His donation pledge was more of a flex because he’s increased his net worth more than he has donated. Also, people who were friends with Epstein should not get to decide where that money goes.

The guy is on the Epstein list and his wife left him because he was too friendly to the guy…

He also fucked over our public education system

How exactly was it brilliant of him to say Mamdani can call him a fascist?

Most people are living paycheck to paycheck… But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you “own” can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.

First the pope throws a rave, now this 🤦

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

I am seeing ads where businesses will try to influence AI to recommend your brand. I don’t know if they actually work but it strikes me as everything we hate about SEO but shoved into every facet and interface that a capitalist owns.

Being right isn’t as important as doing right. I have better things to do with my time, unlike marketers.

The truck says “War” on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don’t need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.

Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.

It is also true people benefited from Obama’s DACA program. This isn’t a simple trolley problem let alone a single track

I’ll just tell that to my brother in law who just got released from ICE custody. Like I know this picture is probably true for Gaza, but it isn’t for many of my neighbors and family.

You play a different game so that even if you lose on the propaganda front, you still win gains elsewhere.

My guy, I would repeat myself as well if I thought it would help.

I didn’t realize what is good or bad is reducible to what I alone experience and everyone else can fuck off.

Where does the capital come from though? Someone has to pay for the shovels and if there isn’t a profit now, how will they pay for the next bubble?

Lol. I’m sure some new fangled NFT AI Slop wouldn’t be another bubble.

Needing to own a car to exist in society is a tax.

With you on all but makeup. I don’t do it but I know enough to know it is an art form and I also know there’s a paradox of self-expression that is intertwined with camp and seduction. These things are not inherently bad, but they are destructive when they are commoditized so that we start to think we have to pay admission to express ourself

BuT aT wHaT cOsT?

I’m hoping it’s Global Hegemony.
