The narrative from the both-sidesers that maybe Good & Ross both just panicked doesn’t fly with the latest info. There are 2 choices now:
1. Ross shot her 3 times because he was in fear that she was about to seriously injure him;
or
2. He shot her because he was angry at her.

Just because there is skepticism doesn’t mean it’s well-informed or that anybody should listen to it.
forgive me if this is about something else
given the track record of lies from the administration, the extremely public dramatic fallout over BLS, and the want to quell business/economic types (e.g. tariff dweebs), yeah, there's gonna be skepticism with regards to the validity of what BLS reports.

Stocks Rise as Traders Weigh Jobs Data, Brace for Tariff Ruling
US equities rose Friday to new all-time highs as December’s employment report did little to alter expectations for leaving interest rates on hold. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court did not deliver a highly awaited decision on the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Instant view: US job growth slows in December, backs Fed rate pause this month
U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in December amid business caution about hiring because of import tariffs and rising artificial intelligence investment, but the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, supporting expectations the Federal Reserve would leave interest rates unchanged this month.

This is not just a Trump thing. One of the most consistent dynamics in American political economics is that Republicans are bad for the economy (if we measure jobs and not stock prices).

Any time I hear people talk about 'targeted sanctions' I think about the Obama administration's coinage of 'surgical' drone strikes, and then I think about how the US used sanctions to prevent states from importing syringes during COVID.

It’s almost like every single cycle regardless of circumstances is framed as a giant problem for Democrats and libs, a broken clock that is occasionally right but only by chance. It’s wild that this very obvious pattern in American political economy is newly discovered every year or two.

American prosperity is also a product of a stable political economy. It’s enjoyed 200 years of largely uninterrupted growth because there haven’t been any Pol Pots or Fransisco Nguemas, but the period where you can reliably depend on that not happening is clearly over.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result: demagoguery and corruption.

I got in an argument at a lefty reading group about this very thing but “Settlers” does an excellent job debunking this myth. The 20th century pre-neoliberal American political economy was deeply violently racist, long before those jobs went overseas. Also the average MAGA voter is quite well off.

A remarkable passage from 'Zbig' by @edwardluce.bsky.social, on Brzezinski's criticism of the Kissinger foreign policy in 1974. I wonder whether these lines were written before or after Trump's second term began... and whether it's "first tragedy then farce", or the other way around?
