Because the free trade policies aren't the root of the problem (ie inequality). As given enough time, global free trade policies should lead to income/wealth equalizing across the globe. Rather its unequal access to credit, and its costs, which is the real engine/cause of inequality. US has the money printer to the world's largest reserve currency, and the government as well as those who are directly subsidized by it, are those who benefit greatest. You'd be rich too, if the government printed and handed you $50 billion and didn't do the same for anyone else.

I can't believe there's no Democrat politicians out there who could've beat Trump handily. But the DNC seems totally disfunctional in picking candidates.

> it's hard to see surprise cuts as anything more than willful vandalism and a gift to global competitors.

From an outsider's point of view, anything that the Trump administration is doing sounds an awful lot like the total destruction of the United States government, and consequently the country.

Let's put it this way: there have been military coups that did a far better job at preserving state institutions, even after purging the regime. The Trump administration clearly has a different goal in mind, from internal government structure to international relations and even alliances.
> I suggest you look up how much raising children costs today vs the 1980s in both money and time.

I’m married, living in suburban California raising two of them on a single income much lower than $800,000 (much lower than 2/3 of that, too, since the hypotherical was 3 kids and I don't want that go be a distraction), I don't need to look up anything about a 1980s comparison to know that that $800k claim is sheer insanity.

> Two kids today are a much bigger status symbol than a 5 million dollar house.

No, they aren't. I mean, don't get me wrong I’d rather have my kids than the $5M house, but they definitely are not more of a status symbol than the $5M house would be.
Midterms would be way to late

Support candidates that appeal to the electorate. Find common ground. Resist demonizing the opposition. Moderates shouldn’t have to choose between polarized extremes. If you are intellectually honest you may see the ripple effect created by unfairly shutting Bernie Sanders out of the democratic nomination in 2016 set the stage for this outcome .

That sounds rather dystopian to me. Tracking all spending by each person individually. It'd be like forcing the population to use something like Bitcoin, but with every address registered to a citizen. That's a big nope from me. We could just tax higher income more and extreme wealth.
Then they should be telling him that. I'm hearing a deafening silence.
"Some people become depressed at the scale of the universe, because it makes them feel insignificant. Other people are relieved to feel insignificant, which is even worse. But, in any case, those are mistakes. Feeling insignificant because the universe is large has exactly the same logic as feeling inadequate for not being a cow. Or a herd of cows. The universe is not there to overwhelm us; it is our home, and our resource. The bigger the better." -- David Deutsch
But the people who did vote for him explicitly voted for all the stuff he's doing right now. Nothing that he's currently doing is surprising, except maybe for the fact that a politician actually followed through on so many campaign promises.
This government doesn't represent any sane informed person with a rudimentary understanding of even just the last 50 years of geopolitics. The system is clearly broken. First past the post voting is mathematically stupid. When the system no longer serves the people, violence has been the solution for the entire history of humanity. You know who doesn't like violence and prefers sign holding? The people with the boot on your throat. In 4 years, we will be given another "choice" handed to us by the business class that serves their interests, if we're lucky.

We are going down a very dangerous road, and it's not one that can be fixed by drafting a nice bill or focusing on local politics.
While I agree about Bernie Sanders I really can't see the justification in describing Harris's candidacy as a "polarized extreme". Sanders is clearly more extreme than her. (I don't think he's extreme at all, just that he's further to the left)
What scares me is that even if a slim Pro-Sanity coalition exists in both houses, Trump can simply continue to violate the Constitution willy-nilly if a core of Republicans remain complicit and block removal from office.

After all, we're not just talking about an illegal retroactive on-demand line-item veto here, but plenty of other data-points, like a President that has blanket-pardoned criminals who already violently attacked congress in his name.

What's the plan for when the USPS suddenly has "breakdowns" or "misplaces" mail-in-ballots collected from certain districts? Or when IRS tax records from candidates are leaked to opposing conservative campaigns? Citizenships being "revoked" just enough to stop people from voting?
The mechanism seems to rest on the principle of separation of powers - Congress is empowered both to write the laws, and to remove presidents. That means that there can't be a major misalignment between Congress and the executive, because if Congress thinks the president is really out of line they can boot him.

It is quite a sophisticated set-up, really. You'd think in principle that the courts would decide when the presidency isn't following the law, but the actual power to punish the president lives in the legislature and it makes much more sense when examined in terms of what incentives exist.

Snyder has a great talk at a conference where he talks about how the liberalization of Russia was a move towards the west, but they did it without a fundamental ingredient -- Rule of Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law).

So Russia was effectively cargo culting the idea of capitalism and democracy. They did things that looked right, but because they didn't understand a core principle, Rule of Law, they did not get democracy or capitalism. Instead opportunists attained all of the once governmentally owned assets, and then used their levels of wealth gained to consolidate their own power, leaving Russia in the current mafia state/oligarchy it is in.

I wish I could find it for you, but it's kind of painful to search for videos based on semantic information.

Snyder's US centric video on rule of law, was not only prescient, but it builds some of the scaffolding needed to understand just how bad everything is right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6fpu_9S31c

The Fed's chart is talking about actual wealth, but Bloomberg, despite saying "wealthiest," is really talking about the top 10% income earners. So it's not an equivalent comparison.

