the problem with nvidia/ai doom analysis is that there simply isn't anywhere close to the same structural channels as there were between credit debt obligations/swaps and the real economy. immediately comparing this the great financial crisis is a category error and a failure of historical metaphor.

President Trump nominated the most unqualified cabinet in American history.

His anti-DEI crusade is a smokescreen to turn Americans against each other while his billionaire backers take over the government and install their own political loyalists.

Strongly recommend The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex by Incite! Women of Color Against Progress.

As always, if purchasing isn't on the table for you, I recommend your library - if they don't have it, suggest the purchase <3
