And by “war” we mean a non-intense, unarmed conflict between different policy perspectives without the use of paramilitary mercenaries, insurgents, militias or soldiers, and also lacking any extreme violence, destruction or mortality. But other than that, yeah: War. Totally war.

I took a moment and read the transcript of President Jimmy Carter’s 1979 speech, “Crisis of Confidence” (also known as the “malaise” speech). Here it is: pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperie…

Fire Jeffrey Zients, whose failure to utilize the Defesne Production Act for tests or PPE demonstrates a greater fealty to private profit than the public interest.
Incredible!
More beautiful work for Boxcar from @MikeCostelloe 🇺🇲

Congressman @BillPascrell has tested positive for COVID. Pascrell, who'll turn 85 next month, says his symptoms are mild. His message to those who have not gotten a COVID vaccine: "get off your butt and get vaccinated and get boostered."

Since the start of the pandemic total corporate profits have ballooned from $1 trillion to $1.7 trillion, costing every person in American $2,126, on average.
Inspired by Larry Summers and his tirade against antitrust, I looked into inflation and market power. It turns out 60% of the rise in inflation is going to corporate profits. mattstoller.substack.com/p/c…

@marketurbanist great note on the possible return of the private Subway model. I think it's important to look back over our history to understand the various public and private sector roles that have played out over the years in the crucial space of transportation

Worth noting that the original IRT made a 10% return for August Belmont (of the Belmont stakes) after accounting for the costs of construction Public transportation was profitable 100yrs back
Just joined a zoom Shivah for a friend. This is a custom in Judaism of 7 days after a death saying the evening (or all daily) prayers together and telling stories about the departed What will be the stories they tell when it is our time?

A path forward: give Manchin’s 1.8T bill a vote, with a short (~6 month) CTC extension included - a rounding error in a bill that big. Dems would be giving Manchin everything he wants, including time to negotiate a bipartisan CTC solution. In return… 1/ washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

It's funny how the existence of this photo won't ever interfere with these kids lives moving through the world because this is viewed as "American" but if this was a black family, this photo would be used to deny them access to anything good in life.

Inflation and shortages are *helping* big business. Profit margins for large firms are up 50% since 2019. Finally, someone in government launched an investigation. That someone? Lina Khan. mattstoller.substack.com/p/a…
