This is something that will probably be lost in the churn of the news cycle because most people don't understand it, but it's actually really bad for the US government. The reason this country has been able to get by with such a large debt until now was that the interest was kept low by the fact that lending money to the US was seen as very safe. A change in that status quo could bring the whole house of cards crashing down with calamitous results.

What the fuck? Why would you do that!?

It seems pretty on-topic for Leopards Ate My Face, though?

Note that this applies to the primary also, so it might damage him by encouraging his Republican challengers to stay in the race.

Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I'm sure it will be fine.

Clean the filter in your dishwasher once every month or two, depending on how often you use it.

Anyone else getting deja vu? It feels like this is exactly the same thing we've been through before, but with cars instead of houses.

So...the same reason everything else sucks, basically.

Rich guys like Musk spend so much time getting their ego stoked that I think he might genuinely be unable to process the idea that he made a mistake. The wealthy can never fail, only be failed.

There's a similar issue with chocolate. The major chocolate brands were sued over heavy metal levels in their products a while back and had to agree to set upper limits, but it's still a concern.

There are some real disgusting people here. Anyone who thinks that the solution to climate change is to kill a lot of humans should consider going first.

In socialist analysis, there are really only two classes: the working class and the capitalist class. The difference is that the capitalist receive passive income from their legal ownership of the means of production and while they may choose to do some sort of work, they are not dependent on their pay for survival.

The idea of the "middle class" is a relatively recent invention which in this analysis serves to divide the workers by giving some of them the impression that they are higher status than others while still leaving them subordinate to the capitalists.
