Might be overselling the reality factor.
I think we’ve missed the point. “America first” is self referential for him. If a job he needs done can be done cheaper, that’s the right thing to do; that’s his America, and he’s the top American (because anyone who thinks otherwise is a criminal or demon, or doesn’t count for any other reason he comes up with on the fly). So if it gets him ahead, that’s by definition “American.”
I have no mouth, and I must scream.
The underlying problem is that the winners have no motivation to change the system.
I don’t think that works unless it is dissolved and the shares distributed when the initial investment is recouped (with reasonable interest). And that value would have to be reasonable and fixed at the outset.
Otherwise, the capital class seems to have the same motivation to grow that value at all costs in perpetuity the same way they do today. Taken to a cynical conclusion, your suggestion reminds me of the situation with red lobster (and local hospitals, etc) where VC buys the company, sells the assets (to themselves at grossly undervalued rates presumably to payoff debts owed by the company), and leases them back.
If the labor class doesn’t have the ownership stake in the capital investment (including any IP), it seems to violate the very basic principles presented.
This just in: scientists disprove validity of thought experiment; philosophers remain concerned that they’ve missed the point.
And shake it all up.
“Well that’s just more proof that it’s all rigged!”
Travelers were definitely securely on the ground. Upset, but secure.
From what I can see, their whole Nobel is just claiming to have discovered things everyone in many other disciplines has known for decades (at the last). Maybe economists are just a bit slow.
Neoliberal hacks gonna hack I guess.
You seem deflated.
Someone has to be the one to write it down.
But I wonder why it needs to be recorded at all. Selective service enrollment?
The title, body of the article, and conclusion aren’t cohesive at all.
I get the site has an ax to grind, but at least rewrite your title after writing your conclusion: “at least we’re talking about new takes on masculinity at all.”
I’m also disappointed they omit any discussion of hunting as responsible conservation and instead talk about how he’s better at shooting clays than Republicans (do they not understand that “clay” is the material and not the species of pigeon?)
If I’m generous, their thesis is that making meat jokes to a vegetarian is cringe and represents a remaining element of toxicity to his masculinity, but yeesh; between the dad joke quality and the fact that corn dogs and turkey legs are long held traditions of the fair, it really falls flat.
The rest of the “hard hitting take” is really not correlated to his personal meat consumption. But it’s ultimately reasonable criticism (and ties into their mission statement). Factory farms, meat packing, and ethanol are big business (and thus job sources) in MN, so yeah, as governor they’d like him to work on that, but a hit piece is a real shit way to get anyone to want to give you the time of day.
Edit: completely forgot to give you props for “nothing-burger!” Scared the cat when I laughed.
Basically in the same situation as you, but I follow a mastodon clone of the KamalaHQ xitter account. If I share the mastodon link, it takes you to the xitter post to watch the video, but in the mastodon app, it plays directly.

Anti-consumer corporations right now:
So they’re going to pay the UN to put it back up, right? … Right?!
Exactly.
We cannot afford to fall victim to the Nirvana fallacy.
We must work within the system to change the system or we risk being excluded entirely.
