@nytimes@mikiebarb Paywalling podcasts is killing your paying and non-paying audience alike. I have an active subscription (going on 12+ years) and I cannot listen to your podcasts because account linking is broken on @Spotify and @ApplePodcasts.
@BlueTeamJK@IanColdwater@AmyPearlman Yeah, you’re in Canada though eh?
$1750/mo is the cost of *one* toddler in daycare. Come south of the border and see what you can find.
@TimSurvivedThis @Ali_E_Rey @geoff_34221@RyanAFournier Look at this fine specimen of a human pulling themselves up by their own lucky bootstraps!
If only everyone had access to cheap uni, livable blue collar wages, and the benefit of cheap capital to acquire a hard asset and hold it through massive inflation!?
Have always felt slow and kind of mentally clumsy when learning a new thing. Then once I get it, I really get it and kind of leapfrog people who appeared to be picking it up more quickly to begin with

The problem is corporatism and corruption. Those problems do not follow party lines.
History has shown a weighted distribution, but we must be vigilant on all fronts.

Agree. Partial repeal of Glass-Steagall in ‘99 and easy credit of the 80s 90s were major factors the financial collapse.
Clinton signed Glass-Steagall and it was sponsored by three Rs (Graham, Leach, Billey).
Unaddressed problems made worse in subsequent years.

2007-2008: we realize the house is made of cards and it’s on fire. TARP TARP TARP.
2009: Obama admin continues fixing. Money printer go brrrrr for a while.
Both signed bailouts. Neat reality you live in though.
@shitcoinlord@EmmaRincon@bopinion 07’ bailouts followed 8 yrs of Bush. Obama left Trump a solid economy starting to ease up on QE. Then came Trump/McConnell’s corp tax cuts and sent everyone back to rev up the money printers again.
Helps to track actual timelines of events on a finer scale than POTUS elections.
@PopFizzi @SenatorIvy @BoredBolshevik You are being controlled by the memes of production.
The control you give away can be taken back. The choice is there if you choose to make it one.

@EmmaRincon@bopinion Today’s inflation is 15 years of quantitative easing (aka printing money) driven by right-wing fiscal irresponsibility. Corporate tax breaks, corporate bailouts (‘07, ‘20), and “COVID-relief” of stock buybacks instead of employee wages.
What alternate reality do you inhabit, eh?
