The people who financialized (and then destroyed) the housing market in the mid 2000s did not care about building homes. Similarly this kind of sweaty shell game makes me very suspicious of the AI sales pitch.

Whomever supports the idea that the rich should get richer and the poor should get fucked doesn't get that a rising tide lifts all boats. Money loses it's value if it's hoarded by billionaires. It doesn't take an economist to know that our success or demise depends on our collective success.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?
