voters are out for blood. Now, will Dems oblige?

it was federal election. not state. what california policies? texas is still red on the inside they just went blue on federal level. In other words NOTHING changed for texas, but a lot changed on federal level

there’s more nuance than that. If AOC support is coupled with heavy (and popular) DSA representation in both chambers she may actually stand a chance. So the focus right now should be elsewhere which is not to say AOC endorsement should seize, but that for that to become reality a lot of things have to fall into place. Also, just as Bernie’s “failed” candidacy did AOC challenge will force DNC to acknowledge it’s leftmost side and incorporate it’s agenda.

Can’t read entire article, but at risk of repeating what may have been stated in article I would still like to mention that Business School is not Economics science. HOWEVER Economics science turned into a dogmatic religion. So while as such science is valuable, modern Economics is utter garbage and any progressive thought is always banished from the field. Imagine physics or mathematics doing that, or even computing? So the question should be not about shutting down but about restructure and reform. What governments need to do is to employ those rare progressive economists who actually survived institutional “pecking” and make them mainstream by adopting their policies. We need economists but not the kind produced by modern schools of business.

From reading about Omarchy and community reactions it sounds like DHH is a successful grifter, milking money from corps with pictures of agentic promised land. HOWEVER grift will go bust at some point: does anyone remember SaaSpocalipse that did not materialize,along with numerous articles from people with degrees pointing out that there’s no data supporting claim that AI is actually making money for it’s peddlers or consumers. AI grifts will continue until “market” will finally acknowledge it for what it is (it’s just a new shiny tool, no more) and all the myths go bust and investors will want their money back. So - yes money got “stolen” from actual OSS projects that keep world’s lights on, yes vibecoding has not been proven to scale or endure multiple decades like Debian, Gentoo, Fedora etc. so it’ll collapse from technical standpoint, but it WILL collapse unless DHH will start applying those grants towards hiring engineers. Token money are not worth paper they are printed on so everybody just chill and let this trainwreck go off the cliff on it’s own. Shame DO got into it though… but for all the major cloud platforms who isn’t supporting fascism? What differs is the scale.
