What do you think Fox News headlines would look like if Biden had panicked markets into a correction in a just couple of short weeks, and said he wouldn't rule out causing a recession if that's what it took to push his agenda?

Housing and grocery prices are two of the loudest and most consistent complaints from voters over the last few years and he really looked at that and said...let's massively tax building materials and food.
How far back do we have to go in US history to find a time when the mask was this fully off?

He truly doesn't care about anything other than hurting people he considers enemies and lining the pockets of his minions. These decisions are designed to cause harm without even pretending they will benefit society.

I truly don't think there is any coming back from this in my lifetime. The degree of calamity and grift occurring at any given time will wax and wane but the trendline is going to bend toward collapse and decay.
I want to believe it's just an emotional reaction but I don't think it is.

I'm still mourning the belief so many of us shared that the Information Age would reshape our society for the better.
Imagine having access to knowledge and data that was completely unprecedented in all of human history and using it to do...this.

Is it even possible to talk about politics in a meaningful way when the people with the most power and influence do whatever they want and the majority of voters just...don't care?
Yes I know Trump initially supported the TikTok ban. Here's the thing: no one cares

I'm so tired of the gross "the horrible things I did and said aren't the real me" non-apologies that have become so normalized.
We aren't *solely* defined by our worst actions, but they are just as much a part of our identities as our best ones.

Watching even a large portion of the Democratic establishment line up to kiss the ring is scarier than anything we saw in 2015. It feels like no one with real power or influence is even going to try to stop him from doing whatever he wants this time.

It's a scary time to be a person with a career who genuinely cares about the people around you.
Will it become even harder and riskier to be an advocate for people who are being bullied or harassed? The most common response now is inaction, will that gradually shift to more active retaliation?

We had a brief glimpse of what our society might look like if people were simply held accountable for their behavior a little bit more often.
A backlash was predictable but the scale of it is still shocking. They are reshaping the country in favor of abusers and grifters for decades to come.

I'm not sure we fully understand yet just how deeply exhausting it is to keep having to rebuild our communities over and over again, as one site after another embraces bleakly dangerous policies.
It's a tiny bit like having to move to a new neighborhood every year, it takes a toll on our psyches.

When I worked at Meta, the company was deeply imperfect but it's culture was heavily influenced by people who genuinely wanted to improve things.
Now it is clear that those voices only got the traction they did at that time because the political winds were seen as blowing a certain way.

If by "find out" you mean "experience negative consequences and realize as a result that their worldview was wrong", most people never will.
If you just mean they will experience the negative consequences, without ever admitting the root cause, that's more realistic.

If he does enact punitive tariffs on imported items across the board, large on-hand stocks mean we won't see serious supply constraints in the short term.
That won't stop people from being reactionary and causing strange runs and shortages, though, so be prepared for it to look like we are.

It's hard to overstate just how little the average US consumer knows about the supply chains that bring us the huge variety of products we have come to take for granted.
They're about to get a very unpleasant crash course in just how few products are truly domestic as tariffs come into play.

It's really wild to think about the zeitgeist our parents' generation must have had around energy bills. From the way they act I feel like they must have sat around at the family barbecue comparing kWh numbers.
And yet they couldn't sign fast enough for the F250 that got 7 miles to the gallon.

More in adventures with Boomer parents: My mom bought a super high-quality air filter at the end of the pandemic, largely to convince us to eat inside during holidays (which didn't work). So, she's just not been using it at all... Even during these super low-quality air days.

All the posts and news pieces along the lines of "why are airports so chaotic and overloaded just before a holiday, right when we all want to travel!" make me concerned about our ability as a society to understand cause and effect.
