Ich werde nie verstehen, wie das von Rest der Welt als völlig ok angesehen wird, dass 2 Länder über den Kopf eines dritten Landes hinweg, welches AUF EIGENEM BODEN von einem der beiden angegriffen und in seinem Existenzrecht angezweifelt wird, über dessn FRIEDEN "verhandeln" in dem sie frendes Land und Ressourcen unter sich aufteilen und Kapitulation des Opfers als Erfolg darstellen.

Die #USA sind sich nur nixh ne Mafia mit Atomwaffen.

Voting is Your POWER

🚨TIME SENSITIVE🚨

SPEAK OUT NOW to Protect Our RIGHTS!

Submit Comment Now! Deadline is Tonight (Wednesday April 23) at 9pm Pacific time!

Sample comment:

Requiring documentary proof of citizenship would disenfranchise countless eligible voters, especially seniors, students, low-income, and Native voters who may not have access to these costly, hard-to-obtain IDs. As a voter, this rule would create unnecessary hurdles for me and my community — voting is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy. I oppose adding proof of citizenship requirements. It’s a thinly veiled attempt at voter suppression targeting vulnerable communities. Our democracy works best when every eligible voter can participate. This proposal would silence too many voices.

This study proves that mmt accurately describes how sovereign currency issuing works in the UK:

"This paper provides the first detailed institutional analysis of the UK Bank of England, Government's expenditure, revenue collection & debt issuance processes."

"We show that public expenditure is always financed through money creation rather than taxation or debt issuance."

US et al systems are similar.

$5000 per newborn is not a good incentive when daycare costs so much that people pause working because it's more economical. Raising a child costs an astronomical amount. It would take at least 2 years of income to be an actual family budget incentive.

$5k is a perverse incentive for the most precarious to produce orphans for cash.

Why do billionaires need more workers while replacing us with AI ASAP? Make more dependent women? Next they'll pay more for boys.

Re "..long term.. leads to price rises"

Fed spending doesn't automatically lead to price rises Wise govts manage inflation by choosing when, where, & on what to spend.

Eg, feds could double social security payments & every $ would go back into the economy (not inflationary)

See, eg,

Musk is dismantling a small but important independent agency that supports economic development in poor but stable nations. Employees at the Millennium Challenge Corporation were informed that they would be offered early retirement or deferred resignation following visits from Musk’s staffers.

I love how this moment is bringing Americans together to reconnect with the values enshrined in our Constitution and protected in the decades upon decades since the founders put pen to paper. Yes, we've done terrible things, but we try to correct our mistakes. We are a great country. Also, a foolish and trivial people sometimes. But on balance a great country.

As Bernie and AOC draw record rallies with a progressive/populist message as practically every other Democrat flounders, SF politicians suggest that progressive politics are doomed and the best way to beat the Republicans is to be more like them.

Fuck SF politics. Fuck Gavin Newsom who thinks it’s a great idea to throw trans athletes under the bus. And for the love of god someone please primary Nancy Pelosi.
