Pretty clearly: “Fuck You, We Want The Money”. Data is data, assholes — you fuckfaces didn’t build the internet (and I’m pretty sure you’re already taxing the shit out of any broadband infrastructure, probably under a lame “We’ll build out fiber to the poor… some day… after we take 99% of the money for our slush funds!” banner.
Specific taxes on some data streams over others really pisses me off. So nonsensical.
Morning all — let’s hope no one does anything stupid (yeah… population of 300 million+… statistically, the odds ain’t good) this week, because the leftists sure look to be salivating over calling out the troops to crush their enemies, and I fully expect the IC is ready and waiting to give them the excuse.

“If you are a person of color” was enough for me.
There’s nothing more important to Black folks than learning more about their rich history and embracing the unequalled creativity and genius of their Blackness. It’s only recently that historians have begun to recognize the achievements of Black people: from building the pyramids, to composing classical symphonies, to creating the day to day life fuel of the white supremacist capitalist system– wait, what!?
This writer does realize Wakanda is a fictional place, right?
The ancient Egyptians were black? Lmao ok.
Confusing them with the Nubians looks like, most likely looked a lot like Berbers.
Jewish slaves were black?
Ugh… the first two paragraphs
Maybe this person knows people that shitty, I can’t swear they don’t… but I seriously doubt anyone is making that lame ass joke in 1923, much less in 2023. The subset of humanity that racist and that lacking in actual humor has to be pretty small, and you’d have to add in “willing to out themselves as that stupid in public” these days.
Not to mention it’s highly unlikely someone that racist is hanging out with a black friend in a coffee shop staffed by a black man on the roaster and an Asian on the grinder.
I didn’t realize I was racist (well not that racist anyway) until today, enjoying that first cup.

The false assertion here is that what white women like to drink is actually coffee.
::nonchalantly slides chai latte out of sight::
“But coffee was an important, almost religious, part of Black culture going as far back as the 1400s in Ethiopia. ”
Juan Valdez hardest hit.
Best part
“ So, if both milk and coffee are racist, what can be done? Many people will insist that combining the two drinks actually cancels out the racism, because it represents the white becoming pregnant with Blackness, and creating a delicious Brown result. This is why antiracist folks often take milk in their coffee — a subconscious purifying ritual.”
I like my coffee iced & cold. So what does mixing black coffee with clear ice mean?
Africans originally colonized Antarctica before white scientists enslaved them and shipped them off of it or something, probably.

“white supremacy”
Suck my dick.
“It’s a well-known fact that whites would be eating bland food, like plain bread and gruel, if it weren’t for their theft of culinary secrets from people of color, and especially Black folks.”
This has to be parody.
2 paragraphs was
enoughtoo much. Derp overload on a Sunday morning.“t’s not just that Black folks cannot afford specialty coffee, but the very acceptance of the term “specialty coffee” suggests that some coffee is somehow superior to others, an idea that is rooted in whiteness. Values like “hard work creates better products” is an white supremacist idea that is constantly forced upon people of color and justifies stereotypes like the myth of “laziness” in people of color.”
Taps out.
I dunno. Parody?
I can’t imagine white folk stopping their purchases of coffee is going to be a good thing for the POC folk who sell coffee. Or is that kind of thinking just more racist tricknology?
Well, there it is, the stupidest thing I’ve read all year.

Looking at you Texas…
I would be surprised if it would take anything arcane. RICO and influence peddling should be sufficient.
Definitely would have to do it outside of the DC area, though — the J6 trials made it abundantly clear they’re firmly for two-track legal systems there.

Next time then.
Every time I open a Politico link, my Javascipt blocker results in a blank page, and that’s my reminder to not read Politico.
It’s a blessing. Nothing good comes of reading a long form Politico article.
Turley’s take.
Interesting perspective from Matt Walsh. I can’t discount it — hell, CNN / MSNBC would be all for it just to get their ratings back.

