US officials have been playing very loose with the truth about these things. > U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams even told Americans in a late February tweet that they need to “STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing

It’s really unfortunate that these authorities have already sacrificed their respectability by being dishonest with the American people in the mask debacle.

It’s a propaganda piece. The point is to instill poor people with a fear of inflation to promote sentiment against redistribution, which is done by relating it with their everyday lives. Quality reporting is not the priority.

Gas is up because of the recent pipeline shutdown. Grocery prices have been rising since the start of the pandemic. Far more people are now accustomed to cooking at home. Anecdotally, I am one of them. I buy at least twice as many groceries

Most of those trillions were delivered to the ruling/corporate class who has used it to secure assets instead of create value. That is the source of this inflation. For example: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/

Your explanation doesn’t check out. First of all, construction hasn’t necessarily slowed down. Second, jobs were always in cities. That hasn’t changed. Third, new construction trends follow economic trends[0] and that has always been the

The U.S. almost certainly does this, but the U.S. would be able to wield its dominance to achieve a far more covert operation. The U.S. has grounded and delayed flights of foreign government officials numerous times. What makes you think th

The core critique Marxists make have of liberal politics is that liberalism is not democratic enough. Specifically, Marxists argue for democracy in the workplace whereas liberals are comfortable centralizing power over the means of producti

That is simply not true. You are partially correct on Marx’s use of the term, but by Marx’s standards, nothing about the USSR could conceivably be considered communism. Marx was starkly against pursuing revolution without first achieving ca

That is the question! But it would be mistaken to presume Marxists believe they have all the answers. Marxists have only determined that the working class has no choice but to find the answer. This is why Engels called for a scientific soc

Doctors still do house calls, but if you’re poor then you’re lucky to be seeing a doctor at all. Neither of these things have changed.

Your discounting of the budget factor among many others is brave. Many hardworking directors with high expectations have very different priorities, some which are simply big distractions from producing a quality production. This “be relaxed
