The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

So Trump pardons the head of the biggest drug smuggling operation in history and he’s not profiting from this? He can do this because the Supreme Court says a President can’t be prosecuted for actions while President. Other Democracies have prosecuted leaders but not us

State of Arkansas has now spent nearly $1M on a "consultant" to try to figure out how to make Gov. Sanders' prison dreams a reality -- and the only thing built so far is what Sen. Bryan King calls "the most expensive culvert in Arkansas history."

The soon to be trillionaires need to start contributing to the universal basic income.

Congress needs to pass a new tax law just for that.

Among the reasons I see AI as a bubble is the GOP's ideological hostility to rational electricity policy.

As a matter of physics, economics, and politics, you can't sustain a data center boom while going backwards on solar & wind. The Earth-killing energy sources they love are just too expensive.
