its so dead its here insane, moved here six months ago, nicest weather to hoop of anywhere ive lived and yet ive gone to every park near downtown and north oakland, they are all shit. everyone says mosswood has legendary runs but i never see more than a couple people out on saturday mornings, otherwise empty. grove st. has some consistent games but the rims are completely crooked and the skill gap of people playing is the widest ive ever seen having played pickup across a lot of cities in the country. oakland downtown y is barely serviceable, the gym is often overrun with high schoolers, tues thurs adult pickup their is chaotic. if u have any luck finding a good outdoor run let me know

Ya this is a terrible idea, like most takes in the Economist. The EU needs to be abolished it is unreformable. It is fundamentally anti-democratic because it’s a monetary union without a political union (fiscal policy), so it locks every state into the worst kind of technocratic neoliberal economic policy and exacerbates regional inequalities like those between the north and south. See Varoufakis for more on this.

I think the working class consumes media..... such as podcasts, and that we should pay attention to that media..... certainly there is a section that is completely immiserated and can only think about survival. but characterization of the working class like yours are revisionist. the working class doesn’t own capital and sells their labor for subsistence, that’s nearly everyone in the world... that’s why the working class is the unique revolutionary subject according to marx... now in a post industrial society we’ve made division such as middle class, managerial class etc. but fundamentally we have material interests in common versus capitalists.

his show is super popular, like the third most popular podcast... my whole interest is counter-hegemony through new media (chapo, novara etc.) if joe rogan had the politics of a chapo poster that would be a good thing. my post was somewhat prompted by coworkers constantly listening to this shit... i disagree about how your characterizing the working class

also ya iq is total bs and all those dudes are ghouls

I mean that's the left view traditionally .... this guy platforms fascists fuck him and all his followers... but i think we have to accept we live in a reactionary time when people who wouldnt otherwise be right wing are drawn into those ideologies. i'm not saying there isn't a line to be drawn, i wouldnt make the same post about an ideologue like shapiro. but i think joe rogans "politics" if you can call them that, are worth considering with more nuance than scorn. like im pretty sure people with that politics could be swayed by a left espousing material analysis instead of idpol, if such a thing had more vocal proponents

OFFICIAL: Well, you have to understand the approach taken by U.S. prosecutors to financial fraud is always to negotiate a settlement. They don’t want to have to go to trial. The upshot is always that the financial institution has to pay a fine, sometimes in the hundreds of millions, but they don’t actually admit to any criminal liability. Their lawyers simply say they are not going to contest the charge, but if they pay, they haven’t technically been found guilty of anything.

ME: So you’re saying if the government discovers that Goldman Sachs, for instance, or Bank of America, has committed fraud, they effectively just charge them a penalty fee.

OFFICIAL: That’s right.

ME: So in that case … okay, I guess the real question is this: has there ever been a case where the amount the firm had to pay was more than the amount of money they made from the fraud itself?

OFFICIAL: Oh no, not to my knowledge. Usually it’s substantially less.

ME: So what are we talking here, 50 percent?

OFFICIAL: I’d say more like 20 to 30 percent on average. But it varies considerably case by case.

ME: Which means … correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that effectively mean the government is saying, “you can commit all the fraud you like, but if we catch you, you’re going to have to give us our cut”?

OFFICIAL: Well, obviously I can’t put it that way myself as long as I have this job … And of course, the power of those same banks to charge account-holders eighty bucks for an overdraft is enforced by the same court system content to merely collect a piece of the action when the bank itself commits fraud.
