James Junior has an inkling of a hint of a possibility of an aspiration to the intention toward the potential for a version of the concept of a plan.

1. All power to the people.

2. No taxation without reparations.

3. Love your neighbor as yourself.

4. Bless and do not curse.

5. More cheesecake.

I believe when white people ask black people for a “solution” to the “race problem,” aka white supremacy, most already know the answer on some level: a forfeiture of privilege. This is unsettling, so they ask us for some magical EASIER way that’s just about talking and hugging.

@hemultiplyus @damintoell @JoelWBerry Yep. See how the inflation-adjusted lines are flat? That's because overall price growth is pennies behind wage growth. & none of these charts show the growing wage inequality or the fact that prices are increasing more on high-value necessities (shelter, food , etc) than luxuries

@hemultiplyus @damintoell @JoelWBerry All of those numbers are positive and greater than income growth rates. Prices have only gone up in both absolute terms and relative to income since the first tweet. If it was unaffordable then, it's unaffordable now, only moreso.

@sSchlotz24 @Ike_Saul @bungarsargon 5. Because this is new, the legal implications are ambiguous. There's merit in having a public convo about how we want to address it as a society. We don't have to figure out whether/how to address trading stocks on insider tips. We already had that conversation. This one is new.

@sSchlotz24 @Ike_Saul @bungarsargon 4. Trump is president. Presidents are powerful. Power is dangerous if not constrained. One of the most imoprtant constraints on the power of elected officials is public awareness of corruption.

@sSchlotz24 @Ike_Saul @bungarsargon That doesn't answer the question.
"You think people are gonna pay $100k for access to a system that gives them no meaningful advantage in trading?"

No, that's not how any of this works. Those fractions of a second are worth a lot of money.

As President Trump re-authorizes the war in Iran, a reminder that this clip is now more than a year old, and the no-end-in-sight-war is to literally solve a problem that didn't exist before the war started:

IMHO, I think y'all got right up to the truth and then veered hard into "kids these days" and missed the whole point.

That said, I'm loving this format and I hope this experiment of yours succeeds 😉 if for no other reason than my own entertainment.

@pescami Listening to Bad Ideas and I was getting more and more frustrated until y'all got to "failure is not an option". But I don't think it's because the kids are soft silver-spooners. I think it's because failure really isn't an option, given growing wealth inequality.

I'm sitting on untreated hypertension right now because I haven't been able to access healthcare. It's not about emotional coping. I'm losing weeks off my life the longer I go like this.

I want better for my kids.

It's not about hurt feelings. It's about real, practical harm.

There are no words. ICE agents ate lunch at a small local Mexican restaurant in Minnesota, enjoyed their meal, then came back later that night as the restaurant was closing down and arrested the people who had served them.
