As with Bidenomics, I’m not really sold the “populist” character of these ideas, which mostly involve tax credits. But it does show that the Furmans, Galstons, Chaits etc are no longer close to throne in Dem-land, which is something
Been a long day & I am surely posting cringe/not articulating this well, but to me it seems like something profoundly important is being codified in Kamala Harris endorsing these populist econ policies -- sort of the ultimate repudiation, from the highest level of Dem, of the idea that politics operates on a left-right scale, and that winning means finding the "center" of that spectrum, rather than that Ds should win by picking issues they see as aligning themselves with the vast majority of the public and against corporations/the very wealthy

Personally I think it's relevant to the current state of things that Pelosi has made many millions of dollars in passive income by owning Bay Area real estate and tech stocks as working class people get purged from her district.

The longer you work, the more TV you watch:
Data showing hours of TV watched per country: Japan & USA top the charts in both hours watched and time in work.
Netherlands & Sweden work fewer hours & watch less TV.

I am not worried about my views being manipulated by Facebook because I am already a firm ideologue.
Not entirely sure how to interpret this action from my cat, but feeling like it’s as close as he can get to flinging his poop at me.
