That’s nasty. But perhaps you could link to, and comment upon, that recent NYT piece on financialization and the Econ Herd. Certainly that’s of a piece with the damage to our society being done by the owner of X and the AI Investor Herd.
Several people pointed out to me last week that I’m in the X-algo dungeon. I suspect it’s due to me linking to my Substack. Links are disfavored on here but Substack especially.
Any economist conversant in “political economy” over the past two generations knows this.
Financialization is just Epsteinization spelled backwards. Or the reverse. Class culpability. Not of the one percent but of the tenth of that. It’s not easy to wrap one’s head around this.

That’s a convenient convention but may not square with sentiment.
Alternative? Like some integral?
@jeffjarvis Just to add one thought (though I turned my 90-year-old uncle on to the kindle edition as well): I also am tutoring suspended/homebound highschool students in Connecticut, and all those previous formats you mention are lost to them. Their education has been completely Chromebookd
Goddamnit, you chickenshit, turncoat Democrats. The voters gave you a mandate and a spine on Tuesday and you're about to blow it. NO!. This is your one chance to protect healthcare. Stop!
