Just make sure your money is in an FDIC insured account. Silicon Valley Bank was an investment bank and accounts weren't FDIC insured.

Blah blah blah, political double speak, blah blah blah

Fight misinformation with truth. Fight propaganda with proposals and actions people actually want. Build trust. Represent the voters instead of the donors.

The less hated candidate wins, but you still hate them

Somebody has to pay for the Holocaust and it's not going to be Europe, that's for sure.

The fighting over the last millennia was mostly coming from Europeans trying to colonize the Holy Land. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire they succeeded and here we are. Palestinian Muslim, Jews, Christian and others were proud to live at peace with their neighbors. The European Jews brought the racism and white supremacy to Palestine.

What are they replacing it with? It wouldn't happen to be natural gas, would it? Methane is 84 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than CO2 and all methods of extraction and transit are very leaky.

This is not to "clean the climate," but to "clean public tax dollars" and put them in private accounts.

While I'm not an advocate for coal, it is possible to filter the exhaust sufficiently that the only escaping atmospheric pollution is on par with methane power production.

Ultimately, we need to change our forever growth economic model to a model based around human survival and quality of live. The Earth won't survive another 100 years of exponential growth in GDP.

In the US you get to pick the colors of the curtains in the White House, but the policies always stay the same

I take solace in the thought of an anti-authoritarian AI taking over. Let's hope that happens sooner than later.

At least, AI will resemble intelligence. What we have running the world right now does not

There's absolutely no way to balance this equation. Capitalism as currently functioning requires exponentially growing populations to continue exponentially growing profits, which requires exponentially growing production, which requires exponentially growing energy usage. Thus, Capitalism = death to the planet. There is no such thing as "crony capitalism." There's no such thing as a regulatory system which can constrain the externalities of capitalists. Capitalism, aka free markets and wealth accumulation, is simply a broken model that only works in simplistic models with many idealistic assumptions.

I'm gonna be honest. I am going to need to see specifics. Just telling me "trust me bro" Is not convincing anymore.

He is correct in identifying the inflection point. Regarding your housing example, we're seeing, since 2021, the large scale acquisition of homes by investment firms and thus private companies having the power to engage in price manipulation.

Welcome to the concept of quantitative to qualitative transition. Monarchies still exist today and subsequently feudalism in some small realms. But capitalism is the predominant mode of production. Yanis is arguing we have transitioned to a new mode of production where free markets are no longer the primary way consumers access goods. He is obviously correct about markets, but I'd argue it's still just monopoly capitalism.

The US will ban any and every channel for information it does not control. Biden "Plans to Give the Administrative State Effective Control of all Internet Services and Infrastructure in the U.S." ( https://docs.fcc.gov/public/at... )
