  • ERROR: Capitalism has no idea how to deal with this situation.

    Au contraire, it actually does! The same way the last four or five economic crises were handled - massive government bailouts for the affected sector.

    It’ll soften the blow for the common people’s 401ks so they don’t completely revolt, but the c-suite execs will get their big payoff and the asset buyup (datacenters, hardware, etc) in the aftermath will transfer an unimaginable amount of wealth into the hands of yet fewer people and dramatically increase inequality.

    It’s a shitty solution, and one that is not viable long term, but since it has worked so many times in the past, I doubt the government is going to change up their winning strategy. Especially not with the current clown cadre at the helm.












  • You can kind of see this as a general win for anybody who is a fan of using psychedelics for treatment of mental health issues, but it’s important to point out that both of the people mentioned in the headline have ulterior motives for this move.

    Trump wants to get Joe Rogan back on his side after he alienated him with his Iran antics. Joe Rogan is one of the biggest conservative megaphones in the nation and he can’t afford to have him be talking shit about MAGA before the midterms, so he’ll throw him a bone about this one issue that he doesn’t give a fuck about anyway.

    Joe Rogan is doing this to be able to hopefully one day self-administer psychedelics, not get meaningful treatment or aid from a professional to guide him through the process and change himself for the better.

    I’m not sure which of these two are being more selfish at this point.
