This isn’t a capitalism problem; it’s a wacko anti-science head of HHS problem.
There has never been a better argument for destroying capitalism than "if we can't make money off vaccines, then you don't get vaccines."
Hear me out: Publicly-funded vaccine research and everyone gets the vaccines for free.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote than it is to buy a child-killing AR-15.
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

Arrogance, reticence, and malfeasance in the face of overwhelming evidence.
I will always consider it a failure of both legacy and new media that they did not understand who this man was, what he was capable of, and communicate to the public the threat he posed and what it would mean to reelect him. Not to let the public off the hook, but the media arrogance was staggering.
Trump is losing the war over ICE — both the culture war and the war in the streets.

BBC has ALWAYS been completely credulous when reporting official positions in basically anything, but especially American politics. They present as a major independent news organization but act more like Pravda.
Day after Alex Pretti killing I complained to BBC about presentation of White House statements and evidence as equivalent. Duty of balance doesn’t extend to complicity with clear lies, I said. BBC could and should report WH making false statements as a *fact of the story*. Today I got response …

It’s a nasty bit of politicking that Matthew Moroun was able to call fellow billionaire and US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to try to get him to stop completion of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which would be publicly-owned, but the story behind the Ambassador Bridge is still fascinating history.

Manuel Moroun, already a Detroit transportation mogul, bought the bridge from the Bower family and other investors (including Warren Buffett) in 1979 from the International Bridge Company, through his Central Cartage Company.

The Ambassador Bridge is owned by billionaire Matthew Moroun through companies he inherited from his father, Manuel Moroun. Moroun is a prolific Republican donor, so opening the Gordie Howe Bridge would hurt his business interests - and ability to donate.

Absolutely insane that the current bridge (the Ambassador Bridge) is privately-owned, but it is. Here’s a page that provides a fascinating bit of history about how the bridge was conceived and built:

The billionaire owner of a rival bridge called Lutnick, apparently to get Trump to block the Gordie Howe project. That's worse for Rs.
“We need a senator who is going to defend Michiganders, not be a rubber stamp for anything Trump wants,” Mallory McMorrow tells me.

Deeply sick people run this concentration camp. 😡
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

So the GOP Hatred Of Women Act has passed the House.
House Republicans (plus Henry Cuellar!) voted today for the Disenfranchising Married Women Act (i.e., SAVE Act).
But you wouldn't know that from going to the Clerk site because they just amended it to a unanimous, bipartisan bill to disguise it.

I think the “post scarcity” world will arrive around the same time as our “post-racial politics” (which political wags swore up and down in 2009 had arrived after Obama was elected President) does.
Flying cars are exactly the right comparison.
For the past 30 years, there have been promises that flying cars are just "two years away." You're seeing the same promises about AGI in the 2020s.
We're supposedly just two years away from AI that can do everything and deliver a post-scarcity world.

If there were going to be flying cars in 15 years that would be a pretty interesting article to read like once. "Damn that's crazy" etc. They wouldn't have an article every single day counting it down.

And none of this explains why the FAA initially shut down the airspace for 10 days.
The airspace has now been opened, as per CNN and NYT. Complete Omnishambles. If the FAA couldn’t guarantee safety of civilian flights before, why can they now?
