarily open the Strait without significant up front compensation.

US President Donald Trump is backing away from the deal with Iran, likely under extreme internal pressure, an Al Jazeera reporter said on X citing two sources.
