This is quite a message for the Democratic Party to send to young women working in politics. Party of women? Pretty ugly stuff.

@Timodc How do these people exist through life thinking “but what about trump!?!” Every waking moment of their day? … sad existence

It’s easy to think this way before kids because you think your social spending habits will continue- travel as much go out as much etc. reality is once the kids come you (happily) give all that up. It’s why most people are afraid to have kids they don’t want to give up their lives of extravagance, they want to do both

What about stewarding more direct payment accounts for adults as well? Say under a certain income level where wealthy individuals can directly gift to struggling Americans ? The tax the rich idea doesn’t work because we know it won’t make it to everyday Americans effectively but direct payments will. I feel like most ultra wealthy know this and would feel more motivated to share wealth with the most disadvantaged Americans if they knew it was going directly to them versus Washington. And it can help shut up the socialists

This is very simple math for very simple people.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

There is very simple math behind the need to tax billionaires. Billionaire wealth is increasing at an accelerating rate vastly outpacing the overall rise in GDP. This means that their wealth is not growing because the whole pie is growing. Their wealth is growing at your expense and the trend is accelerating. If you are not a billionaire and you and your children want to own things, this is your fight.

@kangminlee The obsession with abortion at all costs might be the worst manifestation of TDS. They have become genuinely obsessed with making abortion as prevalent as possible because of Roe v Wade overturning (ironically nothing to do with Trump himself)

@Geiger_Capital Guy is such a pussy it’s remarkable

[Doc @DrBitcoinMD]

having a baby is awesome

can't believe I seriously considered not having kids until a couple of years ago

@paulg The VC perspective on immigration is confined to their experience with hyper successful and brilliant immigrants. Which is the extreme edge case for immigrants. Everyday Americans shouldn’t have to outcompete the rest of the planet to live a dignified life

This story deserves a Pulitzer.

If I hear another Boomer conservative bitching about Gen Z ordering DoorDash I’m going to become a communist. It’s true their grandparents always cooked homemade meals. But that’s because grandma stayed at home and grandpa had a union job and nobody could reach him after 5. They had a house with a full kitchen and 3 kids by 25. Meanwhile half of Gen Z men are forced to compete with the entire population of South America for some 12 hour long shift HVAC job that barely pays the rent. They’re 30 and nobody cooks for them because they can’t find any women who’ll marry them when they can’t even afford a starter home in the ghetto. The other half of Gen Z men are busting their ass competing with the entire populations of India and China for some 70 hour a week powerpoint job that asks them for updates on the slides at 3AM. They can’t find anyone to cook for them either, because every women around them is convinced that being a mother and cooking for a man is beneath them because they’re gonna save the world when they become VP of Marketing at MegaCorp in 20 years.

It feels like a humiliation ritual to fill out your entire medical history and upload your insurance card before a doctors visit, for them to tell you to just do it again in front of them when you get there

[MiamiMiguel @MiamiMiguel]

@chamath But also not for nothing parents are partially to blame here. Raised soft kids and dumped them into schools that indoctrinated them into becoming zero agency losers and are shocked they didn’t inherit some magic work ethic gene from dad

[MiamiMiguel @MiamiMiguel]

Bottom line is they were told/convinced that getting a super important super meaningful degree at these elite Uni’s, was going to lead to them having a ton of purpose and value in society. Then when it comes to reality after graduation, there ultimately is no value placed on obscure liberal arts degrees. So those people feel betrayed and cosplaying as communists and philanthropists is their way of finding “value” in their life.

[Daniel S. Loeb @DanielSLoeb1]

Many of the loser children of my wealthy friends who see no way to emulate the success of their parents, have gravitated toward Mamdani-ism and found community and a sense of purpose by rejecting capitalism as a way to cope with their own failure. Please note they have nor however rejected their trust funds or living subsidies while pursuing their “passions” in NGOs, dabbling in the arts or trying to invest their parents money in “VC”.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I feel like this video should get wide dissemination so regular Americans can understand just how 🦇💩 crazy our law schools (and the legal profession more broadly) actually are.

The dude on the right is Samuel Moyn, a respected, tenured professor at Yale Law School.

Watch this short video please.

One of the tenets of most forms of totalitarianism, including Marxism and Naziism, is to destroy the family as the basic building block of society and replace it with the State.

Moyn is suggesting that parents should not have the right to speak for their children, and that third parties--presumably those chosen by a government led by evildoing "experts" like Moyn--should speak on behalf of those children instead.

This is not a new idea. Hitler embraced this idea. Stalin embraced this idea. Mao embraced this idea.

Yet this is a respected professor at what is generally considered the premier law school in the USA.

We have a deep and troubling problem in America's legal profession, and we must find ways to reduce the power and influence of lawyers generally.

I say this as a lawyer myself.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

I underestimated how emotionally committed much of the press is to rallying around Anthony Fauci. His reputation is more important to them than anything - more important than preventing the next biodisaster. This is stronger than Muellermania

[zeynep tufekci @zeynep]

However, we learned there is incontrovertible proof of a conspiracy to cover up and deny the possibility it may well be a lab mishap, orchestrated from the highest levels of the scientific establishment and a self-serving group of scientists who deliberately misled the public.
