A naïve business school student, presented with the behavior of the company Meta over the last ten years, would have an obvious question: Why on earth did the company waste tens of billions of dollars on this “metaverse” nonsense? It flushed something like $80 billion down the toilet building something that looked worse than the video game Second Life in 2006. The answer to this question, of course, is t

    Trump’s Debt Crisis Will Be Easy to Fix - The American Prospect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If Donald Trump were some Hiroo Onoda–style holdout from the old Soviet Union, carrying out a decades-long communist plot to destroy America, it’s hard to imagine what he’d be doing differently from what he’s doing every day. He’s wrecking the military in a deranged and completely pointless war on Iran; he’s obliterating our hitherto world-beating university system; he is gravely undermining the administrative state; he is tearing up the alliance structure with other rich nations that has underp

The Republican Party is looking down the barrel of a potentially catastrophic midterm wipeout, and Donald Trump is up to his usual tricks: dishonest promises of future bribes.

As an initial ma

    How Much Do Union-Busting Campaigns Cost? - The American Prospect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If there’s a signature American business, it might just be union busting. Bosses in this country have long stood out for their violent hatred of labor organizing. Other nations have had strikes, but few others have had labor conflicts escalate to an outright shooting war, or company thugs burning and machine-gunning a union tent encampment filled with women and children. As the robber baron Jay Gould once boasted, “I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.” Today, labor-ma

    Third Way Is Copying the Left’s Homework - The American Prospect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 2026 midterms are coming up, but many are already looking past that to the 2028 presidential election. If the generic ballot polls are any guide, the Democratic Party is likely to win decisively this year, and if Donald Trump’s approval ratings continue on their present course, and democracy can persevere for another couple of years, they will also win the presidency. So what should Democrats do with another trifecta? The centrist group Third Way is taking a break from its anti–Hasan Piker v
