He's going to have the same attitude when it comes time for him to leave office.

Boycott Starbucks
Lol I genuinely can't remember the last time I had Starbucks. There's always a small business coffee shop doing it better just about anywhere you go if you bother to look.

‘I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul’: voters who left over Gaza return for progressive push
If we weren't stuck in this two party system, the Democratic party would have been made obsolete a long time ago.

I remember hearing about basically this literally a decade ago. Nothing's been done about it since then. Nothing will be done about it now. Not unless we make a fuss about it at which point they'll pretend to give a shit about us and make grand gestures towards transitioning away from receipts made from hazardous materials. Meanwhile, they'll continue to knowingly expose us to some other hazardous material for the next decade until some independent research team uncovers how it's slowly poisoning everybody who comes into contact with it. And thus the cycle continues.
Under capitalism, there is no incentive to do anything for the benefit of humankind when it comes into conflict with the ultimate goal of accumulating as much wealth for yourself as humanly possible. It will always corrupt.

AOC loses bid for top seat after Pelosi schemed against her
It's great to see the Democrats have learned absolutely nothing and continue to refuse to evolve.

Billionaire island where Bezos lives lobbies state gov to flush its poop down neighbor town’s pipes
For reference, $10M is 1% of $1B. Jeff Bezos is worth $225B, so that would be 1/225 of 1% for him to foot the bill. Considering there are many other multi-billionaires living on that island, that brings our fraction of a single percent of their collective wealth closer and closer to effectively zero.
The greed of billionaires is unfathomable.

A cut, sure, but the whole fuckin thing?
How insurance should work: Disasters are unpredictable, are bound to happen and can be very expensive to resolve. So instead of each individual risking bankruptcy for participating in a system, everybody pools together money at a much lower individual cost. That money goes toward a statistical guarantee that the cost of any disaster will be covered.
How insurance actually works (under capitalism): For-profit companies use every tool at their disposal, regardless of ethics or legality, in order to take as much of your money as they can possibly get away with while simultaneously paying out as little as they can possibly get away with, and then pocket the difference.

The message to Democrats is clear: you must dump neoliberal economics
Democrats: "Understood. We must try harder to win over the center-right."

Why do we put up with this crap?
Airliner ticket prices used to be regulated. So when all airlines had to charge the same price, they had to find other ways to be competitive in order to bring in customers. Deregulation in the 70s brought ticket costs down but that means ticket cost is now the primary point of competition between airlines and amenities now come at a steep premium.
