Alternative phrasing: "Amid bourgeoisie unease over the growing popularity of candidates vowing to serve the needs of the laboring class, the political failure of the only Democratic member of Congress to support Donald Trump's tariff policy is a warning to the party and about politics in general."

"Boss, the automated Oreo production machine has gone haywire and is crushing half our production. Nobody can figure out how to fix it."

"Check with Marketing, they'll know what to do."

Game knows game.

Those last five words were superfluous.

Sorry if you feel I've swerved into your lane, but I'll take a pass on the private lecture. :)

You guys have been such consistent naysayers about Mamdani. I take it you have some wealthy Wall Street friends who are terrified that they could start being taxed at the same rate as middle-class people?

His speaking style is extremely effective for dealing with Trump and the current GOP - he can joyfully eviscerate them without stooping to their schoolground bully level of discourse. Obama's style was an effective response to Bush/Cheney, and Mamdani's style is the perfect response to Trump.

Ah yes, if only Mamdani were more of a quisling, then everything would be fine. Brilliant analysis.

Love seeing this. I’ve used Ghost for years, they’re a great group of people.

I don’t understand why, but many white Chicagoans feel a constant need to assert that they are a cut above suburbanites. I’ve lived in several big US cities, and only in Chicago were people so thin-skinned about suburban-vs-urban distinctions.

Wow, you really struggled in math class, didn’t you.

🤣

I’ve met J a few times, and he’s a thoughtful man who isn’t afraid to look hard in the mirror. Good guy.
