Did capitalism just tip its hand? Am I to understand we can bring it to its knees by staying home? For 10 days?



COVID is part of the war. Not bc released from a lab but bc politicized to kill and sow chaos.

One of the most high profile warriors in this fight offers this sharp analysis.

Perfect metaphor - NYT Haiti article pulls a classic economics move where you "discover" something widely known in other fields and bury the details and cites showing it's far less novel than you suggest

It's hard to top economist dude-bros "discovering" something political scientists or sociologists have known for 50 years but the Times is making a solid effort.



There’s no appeasement in genocide.

Italy's peace plan for Ukraine is classic appeasement. Russia maintains control over occupied territories, Ukraine loses its independence in return for "security guarantees", remember the Budapest memorandum that was worth nothing. wsj.com/livecoverage/r…

Sorry 🙈 Bottom line: COVID causes clots, often on a level that standard tests are not picking up. There’s increasing evidence for complications from blood vessel disease/clots post COVID, but treatment and access to the right tests is lagging.

Over the past decade, about 450 U.S. murders were committed by “political extremists.” Of these killings, right-wing extremists committed about 75%. Nearly half of the murders were specifically tied to white supremacists. “Left-wing” extremists were responsible for 4%.

Larry Ellison reportedly joined a call about overturning the 2020 election; Elon Musk is joining with Jim Jordan to spread 2016 conspiracy theories; & Peter Thiel is funding far-right Senate candidates. Please tell me again how Big Tech is 'liberal' and biased to 'the left.'

Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder and chairman of the software company Oracle, participated in a call soon after the 2020 election that focused on strategies for contesting the legitimacy of the vote, according to court documents and a participant.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

🥩 4 companies control 85% of the beef market 🫘 4 companies control 80% of the soy market 🍝 3 companies control 78% of the pasta market 🥣 3 companies control 72% of the cereal market These companies hike prices with impunity—especially in uncertain times. We need competition.

I think this is the most important set of climate numbers I've come across in a decade. They are a Rosetta Stone for understanding why banks and the financial system are at the center of the crisis. Right now capitalism is a suicide machine. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
