#Warren
If you pay attention to what #Warren #Buffett thinks, you’re probably doing it for investment advice, not #geopolitical #predictions.
But there’s something more than a little unnerving about the “Oracle of Omaha” selling his conglomerate’s remaining shares in the world’s largest chipmaker, #Taiwan #Semiconductor #Manufacturing #Co. (TSMC), because he isn’t confident that Taiwan is a safe place to do business anymore.

@wonkette_bot Fouts is #Warren’s own little local Fascist wannabe. He’s been mayor of Warren #Michigan forever and has managed a re-election despite recordings of him using racial slurs. He is currently trying to fight the recent passage of a term limit, arguing that it can’t apply to him “retroactively” as the incumbent.

A story for today #2204 #Alice #James #Warren #oops https://www.alancrawford.com.au/apartment-2204/
Begun reading #Chokepoint #Capitalism by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic and it's interesting to see a very identifiable political thread in its blurb people- Adam Conover, Lawrence Lessig, Zephyr Teachout, Jimmy Wales.
These people, who I would, personally, characterize as left-liberals much of the time, provide an interesting anchor point in the political and economic movement for #socialjustice. Some of them have gained an amount of reach and are viewed as experts or at the very least accessible communicators.
In the introduction we see a point of tension in the dialectic between "the minimum demand" (mild, almost performative reform) and "the maximum demand" (#revolution from the root to a different system). #Trotsky is known for the transitional program, but *Reform and Revolution* by #Luxemburg, a bunch of #Kautsky. It's a very long current in the camp of people that want to replace the relations of society and production.
Fascists obviously have used critiques of capitalism in order to gain a political audience, but Germany during the Third Reich reminds one a lot of the kind of incestuous relationship of dominant industry and the political elite.
The question is basically, can what is in many ways a deep overhaul of the #administrative state, something everyone thinks of when they think of Sen. Elizabeth #Warren, really possible? There has to be enough "democracy in the system" to get to the end point, and the US in particular has both issues of #federalism and a federal judiciary that despises the administrative state. Also changes such as relate to monopoly, monopsony, and competition, may in some cases lack what I think is the core way that #reformism can be built upon- stickiness.
I mean essentially that universal benefit programs, well funded, are the most difficult to reverse from the free-market right. They have a very large supportive population that melds the poor, working class, and aspects of the petty bourgeoisie and professionals together in common interests.
Targeting, as is done in neoliberalism, creates inter-class conflict among those not in the elite, and can be stoked additionally by #race, #citizenship, and other factors. Neoliberalism by design when it does #welfare makes programs extremely brittle and easy to defund.
So even though the Tories have had two decade and a half long reigns in power since 1979, and Tony Blair was thoroughly a center-right New Labour PM, the #NHS has stubbornly stuck around even in its crisis state. It has resiliency.
But having enough #democracy in the system is difficult. We can look at Castillo in #Peru and #Boric in Chile, who both rode into power promising a fundamentally new, inclusive, and anti-neoliberal constitution. Actually getting through entrenched power structures, a right-wing #media apparatus, and the eternal riddle of many aspects of a #constitution being popular but at a referendum it adds up to less.
The phrase "#Chile will be the tomb of #neoliberalism imagines an end to neoliberalism- #AMLO talks about this a lot whatever you might think of his time in power. But how do you get over the hump? How do you dispatch it, and make sure it doesn't return? How do you hold sustained power so the capitalists can't just reverse all that can be done? How can genuine democracy and social justice come to fruition?
I don't have a lot of answers, but I appreciate how much was sparked just in the introduction of Chokepoint Capitalism
Moim ulubionym filmem ze zmarłą przed miesiącem Raquel Welch jest adaptacja "Trzech muszkieterów" w reżyserii Richarda Lestera z 1973 i 1974 roku (film podzielono na dwie części, na długo przed współczesnymi blockbusterami).
Jest to w zresztą jeden z moich najukochańszych filmów w ogóle, odkąd obejrzałem go za dzieciaka. To film, do którego regularnie wracam. Który odcisnął na mnie silne piętno. Bo wykształcił we mnie duże wymagania względem filmów płaszcza i szpady (którym niewiele tytułów było w stanie sprostać), przygodowych (takoż) i w ogóle blockbusterów (tym bardziej). A także przekonanie, że nie było, nie ma i nie będzie na świecie ludzi piękniejszych od Faye Dunaway i Oliviera Reeda (wskutek czego każdy film, w którym pojawia się Dunaway lub Reed ma u mnie z automatu dwa oczka w górę). A nawet – choć to dużo później – myśl, że Charlton Heston może nie był aż takim drewnem aktorskim, jak sądzę, że był. To film, który, pisząc te słowa, zachciałem znów obejrzeć, bo uzmysłowiłem sobie, że nie widziałem go od dobrych kilku lat.
Ale właściwie to ja nie o tym chciałem. To zdradzieckie myśli i palce, stukające po klawiaturze, w sposób niekontrolowany poniosły mnie w te rejony. Bo chciałem napisać, że choć moim ulubionym filmem z Welch jest adaptacja "Trzech muszkieterów" w reżyserii Lestera, to trudno zaprzeczać, że z jej całego aktorskiego dorobku w annałach popkultury najwyraźniej zapisała się rola w "Milion lat przed naszą erą" ("One Million Years B.C.", 1966, Don Chaffey) wraz z koncepcją prehistorycznego bikini.
I ta rola, a właściwie poza Welch z mocno eksploatacyjnego plakatu do filmu, doczekała się ciekawej przeróbki na gruncie komiksu – a konkretnie tego, co w amerykańskiej branży komiksowej określane jest mianem "swipe". Stało się to w historii "El Cid", opublikowanej w 66. numerze magazynu komiksowego "Eerie" z 1975 roku, którą do scenariusza Budda Lewisa zilustrował Gonzalo Mayo. Ciekawe, prawda?

Biden team enlists top Democrats in early bid for campaign unity
President Biden’s team is moving quickly to build a “national advisory board” stocked with Democratic governors, senators and other political stars who will travel and speak on Biden’s behalf during his expected reelection campaign.
In joining the operation, the political leaders will be asked to travel, attend events, appear on television and perform other duties as high-level surrogates for the Democratic Party, at first, and then Biden once he launches his campaign.
Biden aides said some Democrats are still being asked to join the effort, but they have already enlisted more than 20 national figures.
They include such influential governors as Gavin #Newsom of California, J.B. #Pritzker of Illinois, Gretchen #Whitmer of Michigan, Wes #Moore of Maryland, Josh #Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Phil #Murphy of New Jersey. Some of the recruits represent the party’s left flank, with which Biden has had a mostly friendly but sometimes uneasy relationship, including Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (Mass.) and Rep. Ro #Khanna (Calif.).
