Miguel Afonso Caetano"Mangione in many ways embodies exactly what MAGA hates: an Ivy League graduate who had “learned to code” and whose rhetoric about the healthcare system could have been ripped from the pages out of a Bernie Sanders speech. (In fact, the University of Pennsylvania from which Mangione graduated, just had $175 million in funding suspended by President Trump, who takes issue with its policy on transgender athletes.)Bondi says that Mangione’s alleged act involved “substantial planning and premeditation,” another criteria that creates the aura of terrorism, rather than just conspiracy.Then comes the most absurd claim of all, with Bondi saying that because there were “bystanders nearby,” Mangione’s actions “may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons.” (Mangione reportedly decided against using a bomb for the explicit purpose of avoiding harm to anyone else.) Under this logic, the government could choose to prosecute any arsonist or perpetrator of road rage as a terrorist. It’s hard to think of any violent crime that doesn’t hypothetically endanger bystanders.Charging individuals with terrorism or labeling them as terrorists is inherently a political decision on the part of the government. Currently there are only three individuals in American jails awaiting execution for crimes labeled terrorism:"<a href="https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigi-mangione-becomes-a-political" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigi-mangione-becomes-a-political</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inequality</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Healthcare</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicHealth</a>

everton137No, you don’t want the US to collapse. Too many countries depend on it, and a sudden breakdown would create chaos. If you come from the Global South, you might feel more empathy for those harmed by American foreign policy for several decades. But if the world’s most powerful military and economy slides into dictatorship - or worse - the consequences will hit everyone, especially weaker economies and vulnerable people.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/globalsouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#globalsouth</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inequality</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayHere's Virtual Capitalist's chart on where High Net Worth Individuals reside... what is interesting (for us, here in the UK) is that while the UK ranks 7th in number of HNWI (and around the same for headline GDP), when you look at GDP, per capita the UK ranks in the mid-20s, which gives you another way of seeing the levels of economic inequality in the UK right now...[Yes, one might also expect the Hong Kong figure to be included in the Chinese total!]<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inequality</a>

Kent PitmanContinuing my own mini-filibuster inspired by Booker's unbelievable one, I want to add also my thoughts on the issue of deregulation of consumer protections.In a 2009 essay, I made an argument that credit cards, especially the high rate ones, are a safety net of last resort, available to the poor who are ABANDONED by public safety nets, but who are forced to rent a second government that DOES offer a safety net. Those high interest rates are the TAX they pay to that privately rented government that offers them a lifeline. But the tax is not deductible. So they are double-taxed in a way rich people and businesses would never stand for. That's overly brief, but maybe you see where I was going. See the essay for more detail.Credit Cards: A Tax on "Being Poor" <a href="https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/01/credit-cards-a-tax-on-being-poor.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/01/credit-cards-a-tax-on-being-poor.html</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BookerSolidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookerSolidarity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BookerFilibuster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookerFilibuster</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SenatorBooker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenatorBooker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SenatorCoryBooker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenatorCoryBooker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Booker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Booker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oligarchy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GoodTrouble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodTrouble</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CreditCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CreditCards</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxation</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DoubleTaxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoubleTaxation</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inequality</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poverty</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SafetyNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SafetyNet</a>

Kent PitmanContinuing on a parallel commentary with Booker's AMAZING ongoing speech, I just want to inject by way of solidarity...It's not just about stopping the bleeding, and there ARE surely people who are literally bleeding (or worse), it's about insisting on a better morality.One of the issues is this whole issue of taxation, just as a general proposition.I do not side with those who think that everyone should be taxed. I've heard some say "everyone needs skin in the game". To that I say, being poor IS having skin in the game, it doesn't need us to add insult to injury.I think we should tax the rich, not as a punitive thing, but because we live in a society where our morality should be that no one succeeds without bringing others along. We should tax legit surplus, in other words. And we should have a society where people ASPIRE to be wealthy enough to pay tax.That we have created a society in which the rich can claim injury due to taxation but the poor cannot claim injury for having safety nets removed is a SERIOUS breach of morality.You can read more detail on that in my 2009 essay Tax Policy and the Dewey Decimal System.<a href="https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/02/tax-policy-and-dewey-decimal-system.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/02/tax-policy-and-dewey-decimal-system.html</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BookerSolidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookerSolidarity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BookerFilibuster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookerFilibuster</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SenatorBooker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenatorBooker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SenatorCoryBooker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenatorCoryBooker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Booker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Booker</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oligarchy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GoodTrouble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodTrouble</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxation</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inequality</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poverty</a>
