Great article. Not “great“ like insightful, or thoughtful… But great like scales fell from my eyes. I’m saving the rest for later to savor your take on Anthropic and its CEO, etc.
A book I’d like to see is how the United States has fallen so far and so fast from its pinnacle in the Marshall plan to now— and suggestions for how to fix it— from the author of Non-Zero.
I think you’re confusing the current dysfunction in America, and the forces causing it. The super wealthy have captured the executive, the legislature, and the courts. And they’re engaging in a massive transfer of power and wealth to themselves —and from the rest of us.
This epoch isn’t like the 30’s in Germany or USSR, it’s like the United States in the 1890s and the Robber Barons who also bought vast power to accelerate their wealth accumulation and hold down the rest.
The cure, if it happens, and I think it will, it has to come from “the people“ to finally discover their latent power and figure out how to exercise it with a new generation of politicians—which seems to have possibly started with people like James Tararico and Zohran Mamdani.
The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom.
Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power.
I went on @joerogan’s show to bridge the divide and build a coalition big enough to take power back.
Dems and other resisters: the time to go on and on about how shocking Trump and MAGA are--it's a broken record. Stop with the whining. Start fighting back with the objective of removing and fully punishing the law breakers for what they're doing.
It's going to be a hard road, but nothing as hard as Washington and the Founders faced in 1776 in removing their king.
@RealSkipBayless , you nailed the winner going back to before the season. Congrats! But you are MISSING the. possibly BIGGER story: the total incompetence of the QB of the decade in his biggest ever game. WHY???? inquiring minds want to know
