somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence
but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

Crazy but seemingly true!
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Trump's "muscular" trade policy has left the U.S begging China to buy our agricultural products - and begging China to sell the U.S. rare earth minerals. Meanwhile, inflation is crushing U.S. consumers. Great job Donald!
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

This is a great observation. I would add TV sitcoms to the list of things that portrayed a non-existent world that many long for.
The 50s were a victory lap for WW2 US propagandists turned advertisers, shilling a utopian view of tomorrow so hard we compare ourselves to something that didn’t exist

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Saying "vaccines are safe" is an irrelevant detail when you voted to hand all of the US government's health organizations over to someone who adamantly insists they are not.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

Trump is giving illegal orders. It's not debatable. There is no justification for blowing fishing boats out of the water in the Caribbean on suspicion of drug smuggling. It's cold-blooded murder. Not war, not policing, murder.
The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

They were right to question Biden's acuity. They are wrong to do so little to scrutinize Trump's. Simple as that.
Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

imagine any other US president in american history calling the american people a bunch of unemployed, uneducated, ignorant boobs who don't even know what a computer chip is, and insisting that they'll need to be educated by the taiwanese to work in US-based, taiwanese-owned factories
Trump: "You can't come in, open up a massive computer chip factory…and think you're going to hire people off an unemployment line to run it. They're going to have to bring thousands of people with them, and I'm going to welcome those people."
