I'm just so fucking tired of people being like "no, the free market is working!" and then ignoring all the ways that we don't actually have a free market and our markets are owned by like, twenty men in trench coats.

The article quotes the tired saw of the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money, but our government has been offering agricultural subsidies for a very long time, and it turns out that we have yet to run out of other people's money.

At your next meal, take a second to think about the people working long hours in HOT 100° temps to put food on your table. They're not just statistics. They're real people who can't avoid the heat in an air conditioned house or office. #WeFeedYou

I know they're running the most powerful country on the fucking planet, but stop treating these assholes like serious people. Talk to them like you would a child with their hand in the cookie jar, talk to them like you would a telephone scammer.

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

I don't think its good that Hank Green used Chat GPT for anything. But like, we can't be surprised, the dude did a chummy interview with Eliezer Yudkowsky. At his core, Green is a tech bro. I think he's the best possible version of that, but yeah, he is a tech bro.
