Farm boy from northern PA relocated to Maryland. Worked for decades for IBM. Now volunteering with Scouts America. I graduated from UPenn with a B.S. in Economics but I actually learned things while there, unlike Trump. Friend to all cats.
Kamala Harris thinks "titans of industry" will push back against Trump. Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Per Star Wars "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." These people care about one thing, and one thing only: their compensation. They would sell their own mother for a salary bump.

I just heard RFK Jr's views on vaccines described on NBC as "controversial". How about using "idiotic".

Oops, I meant to say "this gives Trump a chance to put another, less-qualified, WHITE male in her place" in my previous post.

All the media is tip-toeing around the attempted firing of Dr. Cook. Per CNN: "It is about controlling the Fed". Yes, that's part of it - the other, unsaid, part is that Dr. Cook is black and this gives Trump a chance to put another, less-qualified, male in her place.

Look, all the talk about reforms to our system are great and right on the money (subordination of the Senate, gerrymandering reform, etc) but the real problem we had in the 2024 presidential election was a racist, misoginist electorate. As @mcopelov.bsky.social says, "we could have had nice things."

I blame today's conditions on Bill Clinton. If he hadn't been such a slimeball in the White House, Gore would have won and we wouldn't have Roberts and Alito at Scotus. Some of the stench carried over to Hillary so we then got Trump and his band of Scotus nitwits.

Last summer I kept hoping Trump would live long enough to make it to November because once we got there I figured the American voter was smart enough to reject his entire platform. Hoo boy was I wrong about that one.

Let's tariff the @#$% out of everyone. It worked for Smoot and Hawley, so it's gotta work for us too!

Funny, the spirits industry doesn't seem to have one single word condemning Trump for starting this whole mess, only the nations responding. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/b...
US spirits industry warns of ‘debilitating’ retaliatory whiskey tariffs from Europe | CNN Business
The US spirits industry is bracing for pain after the European Union targeted American whiskey in retaliation against President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs.

The Eagles agree to visit the Trump White House - a disgrace in my opinion.

My opinion on why Trump won: (1) white people, men especially, voted for the incompetent white male rather than the competent black lady, and (2) 40+ percent of the populations thinks the sun rises in the west (per @mcopelov.bsky.social ) due to watching Fox News and Sinclair news.

My (unknown to him) mentor says that business leaders should be protesting. Yes, they should, but this is a group that cares about one thing: their salary (far above even their company). We haven't had patriotic leaders in business since the Watsons of IBM retired. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
This 💯. Total, comprehensive failure of <every> <single> set of societal institutions & actors right now. I'm a political scientist. I get that collective action problems are hard. But a lot of this is just simple cowardice right now. Get in front of microphones, in groups, & start speaking out.
Yes, true. Except, media's doing the same. Big business is doing the same. Universities are doing the same. All the institutions & leaders are failing us.

From Charles Sykes in The Atlantic: Biden's "chaotic exit from Afghanistan". Rubbish. It was an orderly withdrawal, done with military precision and honor. The alternative was more years of wasting personnel and resources, only to withdraw at a later date.