Pud – thanks for the tips last night. I’ll see about that for this next weekend. A little chilly and breezy today.
Between now and then..I may see about using a little stump killer on each of them too. They’re not huge, but they’re also not smaller than one in my yard that died and I cleared out a couple years ago. At least I don’t think it could hurt. A little hole with the electric drill in each of them, a little mix and then some hot water and I can probably hit all of them in an hour.
If you decide to try and kill the stumps, go with Gustave’s suggestion and get some tordon stump killer. You won’t even have to go through all the effort you mentioned. Just apply a small amount on the cambium layer (bark area) on each of the stumps. Tordon comes in a squirt bottle (20 oz?). Just drizzle a little around the bark and it will kill it. The stuff is potent, so try not to get too much in the soil as it can affect the roots of anything else (such as any trees in the area.) You should be able to get Tordon at a hardware store like Ace, or one of the big box home improvement places. It’s only about $25 and one bottle should last a long time as long as it doesn’t freeze. I’ll also recommend wearing some gloves and have a rag handy because the bottle can get a little messy.
“Conservatives In The Mist.”
More like they realize they have to fight on all fronts. How did we get the jurors we wanted in the federal government?
You have to win the right elections and also have your judges ready to go, because the far left is doing the same. You can’t just leave power sitting around for them to beat you with.
I believe that anyone who wants to grasp power should be allowed to – 300,000 volts of it. Oh, that’s not what YOU had in mind? Too bad.

Also, kinda scary they need 2 years of guarantees, they really effed up.
If we had no bailouts, no backstop, we would also have no ESC/DEI. These bailouts fuel stupid lossy behavior.
I’d say it’s a primary reason why SVB got a bailout. Too much Lion towing to let that just fall away.

One clear theme emerged: a deep concern about the broader impact on startups led by people of color.
While Wall Street struggles to contain the banking crisis after the swift demise of SVB — the nation’s 16th largest bank and the biggest to fail since the 2008 financial meltdown — industry experts predict it could become even harder for people of color to secure funding or a financial home supporting their startups.
SVB had opened its doors to such entrepreneurs, offering opportunities to form crucial relationships in the technology and financial communities that had been out of reach within larger financial institutions. But smaller players have fewer means of surviving a collapse, reflecting the perilous journey minority entrepreneurs face while attempting to navigate industries historically rife with racism.
The White Devil will always be with us.
Spare me the bullshit.
The Fed took out SVB because it was a wannabe crypto exchange outside of the most burdensome regs. Much like FTX, it appears to have been a money-laundering op for the Dems. Same with Signature. They all have way too much in common for it to be a coincidence that the Fed took them all out in short succession. I’d love to know what’s on their books.
SVB lobbied hard to not be treated like the big boys, which would have put them under more scrutiny. The woke crap is just a cover.
Bankers hate black people more than making profits, it is known.

Banking expert Aaron Klein, a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, said SVB’s collapse could exacerbate racial disparities.
“That’s going to be more challenging for people who don’t fit the traditional credit box, including minorities,” Klein said. “A financial system that prefers the existing holders of wealth will perpetuate the legacy of past discrimination.”
What if banks were allowed to charge riskier borrowers higher rates? Would that be okay?

A February Crunchbase News analysis determined funding for Black-founded startups slowed by more than 50% last year after they received a record $5.1 billion in venture capital in 2021. Overall venture funding dropped from about $337 billion to roughly $214 billion, while Black founders were hit disproportionately hard, dropping to just $2.3 billion, or 1.1% of the total.
Entrepreneur Amy Hilliard, a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, knows how difficult it is to secure financing. It took three years to secure a loan for her cake manufacturing company, and she had to sell her home to get it started.
Banking is based on relationships and when a bank like SVB goes under, “those relationships go away, too,” said Hilliard, who is African American.
Some conservative critics asserted SVB’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion were to blame, but banking experts say those claims were false. The bank slid into insolvency because its larger customers pulled deposits rather than borrow at higher interest rates and the bank’s balance sheets were overexposed, forcing it to sell bonds at a loss to cover the withdrawals.
“If we’re focused on climate or communities of color or racial equity, that has nothing to do with what happened with Silicon Valley Bank,” said Valerie Red-Horse Mohl, co-founder of Known Holdings, a Black, Indigenous, Asian American-founded investment banking platform focused on the sustainable growth of minority-managed funds.
Red-Horse Mohl — who has raised, structured and managed over $3 billion in capital for tribal nations — said most larger banks are led by white men and majority-white boards, and “even when they do DEI programs, it’s not a really deep sort of shifting of capital.”
“The bank slid into insolvency because its larger customers pulled deposits rather than borrow at higher interest rates”
Huh.
Some days I think Ulysses S Grant must still be in the White House.
The focus on climate and DEI distracted the bank from doing important functions, like risk assessment of their portfolio.
