As far as I can tell, in the last 250 years of the U.S., NOBODY has ever commissioned a comprehensive, systematic study of what Americans actually understand about where their tax dollars go. Um, I think this is a problem.

Problem #3 with space: we're getting the order very, VERY wrong. I love Star Trek. But in Star Trek, humans didn't go to space to ESCAPE the Earth. They went there AFTER fixing a...

WTF is the difference between neoliberalism, liberalism, and libertarianism...?? And also, I'll tell you how Ayn Rand REALLY felt about libertarians. You can't make this stuff up...

In the industrial age, separation became normal. Business here, environment there. Departments. Clean boundaries between work and home. But now, these walls are gone. And with the walls gone, the truth is much easier to see.
If you’re a leader, the question isn't whether the outside world is affecting your people... It is. The question is whether you're going to help them make sense of it or not. You get to CHOOSE if you pay The Dysregulation Tax.

You probably knew Lyft & DoorDash drivers aren't "employees" so they don't get "benefits." But did you know companies have been using this same strategy inside their offices? My Full Time Employed friends — this one's for you.
I get really sick of "mainstream media pundit"-type folks dropping the ball when they could stand up for people and for good ideas. In this clip, I give the Hard Fork Podcast a good forking, and tell you exactly why an A.I. Shared Wealth Fund doesn't require the "U.S. to transform into Europe." 🙄
"Neoliberalism" = how well do you know this word? It's not about politics. It's not even about liberalism, really... It’s about a word that has been quietly messing with your life for decades… even if you’ve never said it. Don't miss this week's episode of Hello Tomorrow, available now!
When a system is incomprehensible, it becomes unaccountable. When this happens, the "fog" stops being a side effect, it's started being the actual PRODUCT. And the beneficiaries are the same people who wrote the budget in the first place.

Across the country, Democrats are delivering major election wins at every level. Republicans are afraid - and they should be. It's clear as day: Democrats WILL take back the country in 2026, and deliver a better future for American families.

Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to see Pac-Man collide with Blinky onscreen during the first intermission of the original game. If you were to play a modified version of Pac-Man that speeds Pac up, though, you can see Pac-Man moves past Blinky and wraps around the screen when he's big.

Even Dugin,the ideologist of the "Russian world,"lacks a vision for Russia’s future There are people within Russia’s highest leadership circles who are beginning to realize that Russia has reached a dead end and that Putin is making utterly senseless, self-destructive decisions.
Jim Ratcliffe's claim that migrants have colonised Britain is classic billionaire projection. Billionaires' wealth depends on extracting value from workers' labour. We're all in this pyramid of the capitalist system, billionaires at the top, workers and migrants at the bottom.
