@cdarwin@c.im What a batshit crazy lunatic.

@Nonilex@masto.ai Maybe stop normalizing them NYT?

“..Trump accounts exist. The question is whether people will be helping their kids by putting money into them..the answer for almost everyone is no.The main reason is that we already have 529 accounts for the purpose of saving for a kid’s education.The big difference between the accounts..is that it is possible to withdraw money from a 529 account,if it’s needed,where it is not possible to withdraw money from a Trump account for any reason,until the kid turns 18.” https://open.substack.com/pub/deanbaker22/p/if-your-financial-adviser-recommends?r=1uo829&utm_medium=ios

“The wealthiest Americans used to pay higher taxes to finance the government. Now, the government pays wealthy Americans interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on wealthy Americans.
Which means a growing portion of everyone else’s taxes are now paying wealthy Americans interest on those loans, instead of paying for government services everyone needs.”

@joeinwynnewood One could argue that SCOTUS is the Radical here and your solution is actually the Conservative one.

@gleick@mas.to The Clawback List grows for the next Dem Administration. Gonna make an impact on the national debt.

@jwildeboer @Reinald Artificial scarcity is what the Economics 101 crowd of supply and demand dogmatics fail to account for.

@ptesarik @passwordsarehard4 @Reinald @jwildeboer This is the false binary choice between socialism and capitalism that has been pushed upon us for and used by nefarious political actors for over a hundred years now.

@AmandaMarcotte Why not both? 🤷‍♂️

@heidilifeldman This is the way

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy The US keeps falling further behind due to Oil Oligarchy. We are going to end up regretting this mistake for a long time.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Anyone that wants to win should be able to come up with a better name than “Project 2029” Ffs. Sounds like another MAGA plan.

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I would not say opposite at all. AI has also added a lot of salaries up front that will go away. It’s not a perfect comparison but not opposite. I’d say the Metaverse failure likely led to Zuck doubling up on tech broligarch support of Trump/Vance that contributed to all the bad things you mentioned too.

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Wasn’t the MetaVerse the same thing at a much smaller scale, and was a complete failure?

@9to5Mac@mastodon.online Apple’s CEO is aligned and big contributors ti the Trump regime, so I wouldn’t put much stock into this alleged study.

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Motorod@mastodon.social Spot on, and so infuriating and disrespectful that they think we are that stupid.

@Naureckas@mastodon.world Whatever happened to the “it’s a free country “ people. They are real quiet now.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social Sad to say this may be the future where innovation and breakthroughs come from China and not from US as the current radical far right political regime in US attempts to destroy our government.
