"The Republican party is an outright enemy of democratic interests around the world" is an objectively true statement and something that I don't know if the current crop of Dem pols are gonna be able to fully embrace

What is the history and tradition of dictators posessing weapons of war?

Start with unitary executive, presidential immunity, and redefinition of bribery - those will be broadly popular to re-decide.

2A will create strong backlash and offers very little gain even if you win.

I read the question as acknowledging that fascists have never accepted an ‘L’ at the ballot box, and are even less likely to do so when offered pardons or the corrupt cover that will come from another 3 years of judicial appointments and rulings.

Tribunals are a best-case outcome.

From the US Flight 93 election to the UK MH370 election, western democracies continue to deliver on the soaring aspirations of the voters.

There’s more than the DUI in the story.

Vote your wallet is surprisingly effective for high-dollar and high-culture products and needs to be done every day.

They are going to need to sell a lot of Kid Rock spoken word tickets, and harvest the estate of many a Lee Greenwood fan to make up the difference. Megan knows they won’t.

Modern 120V kettles are fast enough, but you can’t plug them into a power strip with the toaster oven and microwave.

Is “better as a working fluid” because CO2 has such a large minimum temp gain, high pressure, or other? The COP of CO2 water heaters is amazing and if you already plan to use water to distribute the heat, it seems like you have a way to moderate the first problem.

The good news is that we can blame a lot of things on the Chupacabra and Bigfoot.

Is propane in the walls really better than fixing whatever is keeping CO2 costs high?

See comments by the real experts @legalminimum.bsky.social and @catfishsushi.bsky.social including the comment that SVB had a program to make this easy.

Every big treasury dept? US banks fail all the time, especially the crooked ones. This was just a politically connected bank, doing questionable things, which had a lot of social media influencers “on staff”.

I’m not an expert, but I have my money above limits homed at several banks - as does every responsible company I have ever worked at.

money regularly moving from a VC fund at SVB to portfolio co at SVB to ADP is no mystery.

The illusion was that the only way to make payroll for their portfolio companies was to make VCs immediately whole. FDIC could have clawed back the last week of xfers, asked people to sign assurances to get money above the limits, and moved more methodically.
December 29, 2025 at 4:02 PM
The run was organized by people who would tell you on every other day that people in their situation deserve to lose their money.

FDIC should have paid salaries, CapEx, and scheduled internal transfers into portfolio companies.

SVB was like no other bank. There was no broader risk.
December 29, 2025 at 3:45 PM
Use of SVB by VCs was coercive, involved questionable benefits and kickbacks, and paid zero attention to risk management lessons from 2009.

These “sophisticated investors” should have played by normal rules, been wiped out, or gone to jail.
