Dude with RFK Jr in his cabinet has the audacity to say Zohran's voice is grating....

FUCK ADS ALL MY HOMIES HATE ADS

US pioneering what I like to call "indirect eugenics" via austerity and denial of basic health/labor protections.

Same result as direct eugenics, just now with plausible deniability.

Imagine having all that corporate funding and still cutting costs on...stealing information.

We probably should be looking closer at Argentina's fallout to glean what we can actually expect. Starting to feel like Argentina was the beta-test for this similar to Chile with western neoliberal projects.

Neoliberalism may be going the way of Keynesian economics.

Welfare always struck me as a "capitalist solution to capitalist problems" that was unnecessary with a proper constitution and jobs guaranteed for all by the state; insofar as that is a warranted appraisal, a criticism of welfare is nothing more than a criticism of the various organs which keep capitalism on prolonged life-support.

That said, as China is market-socialism, it is concerning rhetoric from the leadership unless they are planning to implement a more USSR style economy in the not-so-distant future.

Sachs is pretty vocal about disagreeing wholeheartedly with US Foreign policy these days and praising China as the valid alternative from what I've seen. But he definitely had a "chicago boys" phase during the end of history.

He's either an actually decent guy or he's playing some 8-D Chess.

We hadn't heard from a relative who was in Asheville at the time of the flood until literally like an hour ago. Was fearing that they were among the casualty count, thank god thank fuck. Ahhhhhh

It is so patently oligarchic. Sucks that it seems like the election winners will be denied power ultimately but moments like this are a rare, great example of when participation in bourgeoise politics is a good tactic; this will make the French painfully aware of how farcical and hollow their flavor of "democracy" is and will radicalize any prole who is even partially paying attention.

Seems like very short-term thinking on Macron's part - but given the current geopolitical stage we're existing within he may realize that the mask is going to fall off regardless, there are precious few rationales to keep masquerading as an acolyte of democracy.

Would love to hear what the political climate is like in-person from a French comrade.
