Private insurers have financial incentives to withhold claims payments, cuz they can make interest or investment income during the wait. Meanwhile, households are stuck with damaged homes. Yet another reason we need a public good approach to home insurance! www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...
US home insurers make $8.8 million a day by delaying claim payments
A new analysis suggests those delays can also lead to millions in added earnings for insurers.

Enough with the billboards already! Everything about this situation is infuriating - a rich jerk holding a public park hostage and getting exactly what he wants: Lots of money and the right to pollute our vision for decades. Yuck. signalcleveland.org/restaurant-d...

Next City@nextcity.org · 2d agoA proposed overhaul of the Community Reinvestment Act would pull hundreds of banks out of the affordable housing tax credit market, undercutting the same incentives that the Road to Housing Act is expanding. nextcity.org/urbanist-new...
Great point. 10 years in, my anti-Trump, center-left mom still insists Trump is stupid, as if that diminishes his political success. To her credit she is working very hard to get her neighbors to vote in the midterms.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 5d agoSomething I think that underlies a lot of debates within the Democratic party and center-left right now is whether or not you think Trumpism has been successful as a political and ideological project. (Not, obviously, whether it's been good or not).
senator bernie moreno finally makes a statement about the allegations of abuse by rep. max miller against his daughter and granddaughter after miller went live on X this morning to deny everything.
Under pressure to do so, his MAGA ex-father-in-law finally spoke up against him. "I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.”

Newsies was among the few leftist things I saw as a child. Watched it last year and it holds up and I still know every word. What a godsend!
AFL-CIO@aflcio.org · 4d agoAugust 1st is the 127th anniversary of the end of the Newsboys’ Strike, where newsboys and newsgirls came together to fight against newspaper price hikes. The film and musical adaptation “Newsies” show us the true power of working people coming together to seize the day.
Per UBS, OpenAI and Anthropic will account for 27% of Google Cloud's 2026 revenue and more than 48% of 2027's. Investors are being sold a story about diverse AI demand that is simply not true - hyperscalers spent a trillion dollars to feed money back to themselves and pretend it's real growth.
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 5d agoWas awesome to join Bloomberg to talk about the lie of AI - everyone's buying into the mag7 believing CapEx is going towards diverse AI demand, when all it's really doing is supporting the circular cloud revenues of two unprofitable, unsustainable AI labs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHcZ...
Driving a car is a fascism test. If you drive with no regard for the lives of others - it's official, you're a little fascist!
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 5d agoI stopped at a red light on a road with no bike lanes, typical in Honolulu. A driver in a lifted pickup pulled up behind me, leaned out the window, and yelled, "Hey buddy, get the fuck out of my way." I promptly got on the sidewalk and waited for the green light. Cars turn people into sociopaths.
It’s always a relief when the wildfire smoke from Canada clears up. That allows the local Cleveland smells of exhaust and burning plastic to return.

I'm curious what people think about this "market humanism" idea.
Market Humanism: A New Paradigm for a New Era
Progressives have been fighting on the neoliberals’ terms. Market Humanism flips that—and provides a winning and more humane narrative. Oh—and a far more prosperous country.
