Mamdani's reference to "collectivism" was misunderstood. There's a long history of research into "collectivism" v "individualism." Here's an excellent PDF link to one. It's a dense scientific paper but it's important to understand the terms before arguing over them.

Why hasn't the economy suffered more from Trump's erratic and irrational tariffs? Read the details here, and you'll see that "you ain't seen nothin' yet." The worst is yet to come, but one thing's certain: Trump lied. Americans are paying for the tariffs.

I'm inundated by independent journalists wanting me to subscribe to their "feed" (in various formats). They have special sources, unique insight, etc. Many are impressive. The problem: highly fragmented journalism, with livelihoods in the balance will inevitably proliferate fake news.
