Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.

@Matthuber78 We can have a moral, and also purely materialist, commitment to confront climate crisis, which is in the interest of global working class, and non-human nature. And then we can talk about the best strategy to achieve that, which might not always involve explicit climate rhetoric.

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.

I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.

Out in October with @randomhouse.

Leaning lots from Stephanie and the Baltimore Neighborhood Exchange in this session. They’ve enabled 14,000 people in Baltimore to invest in local businesses - an awesome win.

This is a great win for public transit in Ohio City!

This is the way! Between Detroit and Monroe is the most important part of the corridor to get bus lanes. Without it, the whole project is virtually pointless.

The law that empowers Trump is Clinton’s, the paramilitary that Trump deploys was built by Bush jr and Obama. The war on drugs is half a century old. And it was Clinton who both militarized the border and turned “illegal alien” into a term of political art. So sure, Trump.

CPP crews are hard at work repairing the damage from last night’s explosion near W44th Street.

By almost every measure, the great state of Ohio is failing its people. We can either change direction, or keep going with all the failed and corrupt policies that are making life so tough for Ohioans.

The choice in this election—and the stakes — could not be more clear.

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits from fossil fuel profits: The richest of the rich.

Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%.

The Tooze tweet on solar/wind/batteries vs the rest prompted me to look into generation investment in China. Per @EIAgov, China added 34 GW of nuclear between 2014 and 2023 and 277 GW of solar in just 2024 (more than double the amount of total installed solar in the U.S.).

Notably, Mamdani's child care plan includes a home child care benefit option. Some very smart policy people in that campaign!

[Matt Bruenig @MattBruenig]

Might as well just get fully Hale-pilled than play around with this idea that it's possible to non-circularly determine whether any utility rate is "legitimate"

"I believe in the municipal ownership of all public service monopolies because if you do not own them they in turn will own you. They will rule your politics, corrupt your institutions and finally destroy your liberties."

Ken Silliman is out here on LinkedIn mixing it up with the Cleveland corporate class on Browns stadium. God's work.
