The corruption is endemic and bipartisan.

The new class of Dems are Lina Khan Democrats. They have different views and rhetoric, but they are suspicious of concentrated corporate power and see that as driving up costs in unfair ways.

Now that much needed AI regulations are looming, it's so funny watching the slop peddlers desperately scream "We are so close to curing cancer!!!", when
A) Medical research uses local models, not the mass theft of human knowledge you call "AI"
B) You never cared before

it is our job to constantly criticize politicians. they are public servants who we vote for. even the politicians you like need to constantly be vetted & under scrutiny. this shouldn’t be a controversial take. that cult of personality shit needs to die immediately.

There is an extreme sense of entitlement among some boomers. I saw it in that conversation. Deliberately cost shifting serious financial issues while drawing on social security and not giving a lick about the generation behind them. She wants to sell before the special

Sports prediction markets are sports bets. By effectively requiring prediction markets to offer contracts in all 50 states, even on Tribal lands, the CFTC is once again violating state law and Tribal sovereignty.
Despite ongoing litigation and court orders to cease offering contracts in several states and Tribal lands as recently as today, the CFTC and its rogue chairman now appear to be encouraging platforms to continue offering gambling products in contempt of these court orders.
This is the CFTC’s most egregious attempt yet to undermine state law, the Tribes, and now, the courts. The CFTC chairman has been captured by the industry and his actions reflect only their interests.
Derivatives markets must operate on a uniform basis on a national scale in order to achieve the purposes set out in the Commodity Exchange Act. Geographic access restrictions undermine the national uniformity and consistency that the Act is intended to facilitate.
Today's interpretative guidance ensures that exchanges provide competitive, open, fair, and impartial access to their members pursuant to @CFTC regulations.

Massive undercovered media story: The number of influencers who are paid to produce content/shape opinion and don't disclose their funding sources.
It produces huge distortion in the news/information marketplace and rewards, often very handsomely, the worst actors.

A federal judge has blocked the Department of Education's plan to limit professional degrees to 11 programs, notably excluding nursing and social work. This is the third ruling blocking the plan from taking effect.

Why are they using their term “crash” regarding today’s stock market activity? Nasdaq was down 5.52% and that’s the highest drop for all three… a crash by definition is 20% or more drop, correction is 10-20%
Seems rather sensationalist

In hindsight it is looking like the thing that held up the market was the idea that the tech companies could do whatever they liked, no matter how dangerous or immoral, without consequences.
The (new!) thought that companies might actually be held accountable for what they have done has completely spooked the market.

We didn't learn after Nixon. If you want to stop elected officials from becoming another Trump administration in the future, you have to provide consequences. Sending the message that all will be forgiven in the name of peace and unity is ludicrous.

Incredible how the AI industry is so over-leveraged and under-regulated it can't weather a single threat without complete collapse. It's almost like their hyper-inflated growth has been contingent on zero oversight and data centers blanketing the land & stealing our resources.

I am a scholar in the failed post civil war reconstruction, and I did my masters thesis on the damage that failure and unaccountable conservatives have done to this country for the last 150yrs to this day, and we are on a precipice here again. America must stop allowing capitalism to preclude democracy, and hold the robber barons, racists, murderers, and corrupt politicians accountable, or this “revolutionary” election doesn’t mean shit.
