Just because you *can* do something, doesn't mean you should.
It doesn't even mean it's a good idea.
That billionaires *can* do whatever they want, is a problem.
Who can say "No." to their money?
Anyone?
Then why don't more people say "No." ?
There used to be at least a semblance of (albeit condescending) responsibility of the filthy rich to 'give back' - even if it was naming a building.
But now, we don't even have that.

Pushback is the path to victory! 
If they pull any funny stuff, sue the hell out 'em.
Lawsuits & pushback WORK!
If you don't try you won't win.

... "It's okay to lie because it maintains social stability.
"If people found out the truth about how government finances work, there would be so many demands on the government to do stuff that it would become unviable.
"Economics serves the same purpose as religion has served historically: to maintain social order by lying to the people so they don't get bolshy."
Bill Mitchell paraphrasing Paul Samuelson
Interview: "We've been led by my profession [economists] to accept a fictional world that leads us to accept poor policy that actually damages the nation, the climate, & ourselves."
"Mmt is about understanding the capacities of the currency issuing government."

...2 why economists say it's ok to lie to we the people about how fed spending works
Dreamed that I was an assistant to Elon Musk and woke up having ground all of my teeth to dust. #USpol
More #FAFO. Truckers overwhelmingly supported Trump (although the Teamsters Union did not endorse), hoping to be able to pollute more. Now they are facing disaster. Higher costs from tariffs as well as plunging volumes #uspol

@blogdiva that ad, with Harper's lips getting redder (I am guessing new makeup during takes), and he is hunching down like a failed emperor - he ends up looking like a parody, and even hardcore Canadian cons can't defend him
The election is tight, it will be a bourbon night for me - last of the US anything we bought
But Carney will win, and watch out - we've already killed the US tourism industry, wait for potash and oil
El verdadero miedo no es ver como el fascismo avanza.
El verdadero miedo es comprobar que quienes pueden pararlo han decidido mirar para otro lado.
Ojalá sea por cobardía.

Analysis: "US complicit in Israel’s starvation of Gaza population".

Interview: "Trump’s War on Children"
Trump has cut funds & manpower for child abuse investigations, enforcement of child support payments, Child Protective Services, child care & more.
Plus "Head Start preschools, which offer free child care to low-income parents, are being severely gutted."

Interview: "Ultimate Grifter”: Bob Kuttner on How Trump Could Drop His Tariffs & Take Credit for Saving Economy
"This is classic Trump. You create a crisis. Then you say, 'Well, actually, I'm going to back off,’ and the crisis is over. And you end up with yourself and the country worse than before you started.”
~Robert Kuttner, The American Prospect
Aprreciated this from Julia Azara: "I am personally sympathetic to a lot of the economic inequality claims, but it’s not realistic to think this is an “easy” button for coalition-building. Instead, Democrats may need to acknowledge that there are some serious and complicated divisions in the party."

Report: Long Island synagogue cancels Ben-Gvir talk
It was at least the second cancellation of an event for Ben-Gvir during his first US official visit.
Ben-Gvir was also heckled at a private event in New York.
Ben-Gvir says top GOP members agree with him that it is necessary to bomb the food & aid depots in Gaza.
Analysis: "How Trump Exploits Working Class Pain"
"Trump uses economic decline to win over voters & push rural America further to the right.
"A lot of people in this group have felt that neither political party was offering an answer... & have turned instead to a kind of charismatic leader.
"Trump played on their shame... about their downward mobility & used that to his political advantage."
