“New York City Mayor Eric Adams tasked agency heads with trimming spending by 15 percent through next spring — but said Albany or Washington could...”

The dumpster fire smoldering in New York City isn't really about sanctuary for immigrants.  This is a story about political priorities, pandering to the rich feeding at the government trough, a corrupt press that has bamboozled the public for too long, and special interests who don't know...

“ABC host George Stephanopoulos reacted to a 'shocking' 2024 election poll showing former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden tied at 46%...”

C'mon, Demo-wits, indict him again!  We're still waiting. Other reporting shows that people who think Trump should face criminal charges would still vote for him.  When do these high-brow elitist snobs finally realize that Trump's support ain't just about Trump?  In fact, very little of Trump's...

“Fewer students study mining engineering in some key regions. Shortage of graduates risks crimping output of critical metals.”

Michael Bloomberg once said "I could teach anybody, even people in this room, to be a farmer.  It's a process.  You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.  Now comes the information economy, and the information economy is fundamentally different, because...

Isabella Weber Has Neoliberal Economists Running Scared

“Eighteen months ago economist Isabella Weber faced intense criticism for blaming inflation on corporate profits.”

Oversimplification and obfuscating smoke won't create a viable theory of economics.  Stating the obvious does not impart credibility to the oblivious. Seller's inflation?  Or buyer's inflation?  How is it possible to distinguish between the two?  And what is the role of middlemen in the economy...

“Liberal groups are trying to end Donald Trump's attempt to return to the White House by arguing he's ineligible to be president after trying to...”

When in doubt, rig the election.  Apparently liberals don't trust their own propaganda.  Spin any way possible but this is not a rousing endorsement for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  It looks like Biden has gotten liberals worried.

“Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has sued Kia and Hyundai, blaming them for the city's spike in auto thefts due to a lack of "advanced" safety features.”

REAL NEWS, NOT SATIRE.  If this story were satire it would be writing itself.  The real news is putting comedians out of business.  

Joe Biden's Proposed Social Security Changes Come With Unintended Consequences for the U.S. Economy

“A deep-dive analysis finds that President Biden's Social Security overhaul would reduce U.S. gross domestic product by 2030 and 2050.”

Another typical neoliberal screed built upon lies, skims, scams, swindles, and flimflams.  Neoliberals firmly believe they own the US economy and have a God given right to cheat people every way possible.  Neoliberals would poison the sky just to sell clean air.  Isn't that what John Kerry is...
