The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

Meta is planning to issue 40-year corporate bonds at a 1.4% premium to U.S. Treasuries to pay for all its AI spending…all as AI has yet to find a consumer use case that can turn a profit.

Reality: the working class is predominantly White women and racial minorities in the low wage service sector.

there was way way more going on in Chicago this last week than I could have anticipated or planned for—I would be heading back from one neighborhood ICE watch on the train and get notifications of an ICE sighting and then a protest and another protest. so many people really have each other.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
