Yeva Nersisyan talks with Steve about leftist economists who are still wedded to the belief that government spending relies on taxpayer money: "if an academic on the left uses the ‘taxpayer dollar’ framing, then you cannot be surprised when the right uses it too"

Third, from Panama. Pledging allegiance to the US will not protect you. Trump's threat to invade Panama shows they will not hesitate to violate the sovereignty of their own allies. NB., the US invaded Panama in 1989 to remove a president who was a literal US asset, once he became inconvenient.

Second, regarding sanctions. Dependence on trade with the US, on finance from the US, and on US financial systems, is extremely risky. States in this position are vulnerable to being crushed by US sanctions at any time. More than 60% of all developing countries are now under US sanctions.

First, from Palestine. The US and its Western allies do not care about human rights and international law when it comes to the South. They are willing to inflict apocalyptic, genocidal violence if it serves their material interests, and they will do so with impunity. See also: Iraq, Libya, etc.

Watching Palestinians fight for their lives on our screens is the most dehumanising experience of my life, but it doesn’t dehumanise them — it dehumanises everyone else for passively existing in a world that permits their destruction for nothing more than Western greed

🚨NEWS: The nation’s top private health insurers have spent over $120 BILLION lining top shareholders’ pockets with lucrative stock buybacks.
It’s no coincidence that among those top investors are the very executives who authorize buybacks in the first place 👇

If you have ever wondered what colonization was like—the violence, the dispossession, the massacres, the genocide, the displacement, the famine, the dehumanization, the racism—you are watching it in real time in Palestine. It is among the most depraved of all possible acts.

🚨NEW: Biden DOJ just issued a policy giving corporate lawbreakers a new get-out-of-jail-free card.
The policy comes as Biden DOJ officials may be seeking jobs in the corporate sector. It could help Trump enrich his donors. https://t.co/F8j2AqmVe8
