No one wants to hear that the best thing you could do to help with the cost of tuition in the long run is to stop subsidizing huge tuition loans.

Since FTC is suing Amazon over 6 clicks to cancel, I decided to see how many clicks it would take me to file a public comment on something on the FTC's website. On the second click I got this.

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Sen. Lucas & I probably don’t agree on everything, but she is an absolute LEGEND for fighting the most egregious stadium deal in history! Politicians around the country need to take notes from her on how to 1. Not to get bullied by a billionaire & 2. Bully them right back. 👏👏👏

There is precisely *one* domestic manufacturer of commercial airliners in the United States. They have effectively one, maybe two, global competitors… but American antitrust officials are busy suing Amazon who competes with everyone.

A good way to tell whether or not you’re being censored is if you get a column in the Wall Street Journal that they then share on the internet

Ok I just read the complaint. The canceling process I did before I read the complaint is still six clicks and not substantially different than the complaint... and again it took me less than a minute and required zero phone calls. Six. Clicks. The horror.

I just canceled my Prime membership (and re-enrolled) in under a minute...? It's a good thing the FTC hasn't done everything possible to destroy its credibility lately or otherwise my experience would lead me to believe this is just ideological.

Environmental review that’s 3 years behind schedule for a place that’s already in a completely developed urban core and is currently covered by train tracks and concrete. Incredible stuff.
