The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it

— Fortune (i.e., the media)

Didn’t read it (thank you for your service), but this alone made it seem fishy.

Opinion piece full of pseudo-accounting whose proposed solution is far-right austerity:

First, Congress should pass the bipartisan H.R. 3289 — Fiscal Commission Act, sponsored by Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA), and 41 co-sponsors. Such a commission would force a public reckoning with the facts, the trade-offs, and the hard choices that restoring fiscal health requires.

Second, Congress should call an Article V Convention limited to proposing a fiscal responsibility amendment to the U.S. Constitution. H.Con.Res. 15, sponsored by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), would do exactly that.

This opinion is calling for writing a Texas Republican's definition of "fiscal responsibility" – a man who cited Thessalonians 3:10 for cutting SNAP benefits – into the US Constitution.

Notice how tankies only cry about "leftist infighting" when it's their people you criticize?

This isn’t the criticism lemmy.ml thinks it is. It’s actually a mature, sober take on the reality of the situation.

Is it me or has there been a lot more lemmy.ml crossposting to other instances lately?

I have that instance blocked because of tankie crap like this. But, more of it is showing up as crossposts, now.

Looking at Cuba and that embargo sure as heck doesn't seem to be affecting the Pymes. Appears that on the books these private Small and Medium sized businesses were always allowed. Before Covid they were shifting to tourism and its wild that they hadn't legalized them before 2021. I understand the principles early on but post-Soviet collapse it just doesn't makes sense why they hadn't leveraged that option.

I like where Zohran is going with this framing though. Its pretty clear he is flipping the table on Trump's threats. The media is peddling the DSA fear and has already primed the public. So he is just setting this standard that its Dictator actions to meddle in elections.

He's right.

And so the character assassination begins

Static graphics are so last year. Here is Yakko showing us how it is done:

The only defensible one is Yugoslavia. I believe Operation noble anvil saved lives.

Trump had him killed to distract from Epstein, CMV

I always knew this fucker was a total piece of shit. But I'm still flabbergasted to hear some of the things he actually said. And to think he was killed by a guy who thought he wasn't Nazi enough. Just mindboggling.

An improvement compared to what he had while alive

Now he has zero brain processing power 🤣

Its been my experience that black women run most cities and county offices near me. They do so with diligence, intelligence, and expertise. Its impressive to me and I am thankful for them.

Charlie is accustomed to a world where black women are forced to work menial jobs for meager pay. When you do that to anyone you won't get their best. I've worked with some incredibly intelligent and kind black women, they were just able to get a good education like myself.

Depriving people of humanity, and the basic dignity of being able to receive a fair wage for the work that they do, when there is more than enough to go around. That was Charlie fucking Kirk's platform, and is benefits the few and privileged, at the determent of everyone else
