The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

I hadn't realised there was a design for the gargantuan planned 'Arc de Trump' in Washington DC. It's so gaudy! And much bigger than any other triumphal arch in the world (in fact, second only to Hitler's planned Berlin arch), so it will certainly stick out like a sore thumb.
