Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I do really think these folks are underestimating how bad the AI backlash can get if the industry needs a bailout

So apparently, the US Gov, in their most recent series of dog whistles, are pulling LOTR references and are outright saying that their fascist reign of terror is akin to protecting the Shire. Absolutely fucking not. The comparison is a straightforward dogwhistle, don't let them confuse you.

Yet another example of anti-communism as an explicit propaganda tool of fascism.
The cold war embedded anti-communist ideology throughout American culture, so many folks have some brainworms about Marxism.
as an Anarchist, i encourage you to work through those now. solidarity is how we win.

It's interesting how people who use genAI will always offer excuses for why in their case it's ok, and how this rationalization *exactly* mirrors how they deal with fascism.
Almost like genAI is an instrument of fascism and selecting/softening psychologically vulnerable targets for recruitment.

This is true—Bessent owns $25 million of farmland in North Dakota—and a reminder of why farm bailouts are nothing more than a giveaway to feudal lords who demand the government grossly distort agricultural economics to make their tax haven "farms" even more valuable to them.

The constitution isn’t a suicide pact, but at this point republicans and democrats have fundamentally contradictory ideas about what would constitute suicide. Basically, democrats think allowing Trump to rule as a dictator would be national suicide and republicans think the opposite.

US government shutdown threatens the spending power of Congress
As Republican and Democratic lawmakers trade blame for the U.S. government shutdown, some have begun to worry that the impasse is ceding their authority over federal spending to an increasingly assertive President Donald Trump.
