You tell 'em

Most dairy farmers are obese old guys.

It’s spelled “lol”

Is there a flagship example of how any DOE research has substantively improved outcomes in American schooling? Ideally with cost of study, cost to implement, and some metric around outcomes for students.

This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.

Easily the dumbest and least innovative of the silicon valley megabillionaires.

They are actually a classic example of what unions do.

Banning police unions is a no brainer.

Oh cool another wannabe gerontocrat

Cultivate an ideological successor please Bernie.

It’s not AOC, she’s a sell out.

Hint: I am viewing it in the USA

This binary view is neat and tidy but wrong. There are a lot of enthusiasts for whom a Tesla is still a desirable car both for capabilities as well as status. I would not be surprised to see its sales keep dropping, but reports of its death are all gonna be premature.

As far as a used Tesla, once we agree that a market for Teslas still exists, then that’s all dependent on the price.

At a certain point you’re at a local maxima and incremental changes just don’t work. They have to be big changes to knock off the hill to another valley and then society has to do the hill climbing again. Sucks and painful but no other way IMO.

Okay, so Luigi didn’t cut healthcare costs. Did you working with people locally cut healthcare costs?

I volunteer in a few things in my neighborhood but I basically do it for warm fuzzies and because I want to make/keep my neighborhood nice. I don’t have any aspirations that it’ll become grander.

When you allow people to buy things freely - in this case a limited resource - this was inevitable. Nothing to do with capitalism, i.e. private ownership of means of production. It would have happened under any system in which people can spend their money on whatever they want.

People don’t want to organize around homeless outreach, that’s why the huge, costly, and incessant efforts in most cities never turn into literally any useful political action. Most people are more selfish than that, and it’s also unclear how giving away donated food and socks translates to anything, anywhere else, in society.

Parents/teacher groups and labor unions are a lot closer to the mark because that stuff has actual impact on the people involved. Although I’m skeptical - the parent/teacher zeitgeist is now one of conflict after the COVID school closures. But it’s a place to get traction.

The old school anarchists used grand acts of violence, i.e. propaganda of the deed. Luigi tried that, seems to have dissipated.

Everyone’s just rich enough to not care about shit like this any more.

When do we get cool outfits

it was always weird that he was so against something I hated so much

lmao

Nothing will happen until there is a major crisis of some kind. Life is way too easy for most people. Occupy was a failure for this reason. You need Great Depression style suffering or better yet early 20th century labor conditions in order to get any ball rolling. Great Society was nothing really.

Online sample of 604 voters fielded from December 20 to January 07, 2025.

Lol

So they polled people who were chilling on the internet over the holidays, like 6 weeks after the election

Pardon me if I find Pew more trustworthy

Seems like a false dichotomy.

Or maybe I don’t understand why “pro billionaire” has to be a maximalist position.

Like, having the rule of law and property rights is already massively pro-billionaire (and pro-labor too).
