The Party of AOC and Rashida commemorates Fidel yesterday, demands reparations for Cuba just like Abdul El-Sayed does for the Indians lol
Abdul El-Sayed is not a member of DSA. No, no, no. His policies just closely mirror DSA's.
From the deleted tweet department of Abdul El-Sayed, Thanksgiving means that the evil American Empire should pay reparations to the Indians
Don't tell me he wasn't a kindred spirit of Francesca Hong.

Saudis ramp up oil exports using Sumed pipeline to the Mediterranean, Sidi Kerir Egypt now exporting 2.3 mbpd in August, more than double the July level
Most of this oil is now going to Europe and the U.S. instead of Asia because of the extra time and shipping cost for going around Africa.
The UAE is now in the catbird seat for shipping oil to Asia, at least until Iran decides to attack Fujairah.

Some people look at industrial production and see only stagnation since the Great Recession, I see something else
Industrial production last grew above 10% in the first half of 1984, and it's been all downhill since then.
A positive trend struggled to assert itself in the immediate post-war, but eventually succumbed to the siren song, for you Odyssey fans, of foreigners singing the song of lower labor costs.
Our country decided after the struggle of the Great Depression and the victory in the Second World War to sit back and enjoy itself rather than to work as hard as it needed to work and to let others carry the load.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
-- Luke 12:19

Gen Z hypocrites who ridiculed suburban inauthenticity now sad they'll never be able to have it
What Do Young People Really Want? The Suburbs.
A steady job, a simple house, and a quiet life used to sound like hell to many young people. Now the old American dream is back.
Politicians these days cannot stop talking about “affordability,” especially for housing. And Americans’ cries for relief have grown loud enough to push lawmakers from babbling into action. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law last month with overwhelming bipartisan support within Congress. It’s encouraging to see members of both parties coming together around something other than just spending more money—and doing so in a way that helps the young more than the old.
In fact, young people are supplying most of the pressure behind this political movement. A Pew Research poll last month found that 89 percent believe buying a home will be harder for them than it was for their parents’ generation.
And it isn’t just the homes themselves. Americans still believe the American dream is worth striving for, yet less than half believe that every American has the opportunity to achieve it. Many young people are trying to find their way toward a lifestyle their parents had that they took for granted and now feel they cannot reach as adults. That includes owning a home, having a good-paying job with benefits, and being able to afford some added comforts in addition to the necessities. In a word, suburbia.
It’s an extraordinary and ironic turn that bourgeois suburban life would become the deepest desire of many young Americans. I grew up in the suburbs in a time when you had to hate the suburbs. ...
If you want to get a feel for the zeitgeist back then, check out Green Day’s 2004 American Idiot album, especially the 9-minute-long epic “Jesus of Suburbia.” Everyone’s so full of shit / Born and raised by hypocrites. It’s a spirited rejection of George W. Bush, the Iraq War, hypocritical parents, and apparently, the suburbs. ...
