After the Great Financial Crisis it became clear to me that weasel word “economists” either have no idea what they’re doing, or don’t actually serve the public. These days I’m leaning more towards the latter.

Not to say that the greats like Adam Smith were unqualified. But the legion of yes-men who have been drinking corporate kool-aid since Nixon don’t work for us. Their job is to create a convincing narrative as to why it’s OK to have a visibly unhealthy economy.

Don’t trust unnamed “economists” in the news. Look for specific people who have predicted what the economy actually does, and listen to them.

Do no harm != help everyone all the time

MAGA didn’t “take over” the GOP. This is who they always were, ever since we failed at Reconstruction. You didn’t really believe any of that tea party small government stuff, did you?

I sincerely doubt the ghouls love their children as much as they love power. This policy would deter support of Ukraine but not deter support of Israel.

2024: Now is not the time. If you want to build third party support, then you’ll need to do it between presidential elections.

2026: lol you believed that? Wait for a more convenient season.

The trick is to give no shits what those jerks think. We’ve seen what makes them cheer.

If they install anything significantly different then the USA will keep bombing them until a more cooperative dictator is in charge.

Local and representative primaries sure. What happened to Bernie Sanders in 2016 severely damaged the credibility of presidential “Democratic” Party primaries.

Exactly. I already don’t use the work wifi because they don’t need to know how much I use Lemmy while at work.

Sorry but I refuse to wear coats indoors ever. I can’t even stand long sleeves.

Clothes like these are great if one is a creepy nerd. One has an excuse good to go if caught.
