It's become painfully clear that structuring our whole society around maximising profit instead of the wellbeing of people and planet was a REALLY terrible idea.

For decades economic development has relied on tax breaks and subsidies for the largest corporations, a trickle-down approach that too often falls short.
@NYCMayor and @NYCEDC are charting a new path.
In the first deal of its kind in NYC history, the public is investing $30 million in a quantum lab - in exchange for three board seats and 15% of the revenue generated from technology it creates.
And if any firm coming out of the lab merges, gets acquired, or IPOs, the city gets a payout.
When public dollars are invested, the public should share in the wealth and innovation those investments create.

BREAKING WSJ:
The Trump admin's investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe. wsj.com/politics/policy/ilha…

Billionaires pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we ended that absurdity & applied the payroll tax to all income above $250,000, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years & benefits would be expanded by $2,400.
Let’s do it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has modeled uncapping the payroll tax with no benefit changes and found it would return the program to annual surpluses for just three years, through 2029, at which point annual deficits would resume.

Some pretty insane details on Gillibrand here including:
– Her comms director bought up to 30k of bitcoin and ether one week before Gillibrand announced a bill putting both under friendlier CFTC oversight.
– Her chief of staff invoked the Senator's role as the DSCC’s top fundraiser while pushing other Dem aides to back her crypto-friendly legislation
-Her 22-year-old son raised $30M for a startup that is backed by crypto investors, including a key Gillibrand donor.
Gillibrand on staff trading crypto: “I could care less what they do with their money. This is not a nanny state.”
I asked Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand if it bothers her that her staff trades crypto while she works on legislation that benefits the industry. “This is not a nanny state,” she said.

So basically we live in a country in which anyone can stop you on the street with no identification or uniform, and you must comply or be shot.

BEZOS: “We have real affordability problems.”
48.4% of Amazon workers are paid so little that they’re forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets, like Medicaid and SNAP, to survive.
The affordability problem is a billionaire greed problem.
Q: Why is socialism taking off in some quarters?
BEZOS: We have real affordability problems. Housing is a good example—it's a place where a lot of the government intervention that has happened has been counterproductive. If you put in place government programs that subsidize demand and constrain supply, you are going to get high prices.

The president should never joke about American cities getting bombed.
Don’t normalize his constant pathetic, insane, and completely unhinged behavior.

I feel like the President of The United States suggesting Iran should nuke Los Angeles and San Diego should be getting a little more attention than it is.
