"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."

Não consegui desver isso caminhando hoje no centro de Santa Maria.
É possível ser mais capacho de direita que isso? O que me assusta é que se estão vendendo é porque tem quem compre.

The lack of understanding about how orgs work, has caused many to think “dark money” is all bad, when in fact, it’s not (unless you think Planned Parenthood, MoveOn and Bernie sanders are bad).

Grave 32enne dopo un incidente sul Brennero a Borgo a Mozzano
Un uomo di 32 anni è stato portato in gravi condizioni all'ospedale di Cisanello a seguito di un incidente verificatosi sulla via del Brennero all'altezza di Borgo a Mozzano. E' stato portato prima al San Luca poi in elicottero a Pisa. Nel sinistro non sarebbero coinvolti altri mezzi.
Public libraries really ought to be better funded, but they aren’t going to be, and so it seems that for the time being stochastic piracy is going to be the only reliable means of preserving humanity’s collective cultural output for posterity.
Many forms of media require the life’s work of hundreds, if not thousands, of people to produce, but many rights holders would rather see than work become unavailable to anyone, rather than put their parasitic rentseeking profiteering in jeopardy.
That is, capital is not and cannot be scarce, UNLESS the natural resources required to produce capital using labor are subjected to rentseeking.
This is what Karl Marx got wrong.

The image depicts a street scene with a rainbow visible in the sky. In the foreground, there are two cars driving on the road: a black car on the left and a white car on the right. The background features a row of buildings, with a prominent black building labeled "CYCLEBAR" in white letters. The windows of the CYCLEBAR are red with the text "ROCK YOUR RIDE" visible. To the left, there is a white building with the word "car" partially visible. The sky is overcast, and the trees in the image are bare, suggesting a winter or early spring setting. A street sign is visible, indicating a parking area. The rainbow is faint but noticeable, arching across the sky behind the buildings.

i had to take my old mac pro desktop to the genius bar to get a repair on the disk controller. since that was the boot disk, we had to boot it up with an external disk.
the genius bar person didn't know how to do any form of low level diags or repairs, so i walked him patiently through how to throw up a terminal window, fire up fsck so we could see the failures.
genius bar: "wow. you know that terminal window stuff. cool!"
shortly thereafter:
genius bar: "yup. you're right. on board disk controller bad. we'll have to order a new mother board. you do have full external backups, so you're OK."
genius bar manager: "don't suppose you need a job? we pay $18/hr" (this was in 2007...)
me: "nah, i'm good. just email me when the board comes in."
still offends me when folks with almost no training and making barely more than mcdonald's cashier wages get called "guru" or "genius" by the employer so screwing them.
