What’s behind Silicon Valley’s psychotic break with reality?
Welcome to Apocalypse Capitalism.
As one prominent tech VC put it: “Maybe if you aren’t trying to destroy the world, you’re not trying hard enough.”

What an easy governing philosophy Republicans have. Just blame every problem on Biden, Democrats, and migrants. Then you never have to solve anything and can blame all your failures on other people. This is especially useful when you are grossly unqualified for your position.

MAGA is engaged in the greatest heist in global history.
They are ruthlessly stealing the accumulated wealth of the US Treasury and the American people.
Literally, the haul will soon be counted in the trillions of $$$!

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

If Republicans took 10% of the time and effort they’ve spent covering up the Epstein files towards working on a healthcare plan they might be able to put one out for the first time in decades. But clearly covering up Epstein was more important to them.

Yup. A rapid shift to solar/wind is unquestionably the right decision both as a matter of national interest and economic prosperity, including among the rich. Heck, it's essential for the proposed AI economy.
They oppose it nonetheless because they fear disruption to their political/social control.

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

In Trump's first term, he was directly responsible for 25% OF ALL US DEBT acquired – going back to the beginning of the country. In the last 9.5 months, he's added another $4 Trillion to the national debt.
Scream this at every Republican who claims they're the party of fiscal responsibility.
