IMHO, this is because actual practices of blame and responsibility attribution have very little to do with what the agent actually caused. This is especially true in radically unequal societies

Psaki: Why do you think Mike Rogers is so far refusing to agree to a date for this debate? El-Sayed: I mean, I hate to say it, he’s a coward. Rogers the Dodger does not want to actually debate because he knows that he’s an empty suit with no new ideas
Hmm... is, say, a nurse a spreadsheet person? Healthcare has been where the job growth is....
Sam (ABeardedPanda)@abeardedpanda.bsky.social · 14h agoA major reason why we're going through so many neuroses right now is because the overwhelming majority of careers in the US are "spreadsheet people" and everyone is deeply insecure about this fact
IMHO there is enough anti-intellectualism in the Trump administration for everyone to be vindicated. Sometimes both the pancakes and the waffles are bad.
Sam (ABeardedPanda)@abeardedpanda.bsky.social · 11h agoboth of you are wrong, the Trump admin is full of MBAs who are the ones who need to be sent to the literature mines
More of a shroud than a winding sheet. Good for filling fields.

Ah this will surely work out well. Nothing bad will happen now that we've released all our strategic reserves and now will use today the reserves we stored for tomorrow.

Treasury Secretary reassures Americans that they are even better than he is at economics, on the average, so what could go wrong?

Type of guy who wants a completely planned economy but also constantly disparages spreadsheet people is an amazingly common type of guy on the Internet. Who exactly do you think is going to be planning your socialist economy.
Maybe before bombing Iran to make the people absolutely miserable, you should have talked to the top expert in the field?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 20h agoRep. Rich McCormick on Iran: "We should've taken the gloves right from the beginning and hammered them. You have to make it absolutely miserable on their populace."
The sad irony is that, despite claiming that brutal mass deportations would help Americans, a recent analysis found that surges in ICE enforcement actually led to overall job losses for both immigrants AND American-born workers. www.brookings.edu/articles/ice...

🇵🇱 PM Tusk: I think that it’s not those who stopped Nord Stream 2 who should be ashamed, but those who built it. Germany is responsible for Europe’s dependence on Russian gas. And Russia turned out to be the aggressor. Germany shouldn’t prosecute those who, when their country was attacked by Russia

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

Acting Army chief Gen. Christopher LaNeve’s move reflects a broader “back-to-basics” shift and reverses an initiative.
Trump says that any country that helps Iran will face TREMENDOUS consequences. Including Russia? Right? RIGHT?
SNYDER: What we did in Iran is just humiliated ourselves, and wasted bunch of stuff. We’ve fired so many munitions at Iran, that if we had just given them to Ukrainians, they wouldn't only have defended civilians, but that war could've been over, and the right side could've won.
Nah, I can’t be convinced this was death by suicide. Black people do not lynch themselves from trees, and the fact that these cases have been dismissed so quickly without thorough investigation is telling.
