“White House staff members will be among the first to be vaccinated.”

All of these fuckers have a stain on their soul that can never be washed clean. All of them. nytimes.com/2020/12/13/wor…
And don’t tell me current WH staffers have such important jobs that they should get vaccinated first.

This is two-shot vaccine before it’s effective. The second dose will come a few days before they’re all kicked out.

This is entirely a corrupt act for the soul-stained. Again.
As I understand this policy (I’d be happy to be proven wrong), outgoing White House pols like Transportation Sect’y Elaine Chao (and her husband, Senate maj. leader Mitch McConnell) will be moved to the head of the line for the vaccine.

It’s almost as if there’s a ruling class.

This tweet - "awkshually N95 mask production is a problem that goes back decades and so was unsolvable by the Trump administration" - pisses me off more than you can possibly imagine.

But NOT because it attacks me or defends the Clowner-in-Chief.
No, this pisses me off because it’s a perfect example of learned helplessness – golly, this is a big challenge with a long history that will require some tradeoffs and hard choices, and of course NO ONE can do that.

Learned helplessness is the belief by ordinary citizens that change in the status quo is IMPOSSIBLE, even as 3,000 Americans die from Covid every day BECAUSE of that status quo.

And people ask me why I’m angry.

Trying something new … an ET note published in the clear on Twitter.

“All Due Respect”

(plz RT if it’s something you’d like me to keep doing)
“All due respect” is, of course, what you say to someone for whom you have no respect at all.

“All due respect” is one of the most frequently used Sopranos lines, and the title of one of the best episodes, where Tony kills his cousin because it’s best for business.

What is financialization?

It’s when all the stocks in the world are worth more than all the goods and services produced in the world.
This isn’t saying the market is “expensive”. This isn’t the Buffett indicator writ large.

The equity market is a social game. Global GDP is the real world.

Today we value a social game more highly than we value the real world. That’s financialization.

It’s a POLITICAL thing.

Leaked docs show China made up its Wuhan Covid numbers to create a "we're winning the Covid war" narrative.

We wrote about this on Feb. 10, the first of 4 notes over 3 weeks outlining the betrayal of the world.

First by China, then the WHO, then the US.

This was the corrupt political response of the Chinese government to COVID-19.

Thread. I may have written a few notes on this.

But heads up, @10kdiver, the “Yay, buybacks” crew will not be pleased.
Here’s the note that started the series on “Yay, stock buybacks!” as the narrative cover for massive $$ transfers to management through sterilization of stock-based comp.

It’s pretty telling that the one time - the ONE TIME - where Dem Senators pull out all the stops and miraculously get 3 GOP Senators to join them in blocking a Trump nomination is for the Federal Reserve.

It’s almost as if there’s a ruling class.

You can do what you want with the Sup Ct, but the Fed ... well that’s where we draw the line.
