lol i take it he's big on her? I just said her for the California element.

 

California? Kirsten is from NY.

 

WTF Who am I thinking of then?? Ugh, this is the second time this week i've done this. Sorry all!

Edit: Def not Kamala

 

The funny thing is...she was against it two days ago. But without the threat of impeachment, the admin wasn't giving this whistleblower complaint over.

So, again, we see that they keep saying they're against impeachment until they can "Get all the facts" and etc blah blah, but an impeachment inquiry is literally an investigation to gather all the facts and then decide if you need to impeach or not.

So STFU Tulsi.

 

With the news these past few days, I just can't get Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" out of my head.

 

I like Imran Khan more and more and am ready to be milkshake ducked.

 

Here's something to replace it

 

why did you do this

 

There it is. Figured she didn't just wake up today and see the light.

 

Crazy to see republicans start to break ranks

 

WeWork and Counterfeit Capitalism

Endless money-losing is a variant of counterfeiting, and counterfeiting has dangerous economic consequences. The subprime fiasco was one example. Another example was the Worldcom fraud in the late 1990s, which forced the rest of the U.S. telecom sector to over-invest into broadband. Competitors have to copy their fraudulent competitors. It’s a variant of Gresham’s Law, which says that “bad money drives out good.” If you can counterfeit something for cheap, the counterfeit will eventually take over the entire market and drive out the real commodity. That is what is happening in our economy writ large, a kind of counterfeit capitalism as ‘leaders’ like Neumann are celebrated and actual leaders who can make things and manage are treated like dogshit.

This kind of counterfeit capitalism is terrible for society as a whole. At first, with companies like Walmart and Amazon, predatory pricing can seem smart. The entire retail sector might be decimated and communities across America might be harmed, but two day shipping is convenient and Walmart and Amazon do have positive cash flow. But increasingly with cheap capital and a narrow slice of financiers who want to copy the winners, there is a second or third generation of companies asking Wall Street to just ‘trust me.’

 

Things are only going to get more stupid.

(Oh, and, index funds or blind managed accounts should be the only kind of investment anyone in congress should be allowed to have.)

 

God, I reallllllllllllllly want to know what was said in that conversation with Putin that Trump had the notes written by the only other person in the room destroyed.

Can an impeachment inquiry give them power to interview that person.

 

Founders: Removal from office is not the only purpose of impeachment

 

Man, that’s like the bummer version of Liner Notes. I was interested because I have an acquaintance that works kinda high up at WeWork and I was interested in the drama. I loved the idea of what they do and love the pics she shares when she’s building out an office but man what a mess.

 

I posted that a month or two ago but that’s okay because I will never not re-post it when I see it. So good.

 

These people are so fucking dumb every time man, bias doesn't require conspiracy, it really should be impossible to be in a union of journalists without reading manufacturing consent
