  • NYC Mayoral Poll highlights: Zohran maintains 22% lead, 70% of NYC view Mamdani’s rent freeze favorably, plurality of voters believe Mamdani being a Democratic Socialist is a positive trait

  • The campaign advertised a very good set of proposed policy changes, even if they are mild compared to what’s needed to remedy the ideology killing the human race. Yes it was a good campaign, but it’s literally as simple as being decently charismatic and backing ideas that actually help alleviate conditions for working people. That’s how Obama won. The problem is it pretty much can’t happen at the presidential level and Dems aren’t charismatic relative to their base who probably want material change and not purely racism

  • Zohran’s popularity has broken the brains of conservatives and forced them to discover and embrace their own form of accelerationism

  • Not to be as similar to them as possible, but when you take their own pill and stop seeing them as fully functional people, it becomes real fucking easy to understand them

  • The $500,000 robot servant Elon Musk claims will sell 10 billion units by 2040 can barely walk and struggles with questions like 'where can I get a coke?'

  • I know someone who does robotics at Amazon, and they tell me their in-house robots are really fucking stupid. They have folders and folders of images where they’ve made ridiculous mistakes that circulate around teams. A lot of them need very clear instructions constantly fed to them through visibly clear floor directions/floor lines/floor QR codes. And these deal with general transportation of neatly shaped objects with the occasional claw machine thrown in. To even conceive that we’re going to get fine tuned robots paired with hallucinating LLMs is both hilarious and terrifying because if they ever do get the fine tuning, you’re going to get I robots who are sprinting home not for an inhaler but for a gun. But hey let’s look forward to them funding mental health services for AI before they do for humans. In a way that’s already the case today I guess

  • Okay but have you ever considered the very real possibility of the mass psychosis being experienced by the wealthy due to their copious and consistent drug use? Their perception is reality after all

  • A third of the U.S. economy is already in a recession or at high risk, and another third is stagnating according to Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi.

  • Yes that’s exactly it. Business/investor confidence is the most important thing and crucial to capitalism’s survival because the flow of capital/money, being decentralized in a capitalistic society, is controlled solely by elites (the business/investor class). If they get spooked at all, not only will they crater the economy (since all jobs are dependent on them feeling perky enough to hire people, since they don’t actually give a shit about anything long term), but they also have the opportunity to flee with their money to foreign countries (because preventing capital flight is bad cause it’s not like that wealth was all made off the backs of people in their country you know? (Obviously ignore modern wealth extraction, but for most of history it’s domestic)). And they will flee if they really need to, even if their wealth is tied to equity, they can just slowly unwind their position/reposition their wealth external to the land they helped extract from

    But on a more serious note almost all metrics the government handles, the number one priority is maintaining business confidence

  • That was a good video but I do wish the content was a little more focused and less shallow. Obviously when talking about these concepts it’s hard to be focused within the time limit, but I do think a method of being better focused is down to the examples provided to support the concepts they’re discussing in. I guess I felt the examples used were a bit weak or still shallow in terms of supporting those concepts, but it was an interesting video and I appreciate the layering of visual sources when certain topics were discussed

  • I feel like the recent cracker barrel "controversy" is just overly online chuds trying to recreate the energy of the bud light boycott. what are the conservatives in your life saying about it?

    Jump

  • I don’t think it’s been picked up by their mainstream news source yet so they haven’t been told how to feel about it/do not know about it. But don’t worry, that thing that they didn’t know about because it didn’t affect their lives at all will become front and center if they need ammunition, and we’ll see clam fishermen crackling away all their chowder crackers and distillers burning their barrels for like, 2 weeks on social media (and then the gofundmes will follow asking for money for new crackers and barrels)

  • One day they’ll train the bipartisan legislation to stand up and physically defend democracy. Kind of like how they think the constitution and laws on paper will actually get up and stand in front of criminals, physically barring them from criminaling

  • They’re not afraid they’re manufacturing consent by manufacturing a crisis

    Every place they’re going into is relatively safe. Even DC is generally fine. I’ve lived in nyc for 7 years I’ve lived in DC for 1 year and I have friends who live in and near LA. I go into NYC often (although Times Square is a shit hole just because it’s mostly tourists), These places are large, dense areas that also have a large variance of wealth among their inhabitants. There will always be crime in cities because of density and wealth disparity; that is a given. What’s incredible is that the much, much, much less dense areas that are generally hyper-conservative have more crime per capita, yet we see no attempts to remedy those situations. Every single thing would favor them to be safer places, but we continuously ignore the ideology present there that actively threatens the existence of our race, and will continue to do so until we cease to exist

    This sickening, astroturfed fraudulent ideology must be put down if we are to survive, and that rhetoric needs to be normalized

  • Warehouse and distribution center I do some side work for has legitimately considered closing its doors. It’s been around 50+ years with a fairly healthy cash flow. I guess that’s more abstractly indicative of a failing economy not a particular sector

    Also inflation is also way way waaaay higher than reports ever indicate. Hedonic adjustment keeps adjusting for the quality of goods improving, when in reality most aren’t, and some are actively getting worse. Economists are so smart aren’t they
