  • No. Democratic socialism is a philosophy that believes in democracy first, socialism second.

  • Steve Huffman is now a billionaire after a profitable quarter for reddit

  • The last year before the IPO he paid himself 200 million, same as the google CEO that year

    Edit: it was the last year he could get away with it, I mean

  • How about that

  • https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2023/08/22/IMF-Fossil-Fuel-Subsidies-Data-2023-Update-537281

    According to this 3 year old data set, US direct and indirect subsidies for the Oil and Gas industry ALONE account for ~750 billion per year.

    Agricultural subsidies add another $30 billion per year.

    Wal-Mart, just a single company, benefits from around 7.5 billion per year in public spending.

    The US government literally hands our tax revenue DIRECTLY to the rich. And then says we have no money for SNAP. Like stop giving Lockheed and General Dynamics and BAE and Raytheon a trillion dollars a year. The US government is a machine for taking money from working people and handing it to the rich, just like pretty much every other aspect of society at this point.

  • Isn’t there a Berkshire index fund? They’re a public company and their positions are all public

    Is this Buffet’s personal portfolio?

  • My parents like Pete Hegseth. How is this possible?

  • Are they white? Do they have an aversion to non-white people? Do they make enough money to materially benefit from the Trump era tax policies? Yes to any 2 and you’ve got an answer, no to all 3 and I’m as stumped as you are.

  • Fucking right

    Jump

  • Billionaires, and the corporations they own, cost the taxpayer exponentially more than the people who rely on SNAP for food security. The tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts that many large corporations benefit from are a HUGE cost, I wonder if anyone has ever added them all up?

  • It will be interesting to the the intersection of white nationalism and support for Israel. The right really likes Bibi, cause he’s conservative; but it might be difficult to keep Israel’s partnership when the American right is allying with pretty vicious anti-semites

  • apparently the bubble might not be as extreme as some people think because the major AI players are all being propped up by companies that actually produce revenues and profits

  • YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice

    Jump

  • a relatively cheap NON-VEGE way to add protein to this base is pork butt/shoulder (same thing) cooked slow all day, either slow cooker or oven at 250F. Its a cheaper cut of meat and one of them is enough to add protein to like 6 servings or rice+beans. Also, bone-in skin-on chicken thighs are great and less expensive- if you render some of the chicken fat out in your cooking vessel before cooking the rice and beans it is a big flavor boost.
