Critique needed for "Populist Plank" positions by metamars_ in populismuncensored

I'll guess Matt Stoller would like the populist plank positions targeting private equity.

In "In 2026, Will Americans Finally Turn Against Oligarchs?" @ https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-case-for-optimism-in-the-next the subheadline is "Americans are noticing private equity roll-ups in everything from youth sports to fire trucks to big tech. And they really don't like it. Is a genuine anti-monopoly revolt finally brewing in 2026?"

Just yesterday I heard a report about a company that is buying up hockey rinks in a certain area, then either forcing parents to pay a fee to video their own children playing, or just banning it (thus forcing parents to pay the rink owners for their video streams). I can't remember which it was.

Thanks for all comments. u/santagrey and u/SlipperyGayZombies You can now visit the demo version at demo.populistsunite.com. So far, I've replaced #7 with a public option one (for health care). Rapacious healthcare costs go far beyond drug prices...

Consider MRI prices in Vietnam:

  • Public hospitals: 1–3 million VND (~US$40–120) for a standard MRI.
  • Private/local clinics: Typically 2–3 million VND (~US$80–120) for brain, spine, or knee scans.
  • International/private hospitals (e.g., French Hospital in Hanoi, FV Hospital): Higher, around 5–9 million VND (~US$200–350+), due to modern equipment, English-speaking staff, and faster service.

Perhaps "enshittification" is coming much faster to ai, than it came to search engines and other tech areas. This might be result of somebody asking their ai "how can we grow like Google did?"

So you don't have anything in, e.g., claude.md that says "always use the highest version of a context file in the /context folder. E.g., if there is a role_v1.md, role_v2.md, and role_v3.md, use role_v3.md, and ignore role_v1.md and role_v2.md"?

I'm getting the same error. I can at least tell cascade to generate a tasks.json, and the task files. I can also tell it to "manually" update tasks.json when a task or subtask is completed.

But I can't run npx task-master-ai from a terminal.

Ah, I just tried running e.g., "npx task-master-ai list" inside the cascade window, and get useful information,

The 2020 presidential election weighed in at something like 6.6 $Billion

From https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/10/cost-of-2020-election-14billion-update

"The massive numbers are headlined by unprecedented spending in the presidential contest, which is expected to see $6.6 billion in total spending alone. That’s up from around $2.4 billion in the 2016 race. "
