personally i think if you have to assure people that the very much alive activist bigot who owns the property you're adapting won't be allowed to insert her bigotry into the adaptation it's a sign that you shouldn't be adapting it but i suppose that's why i'm not being paid to destroy the hbo brand

sure. fine. that's nice. that's not a scalable solution and it condemns a lot of people to death. we are a collective and a society and it is our right to have safe nonpoisonous food. and we should fight for it.
Hit up your farmers market. See what they have. Talk to the producers. Ask if they do community share. Spend your money with people in your area. Put more power in the pockets of the farmers around you.

Exactly right.
The individual solutions people are passing around (a) won’t work and (b) break down solidarity by implying people with enough privilege will be unaffected by deregulation.
Put your energy into protecting the system for everyone!

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

one thing I think we shouldn't lose sight of: these people are stupid, their ideas are bad, they are always wrong about everything. there is no mea culpa big enough to erase the fact that they have a child's understanding of the world and their vision for the future is not worth taking seriously
Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today.
One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic.

Some elite Trump supporters are having regrets. We asked them why.
After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”
So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?

‘Over 1 Million’ People Wanted a Cybertruck. Where Are They?
“Demand is off the charts!” Elon Musk crowed at the end of 2023, citing more than a million reservations for Tesla's polarizing polygonic pickup—so why has it still sold less than 50,000?

Shout out to everyone who wrote fervidly about the out of control “woke” people going too far and oppressing them with the specter of social opprobrium.
Soon, if a new proposal from the Trump administration goes into effect, immigrants applying for green cards or citizenship will have to disclose their social media handles with their application.
Trump Wants to Force Immigrants to Share Their Social Media Handles When Applying for Citizenship
A proposal by the Trump administration would require immigrants hand over their social media handles, which experts say could violate free speech rights.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