In all odds I think by the midterms we'll have seen:

* A massive recession as a result of tariffs, job losses, pullback in federal spending (e.g,. on infrastructure), and general economic uncertainty.
* A significant public health crisis (see measles in Texas for example)
* Russia continuing to wage war on Ukraine, and possibly further conflicts around the world as the US withdraws from international peacekeeping.

I think it depends on how you describe "wealthy". The life of someone who makes $200k a year isn't hugely different from someone who makes $50k. You still have to drive yourself to work and sit in rush hour traffic with every other peasant, for example.

When I think about wealth and quality of life, I'm usually trying to eliminate the mundane in my personal life without even thinking of the "cost". I can afford healthcare, and car maintenance.....but I'm not at a level where I can keep a personal assistant on-call 24/7 to sort through my mail and then go buy groceries even if I want them at 2am or something. It's interesting you mentioned spending a "huge sum" on organic groceries....I think I eat decently well but I live in Japan where adequate-quality food in adequate portions doesn't bust your wallet, especially if you have a USD income.

Until I can just tell someone "I have identified a problem. Make it go away, these are your restraints and constraints in finding a solution." I will still consider myself a peasant, no matter how much grass-fed beef or how many Swiss watches (just bought my first... a used limited-edition Edox) I can afford.
You're not wrong -- you're absolutely correct. The problem is that these changes will start impacting the supporters of the victors as well, it's just that the Administration will blame some other entity. We've seen the playbook before.

Not that I want anyone to lose their benefits, but perhaps there will be a sea change when people start losing their Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, Veteran benefits, just being able to forecast the weather reasonably well, flu vaccines, safe and competent air traffic control -- oh what else is on the chopping block...
It’s wild. I’ve never experienced burping food and tasting what I ate earlier, food just kinda rolls right through. Now, I get to really enjoy it a second time.

I think the idea is that with some wealth redistribution (taxes) free trade allows domestic companies to bring in larger revenues which would contribute to better education (healthcare, infrastructure etc). Then the idea is that we don't have domestic sweatshops, Nikes would continue to be made cheap offshore and the country's population could benefit from better education which would contribute to better innovation and better quality jobs

I work at a medical device company and I have heard that the people at the FDA we used to deal with are gone. the whole department. This is just nuts. I am totally in support of looking into efficiencies but the way they are going about it is totally destructive. Trump will be most impactful president in a long time. Domestically and internationally. They are tearing down everything we relied on for decades.
The way the groups typically achieve rips from streaming services is by using compromised Widevine L1 capable devices, and straight up extracting out the keys. This ends up in a dance of getting new devices when they eventually get blacklisted.
Indeed, this is really interesting question about Linux and Linus in the early days - it obviously wasn't just the price of the alternatives or the overall concept of ~Unix-on-x86 - there was something different about Linus Torvalds' approach even early on, and one can see glimpses of it in these early stories.

Trump alone could easily tank almost any R congressman's reelection chances, and with big money backing him now, they can afford to bankroll the competitor's primary campaign.

As a free user you get a few “Pro” searches a day which are more detailed and extensive in terms of summarizing. With a subscription you get more of those.

The regular basic searches you get in there for free are also good but less detailed.

Yes, their GDP is weak (nevertheless, Russia persists). No, it doesn't make any sense if you look at it through a normal Western lens, which is why there was widespread disbelief that Russia was to imminently invade Ukraine. But, as the saying goes, "Russia can't be understood by the mind alone"

Without getting into the politics of all this, what’s the point of being a centibillionaire when you have to suck up to Donald Trump in a way 99.999% of the people in this country don’t need to.

To his credit, at least Musk owns Trump. The likes of Bezos and Zuck are just sad, sad figures, who have so much money and yet so little agency.
Senate could impeach Trump or other members of the administration, but that requires a two third majority so good luck with that. Note that impeachment is specifically excluded from the presidential pardon.

But other than that, yeah, the strategy seems to be "who is going to stop us?" It remains to be seen how far he can push things before a critical majority of Republican senators will balk. For all their talk about "muh constitution" over the last few decades, they sure seem quick to abandon some constitutional basics when it's convenient. And even if he gets impeached by some unlikely set of circumstances, it remains to be seen if he actually steps down.
You disagree with “lawfare”, as in the biased application of the law to further individual interests?

Having presented no hard evidence for your claims, I can only assume the standard you demand is the scrupulous separation of interests, conflicts, and bias to demonstrate the absence of bias beyond a reasonable doubt which is a laudable standard.

Yet, you applaud to the clear, unabashed, unapologetic, intentionally biased application of the law to further individual interests. By an entity whose interests, conflicts, and bias are so thoroughly intertwined that the presence of bias is beyond a reasonable doubt.

Can you please explain why you apply diametrically opposed standards of evidence based on their alignment to your in-group?

That's a demented way of looking at the world, and it's disproven by the historical success of America as a republic, compared with countries in which "survival of the fittest" is the only rule, like Russia, or pick any dictatorship.

Survival of the fittest leads to dictatorship; dictatorships stagnate, because they spend all their energy only on maintaining power. They are efficient in one sense, at maintaining order. But they are centralized and limited in throughput and therefore are never dynamic systems capable of growth and innovation.
Only possible if they reinvent themselves and dump as many 20/80 issues as possible.
