I'm laughing. Laughing at the #billionnaire who asks, without the slightest hint of self awareness, whether it's time for a new #us political party to represent "the 80%". Who is going to head it up? You? Some "representation" that would be. And I laugh at the bobbleheads nodding along with this bullshit as if they actually expect the South African knut to be on their side.

The New #Globalism - The Atlantic

The printscreen below sums up pretty well what #Trump 's institutional #coupdetat is about: peddling the #USA back to 19th century wild #capitalism mostly benefitting a small #oligarchy of #billionnaire pals, at the expenses of #democracy and the 99%. At the same time, he's launching his country (personal territory?) headfirst in a #globalnationalism and #neoliberalism war with #China, trumpling the rest of the world on his way.

#Medium – the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter – now has a #Mastodon server.

It might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (https://write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (https://writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the folks who bequeathed you Twitter.

Minimalist, federated, self-hosted blogging platform.

Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX:

- had no knowledge of computer programming at all, not knowing how to write a single line of code.
- considered books as a waste of time and did not open one since high school.
- had no bookkeeping skill (and managed a multibillions exchange in a 20 lines excell sheet)
- had been under mind-altering antidepressant for the last 10 years.
- had to line up really stupid actions to lose his money
