So POTUS reposted a conspiracy 'theory' that Biden was killed in 2020 and replaced by clones and robots.
Why on earth would we (and I'm not taking responsibility for this or Jewish space lasers) give a robot an old man shuffle and stutter.

PepsiCo released its “Revised” Sustainability goals last week. They’re a good snapshot of where corporate sustainability stands today. It’s complicated.

The 'big' deal with China will drop tariffs from 145% to 30%. The markets jumped.
Ok, but imagine if there were no tariffs and they announced a 30% tariff across the board on China.
The markets would have hated it.
So you do something insane, drop back to just stupid, and you're a hero?

Comparative advantage or greed. Tomato Tomahto.
Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Anyone have any ideas for the logic behind the administration gutting investment and grants to health and cancer research.
I can come up with some logic for their cruel cuts to aid ('pull yourself up by your bootstraps you leeches'!) but do they not realize that they get cancer also?

Pete Buttiegieg is by far the best communicator in the Dem party -- and maybe the best I've ever seen.
If you missed this, it's basically how Dems should always message what their priorities are and how they make people's lives better.

What a shocker. He pulls back on a bunch of tariffs last minute and the market surges.

So, I guess everything we buy from China will cost twice as much in a day or two?
It's a good thing that we don't buy much from them.
Phew.

These arguments are deeply mirrored in the corp sustainability world. We just have to speak their language and we'll make real progress. In this reactionary time against DEI and climate action, I keep hearing we're 'back to the business case', as if we ever had a single nanosecond of break from it.

The important thing about the tariffs is that this administration is locking people up without due process and shipping them to a torture prison in another country.

I like to think I have a strong sense of empathy -- in the literal sense of putting myself in others' mental spaces, even if I'm disgusted.
Yet I'm struggling to 'get' some of the Trump/Musk admin's actions. What is the purpose behind, say, trying to destroy a seed vault?

The layoffs in the government continue at an unreal pace.
At some point, the small government obsessed people will realize that federal jobs are, you know, jobs...filled by real people who spend money in the economy.
Layoffs of this scale are great if you want a recession.
