Nothing like a threat to the capital investments of a few very rich people to get the socialized bailout money flowing.

Trump needs to be sentenced.

Without further specific context, I just assumed this was a parody piece given the recent revelations.

I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I've had in years, and my reaction was "I wonder if this is still recyclable." Still better than plastic bags, I suppose.

It has certainly been an expedient way to make money (via Peter Thiel). And one of their "thought leaders" is a Usenet troll named Curtis Yarvin. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug

Behind the Bastards just dropped an episode on the weirdo too. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

This has been around for ages (in Internet time). And the connection to Vance is one step.

Trump, again, is just the useful idiot.

It's either "with the states" or "with powerful exceptions," you can't dictate both.

But his base is too dumb to understand. I'm actually kind of shocked the Overton window has shifted enough that "powerful exceptions" are in the Republican position.

Having met a number of CEOs, definitely not. They're dollar store brains and smooth talking metaphor machines. They operate almost completely on intuition and use bullshit to back it up.

I'm sure there are exceptions.

True! My first thought is usually drugs without further context.

You've forgotten Reader's Digest.

And we can't forget the episode of Seinfeld where George takes a book into the bathroom.

But what about a concept of a plan?? Inquiring minds...
