Democrat, republican, socialist, recovering Catholic, active cataholic. I am not an optimist, but I am a prisoner of hope.
Is there an economic theory or any published research on the relationship between investment bubbles and recession in the wider economy? I can't help thinking that the money that's being speculatively pumped into AI is choking off investment in all other parts of the economy but it's just a theory.

I followed McBride's "Calculated Risk" in the early 2010s. Not only he predicted the housing and financial crash, he also called the bottom of the recession correctly.
Now he says it's crypto which is going to bring the system down. Makes sense.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I never see this really emphasized in news about Senate votes so - reminder that the 45 Democratic senate seats represent something like 54% of the population.

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one."
We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures.
they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
