I don't know how much different it will be on the ground when massive amounts of capital is incinerated in corporate meltdowns instead of being pissed up a wall

I'm not sure that I can work up that much terror. For most of the economy, I think we got the bubble burst effects a while ago with so many resources and investment being redirected toward bullshit with no social benefit.

Alternately, that he clarified in a 'hole milk if you're nasty' kinda way makes me shudder to think of what a nearly 80 year old man might be referring to. He's probably got gross euphemisms to refer to any number of distressing discharges and leakages

Sure helps out the companies who have exhausted all the dark design patterns they can legally get away with. All the pre-checked add-ons will easily fool the braindead chatbots that are blindly clicking through all the payment dialogs

Wasn't Friday cocktails a Maddow bit to pad things if the long interview came up short by a couple minutes? I always suspected it was also a chance to go little silly Julia Child at the end of the week

Colorado has been notoriously stingy with worker's compensation for years, outlined in a chapter of Fast Food Nation. Would taking the state off the hook for making up shortfalls give legislators room for increasing worker protection?

While the GOP is explicitly all about fossil fuels, the Democrats are notoriously squishy when it comes to real policy. Obama's "all of the above" energy policy and continuing ethanol subsidies for example. Then there's oil & gas guys like Hickenlooper in the Senate

He's primarying Nadler. The district votes +33 Dem, more blue than AOC's. A Republican running as a moderate Democrat there is an act of sabotage or just pure grift

It's helpful to remember that some of his few consistent unshakable beliefs include a misunderstanding of how the word asylum is used, that Greenland is important because it's big on a map, and McKinley was right about tariffs. Deeper analysis is futile in the face of that nonsense

I thought with the whole DOJ reassigned to harass immigrants, comb through the Epstein files, or fired, they wouldn't have the personnel to pull any more of these entrapment terrorism cases

He's disappointed in his existing brood of failures and wants an heir apparent. Melania said no, but watching a movie with RFK sparked a discussion...

Isn't that in the ballpark of the number detailed for the j6 prosecutions? If they hadn't already fired all those lawyers, I'd suspect this was a punishment detail consisting of tedium punctuated by the need for brain bleach

I'd almost suspect a sinister plan to suppress oil production, raising prices. Except Venezuela's exports can easily be made up by other members of OPEC.
Maybe there's a list of oil producing countries that the US plans to take out, one at a time, like a slasher film. Norway's the final girl

Would he? One of the persistent negatives to Bennet's primary run for governor in Colorado is his plan to hold his senate seat til sworn in and appoint his own replacement. Dunno how it works in MN law

I'm sure there'll be plenty of legitimacy arguments about Maduro not actually winning elections, but I can't see this administration making that case without reflexively using their stop the steal rhetoric and stumbling over their own dicks

Noriega doesn't quite work as an example of the US flouting sovereign immunity since he wasn't the official head of state.

It really pumps views. If an executive sees a slump in an important metric, like say view counts because people are watching fewer, long-form videos, they personally benefit by propping it up.

I'd be interested to see how they handle returns. How does Amazon maintain the fiction that they're actually offering a service that's consensually integrated with the seller then?
