@mtaibbi We already have "planned economics." It's obviously all geared toward rewarding and doing the bidding of the political duopoly's corporate donors at the expense of the vast majority of Americans. It's socialism for the few as MLK pointed out. That's our plutocratic system!
My show "Redacted Tonight" brought you anti-war, anti-corporate comedy every week for 8 years. Today it was ended in a matter of minutes by the US government war machine.

The people calling for crackdowns against “misinformation” are themselves the largest purveyors of it. They want Assange in jail and all popular critics of officialdom removed from the Internet, so they can have total freedom to lie about health policy, war, corruption, etc.
49-year-old NY Times editor Carlos Tejada died of a heart attack 24 hours after a Moderna mix-and-match booster. Instead of investigating and seeking justice, NYT omits this fact in his obit, the media looks the other way & his colleagues ignore it. https://t.co/aroLo9Ptq2
China reacts to criticism over #HongKong by raising case of Julian Assange, imprisoned for his truthful reporting and facing a 175 year sentence if extradited to the US
China: Where's the right to freedom of speech in the US? #FreeAssangeNOW#FreePress
$768 billion for defense just passed without a word. Bipartisan. $30 billion more than Pentagon asked for. Comes to $8 trillion over 10 years.
"Build back better" -- pre-K, childcare, paid leave, and climate -- would cost $1.75 trillion over 10 years. But nearly dead.
Why?
President Biden asked for a memo on his authority to cancel student debt in April.
It is now December.
The millions of Americans who were promised student debt relief deserve answers. We need student debt cancellation.

Meanwhile, the NYT Editorial Board finally got around to condemning the Biden Admin's prosecution of Assange, but did so in the most mealy-mouthed way: avoiding use of his name in the headline, heaping praise on Biden's "courage," and even offering justifications/mitigation.
Jimmy Dore speaks to Glenn Greenwald on Julian Assange and criminalizing journalists: @ggreenwald: "they want to create a precedent that will criminalize journalism itself" #FreeAssangeNOW@jimmy_dore
Efforts to extradite & prosecute journalist Julian Assange exposes the hypocrisy of establishment’s mission to “spread democracy.” If Biden Admin truly believed in democracy (including freedom of the press), he would immediately drop the charges against Assange. #FreeAssange
Julian Assange has been put through hell because of his services to investigative journalism.
Fearless journalists are very easy to identify. They are the journalists who speak in his defence.
Those silent are not journalists. They’re servants to the establishment.
National Union of Journalists:“For Julian Assange to be extradited...would be a hammer-blow to free expression. Any journalist who thought they might upset a US administration will reasonably fear that they too could be targeted by a judicial snatch squad" https://t.co/dkGqKuIumj
