Today I am thankful for capital reserve requirements that will prevent the next financial crisis and preserve our jobs.

Oh wait.

This seems like an important story.

The US is deregulating banks. Will the rest of the world follow?

New rules will boost lending and profits and entrench American dominance. But critics say they could lead to another crash

Oh look - we’re gonna eliminate the post-2008 capital reserve requirements so people can plump up the AI bubble even *more* while also making banks less resilient on the day that bubble bursts.

Can’t wait for Gen Z and Gen alpha to experience this. We’ll have so much more in common.

If you have an economy where the only place to park extra cash involves meme stocks, NFTs, crypto, or is located in some AI fantasyland, it’s probably not the best managed economy.

The thing with Ai is that folks hustled all their life to get desk jobs that barely lets them make ends meet - their reward for taking on six figure student loan debt. Now the jobs will disappear and any profits thereby extracted will line the pockets of private equity

Why oh why do we not love it

Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Anyone else old enough to remember Exxon plugging its algae soup energy “plan” that went nowhere - but not until after the hundred million dollar superbowl ad blitz?

Well, here we go again…?

If you run a private business that can’t make a profit while treating people with basic dignity, maybe it shouldn’t be a private business anymore.

Maybe you should be run more like Amtrak.

The problem of airport incivility is most definitely caused by the shorts and leggings and not the micromini overcrowded seating, uncompensated delays and cancellations, and charging $50 to check a bag.

Definitely

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Campbell's soup VP caught on tape trashing his own brand. Oof. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

In the lawsuit, Garza alleges Bally said Campbell's makes
"highly processed food" for "poor people" and made several derogatory comments about Indian employees, calling them "idiots."
"We have s--t for f**king poor people. Who buys our s--t? | don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f—'s in it," part of the recording said. "Bioengineered meat -- I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."

This is likely unlawful command influence

@PeteHegseth on X: The video made by the “Seditious Six” was despicable, reckless, and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of “good order and discipline.” Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion — which only puts our warriors in danger.

Five of the six individuals in that video do not fall under @DeptofWar jurisdiction (one is CIA and four are former military but not “retired”, so they are no longer subject to UCMJ). However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ—and he knows that.

As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation—lending the appearance of authority to his words. Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.

If the aim is to stop refugees from flooding the border…. A war, which tends to create refugees, seems pretty counterproductive.

With less access to student loans, there will be less nurses.

Man, Trump sure is angry with the ladies this week.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin

The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

“The idea that teenage girls are not only stumbling blocks for their male peers but also sources of temptation for adult men is the darkest and most dangerous point of convergence between purity culture and rape culture.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-barely-l...

The Barely Legal Type: Purity Culture, Rape Culture, and America’s Lose-Lose Proposition for Girls

The very parts of American culture that claim to promote teen abstinence and sexual purity operate on a parallel logic to the rape culture that enables the darkest misogynistic violence against women.

This is a perfect time for a regime to insist that a reminder to “disobey illegal orders” is itself insurrection and treason.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
