Maybe my favorite Doctorow screed to now: Rich people make stupidity at scale

"... *every single economic cataclysm in the history of the world was the fault of rich people*. Rich people gave us the 19th century's bank panics. They gave us the South Seas bubble. They gave us the Great Depression, and the S&L Crisis, and the Great Financial Crisis. They invented greedflation and created the cost of living crisis. Today, they are teeing up an AI crash that will make 2008 look like the best day of your life:"

An enthusiastic clematis and water drops in lupine leaves. The Armand's clematis is the first to bloom around here. And I love how water drops always sit in the middle of lupine leaves #Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSpring #SeattleParks #MapleLeafPark #BloomScrolling

I suppose the funds for this would come from the Pentagon, and maybe Trump will reimburse himself with funds from the Board Of Peace (BOP)

“Nature is like a high-precision watch. You can’t swap in one bee for another, and that is what we are doing when we buy in foreign bees. Pollinators are not interchangeable, just like you can’t put random parts inside a Swiss watch.”
