In my opinion youโ€™ve already contributed so much free of cost to us Canadians that itโ€™s not really a big ask of us to help you out with something, it is actually something people would pitch in for and I wouldnโ€™t feel like thatโ€™s bad of you to do

After this week it is very clear that the Canadian left needs to be put into some kind of mandatory financial literacy course. Carneys tax plan is good!!! I will debate anyone that says otherwise!

Yeah I said itโ€™s distributionally equivalent. FWIW I donโ€™t think ownership is remotely what matters if a state that already has regulatory power takes care of the distribution with the tax.

Can one of you Dggers give me the lowdown on why I get called sex pest or pedo supporter because I have a cordial relationship with Destiny? I donโ€™t pay attention to streamer drama so I genuinely donโ€™t know.

Are you familiar with snark communities? Basically, itโ€™s an internet phenomenon where losers will organize around a creator to harass and defame them. One such creator would be Destiny, who had a snark community form around him a few years ago. (1/3)

I sort of know what snark is because of paparazzi type stuff with celebrities didnโ€™t know streamers had this too

because itโ€™s easier to dismiss someoneโ€™s political takes if you deliberately lie about them and his supporters than if you actually have to intellectually engage with them.

Because people on your side (not saying you, youโ€™ve genuinely always been good faith) will just drown it with โ€œheโ€™s a pedo heโ€™s a sex pestโ€ which Iโ€™ve already heard ad nauseam

Just listened to @jonlovett talk to @mcmoynihan They talked some about why liberalism feels like it has no energy. Jon is right when he says that liberals too often speak in disconnected policies and not in terms of a comprehensive worldview This is liberalism as I understand it

I donโ€™t think your positions are irreconcilable with the sort of historical version of social democracy. Liberals like Wollstonecraft, Mill, and Rawls all came up with a rough formation of liberal socialism

Surely this will help with depressed turnout! Bringing out a public figure that makes us want to lobotomize ourselves!
Great to welcome @jakepaul to the Treasury Department today. Jakeโ€™s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Hard to feel bad for these orgs when they spent the last year and a half treating Trump with kid gloves because they liked the โ€œaccessโ€ to the president or whatever

Itโ€™s one step closer to making cash flow the tax base, which is equivalent to a SWF, thus making a SWF distributionally redundant

This misses the point of socialist conceptions of SWFs which isnโ€™t to send cash flows out, but to slowly democratize ownership of the productive assets of the economy. You are free to disagree with that but there is a fundamental distinction

Hasan says it probably would have been better to not do the Axios interview Points out journalists like Axios's Alex Thompson are all aiming to be the interview that takes him down "Probably better if I just didn't do the interview at all..certainly would have been better if I didn't say pound for pound. Sometimes it's fine even if things are correct, perhaps not everyone can say them..perhaps someone with a name like Hasan who is being aggressively slammed into the campaign of a guy who's named Abdul should not be saying those things regardless I'm too hard headed and too stubborn to a fault, especially when it comes to analysis and perspective" "The media environment is unfair, we know that already..the PR crisis management mentality..if I had a publicist..would be to never do an interview like that at all..to never do any interviews in general, not even positive ones bc God forbid they take something I'm saying out of context..and then use it against the Abdul race..it's not fair, but we don't live in a fair world..for every one pearl clutching tweet about this, there are about 3 who ask, is this wrong? That's important" "Every journalist in the media is looking for the interview that takes a person down, and considering that I've become public enemy number 1..there are going to be more contentious interviews going forward..Alex Thompson came up to the mantle and he swung, I don't think that it is as devastating as he thinks this isโ€
