Private Equity can take over a company and, strip out its value enshitify it. This guy's doing it to a whole country.

Nice Summit. Give him the peace prize. Just as soon as all the Epstein files are released.

Scathing. One of the things I admire most about the Jews I know is that they take scholarship seriously and are expert and honest debaters. Case in point. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wasn't overthrowing Iran's elected government and installing the Shah supposed to make Iran great?

How'd we ever get to a place where these warnings became necessary? I blame the grievance media.

Australian Labor party scores huge Federal electoral victory. The opposition Liberals pushed a Trump-adjacent platform. Voters soundly rejected those divisive polices.

Outgoing opposition leader Peter Dutton just called David Littleproud a great "partner in crime." Choice words Peter. Many people felt your policies were criminal.

Power for AI. In September 2024, Constellation Energy announced plans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to sell the power to Microsoft, demonstrating the immense power needs of the tech sector as they build data centers to support artificial intelligence.[154]

And how does Australia respond? By cutting back on student visas and blaming them for a housing shortage. The world's brightest students won't be coming here.

So...did Trump and friends just all take short positions on the stock market? If he has the power to get rich off market manipulation...and he's immune, why wouldn't he take advantage?

So when will the Five Eyes program become four? Time to kick the US out of the security alliance it organised?

I reckon if they want to save some money, they need to fire everyone at the White House. Sell the place. Turn it into a Trump Hotel. Complete with the Vladimir Suite. Shee....it.

Write all the books you want but if people won't read them, then they'll have to experience authoritarianism for themselves. May as well remove warning labels from everything as well.

To show he's committed to destroying DEI, Trump's latest executive order rescinded the golf handicap. No matter who plays, his score is lower.

We're watching a private equity take over of the USGovt. Close it, cut it, chop it up, sell it off. Isnt this what happened when the USSR fell apart?
