ok Big Pharma spends so, so much more money on lobbyists for both parties than Israel does
Big Pharma clearly does not control the government
why do people attribute things like the shutdown to AIPAC when clearly lobbying money cannot even protect Tylenol from being slandered

one of the things i have come to believe about the ~~deep past~~ is that, number one, there appears to enormous diversity and also enormous gaps in hard evidence, through which people project their priors... and also certain identifiable commonalities: scarcity, violence, patriarchy
there's so much obsession with the deep past on the right these days--they make a fetish of "the savannah," hoping to see their own politics reflected back at them. so what do we know of our own history? what can be said clearly, and what remains speculation?

Don’t worry, Americans – it won’t be sold in the US any time soon. It uses R290 refrigerant, which is not allowed here.
Holy shit. This company claims it has developed an air-source heat pump with a COP of *7* (3-5 is considered good). For you non-nerds, that basically means it produces 7 units of heat for every unit of electricity it consumes. How are they doing it? You're not gonna like this answer, but: it's AI.

I feel like you can say with some confidence that this is one area in their lives where Americans do not want to negotiate and feel like entrepreneurs.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Populism maintains power when it can convince the people it represents their will. But the result of Trump's actions has been to galvanize a popular will and citizen identity against what the people increasingly (in both intensity and numbers) cast as an invading, anti-American ideology.

some remarks on the shutdown fight, courtesy of philips o'brien: "A battle is more a snapshot in time--a moment when two armed forces reveal their current strengths and weaknesses. What to take from a battle... is what it reveals about the direction of travel of the armed forces involved."

This article talks a lot about how in peasant, subsistence life life was divided into "cycles," and while people in the past liked nice things - good food, nice clothes - imo the danger of nostalgic idealization is we tend to focus on the *high points of those cycles*
