Polanyi had observed that, in the 1930s, wealthy Germans who saw the Nazi party as a “battering ram” against trade unions and socialists were persuaded to overlook Hitler’s antisemitism because it allowed the market system to flourish, Dale said. “In the same way that a lot of Americans who find Trump distasteful today will still vote for him, a lot of German elites said to themselves: we’re quite happy funding Hitler because his street fighters will help crush the trade unions, so that we can make more profits.”

They got the metaphor wrong. Billionaires see Trump as a battering ram to break what remains of the US social support system and claim victory over the ashes.

Well there might be superceding precident and law related to aina and the public trust as defined by Hawaiian Kingdom law.

It would likely be interpreted similarly, but if you don’t actually know about the intricacies of Hawaiian constitutional law, you should really look into what I mentioned about water. That decision came about in the 1970s but has its roots in 17th and 18th century Kingdom law. It’s a kind of radical departure from how resources are viewed in other US states it’s worth trying to understand.

This is very interesting, but I wonder how much of this is related to Hawaii state law being based in Hawaiian Kingdom law.

Specifically, one thing that I do know, is that for the above reason exactly, water in Hawaii can not be bought and sold as a commodity like it can in other states, because water, as part of aina is to be managed and considered as part of the “public trust”.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Fine? Arrest and jail.

Trumps social messaging is very balkanized. Like, what is Biden gonna buy on Truth.social?

This race is shaping up to be one of the dumbest of all time.

Bidens team taking this debate was a mistake. Any platforming of Trump should be avoided.

Also? What the fuck is there to debate about? Everyone knows who Trump is. Everyone knows who Biden is. There is nothing to learn here.

Unforced error.

Also, the first time the price of something rises in the 5 minutes it takes for me to get my shopping done and get to the checkout, I’m taking a shit on the floor.

I’m with you I’m saving my dump truck load for the conveyor belt at the register.

Imagine walking down the aisle, normal day, no thoughts about the prices or any of that.

Then one day you walk down the aisle but this time you forgot your phone in the car.

Different prices. Then some one walks is coming close from the other end of the aisle. The price changes. They walk past, nonplussed. A few seconds later, it switches back.

To weaken the UK/ EU so that russia could take ukraine.

Ok. I will now seriously consider moving over to proton. I can’t trust a for-profit buisness to stay true to its mission. However, Open-AI has shown that I can’t blindly trust a non-profit to do so as well, but its ‘towards’ being able to trust.

Biden has argued, Obama squandered any ability to influence the Israeli government

Ahh yes. Biden commenting on squandering influence…

He should try a “improving my polling numbers” weekend blitz.

It really has become a cult of failure.

You are completely detached from reality. Go look up the Gallup polling data and check my methods. I’ve explained them clearly enough to be reproduced.

You aren’t interested in a conversation grounded in reality, and you just can’t comprehend something that doesn’t agree with your assumptions.

Bidens not winning this election. He hasn’t been the whole time. In 450 days he hasn’t been leading in polling. He’s a fucking disaster, and you and others who insist this guy who is visibly incapable of winning are the ones responsible for Trump.
