Think of how far Democrats have fallen on economics since then.
If this was the Dem program today, they’d be winning presidential elections by 15 points (& they wouldn’t have to throw anyone to the wolves to do it).

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

This isn't remotely hard.
Either lean into the fan theory that "James Bond" is a cover that gets passed from agent to agent, or just start setting these back in the 1960s when a character like Bond made a little more sense.
There. Mail me my check.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

There's a book to be written on the places these companies choose. Meta and Amazon are not investing tens of billions in North Louisiana because they respect the local population. Quite the opposite. And they prefer that there's no critical local journalism or anyone to write that book.
Microsoft and Google say data centers will create thousands of jobs in Chile, but an analysis of permit filings by @restofworld.org shows only a small number of potential positions — and most are not skilled IT jobs, but those in security and cleaning. restofworld.org/2025/data-ce...

It is much better to heavily subsidize poorly managed private corporations with no public accountability instead of having publicly owned airlines with no profit incentive and full democratic accountability. The free market provides, you see
Shouldn't the airlines pay the air traffic controllers? (Not directly but through fees.) Their whole business is 100% reliant on these government employees!
