Reminder:
The 2020 Dem primary debates featured (literally) 21 questions about paying for social programs, but 0 about paying for war
US public finance discourse is a smokescreen meant to confuse our understanding of power, money, & real resources
Janet Yellen: 'We can certainly afford two wars'. It is really just a matter of coming up with "funding" which is really just a matter of Congressional GOP getting their act together. In a foxhole fiat money logic turns partisan!

this is why we have to break out of the "taxpayer money" trap
this rhetoric is consistently wielded against policies that would help everyone, but certain communities especially. it's not neutral or universally appealing. it speaks to certain classes.
Pelosi also questioned the policy wisdom of cancelling student loan debt:
“Suppose…your child just decided they, at this time, [do] not want to go to college but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations. You may not be happy about that."

Calling $USDC "Digital Dollars" is deceptive under Dodd-Frank. Circle is exploiting the common understanding of $US stability even tho it is issuing a private liability denominated in a private unit of account & cannot guarantee the stability of a $USD-denominated bank deposit.
For the first time in history, we can activate the full economic potential of humanity thanks to digital dollars like $USDC. See how USDC might be the secret to financial inclusion.

I'd go even further and suggest we should approach "political capital" from a perspective of abundance rather than scarcity. Oftentimes, "spending" political capital generates rather than depletes the stock.
@AOC

the funny thing about “political capital” as a metaphor is that it is only ever used as a way to rationalize limits, when the whole point of capital is that it’s invested in productive capacity.

disappointing take. in an era of preemptive surveillance & predictive analytics - conducted via public-private partnership - privacy is an irreducibly social issue

is modeled -- at the systems design level -- on the hoarding of precious metals from the Earth. This extractive process has not served the Earth -- or most of its people -- very well.
