“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime” – Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC)
ECP NetHappenings THE PITCHFORKS ARE COMING
DENY DEFEND DEPOSE
THE PITCHFORKS ARE COMING
The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has caused big Medicaid insurer Centene, $CNC, to hold a virtual investor day instead of an in-person event at the New York Stock Exchange.
Sorry all my empathy for your murdered CEO is not allowed in my network.
If you want to see why people are so vicious towards United Healthcare right now, let’s do a thread on some of the most egregious health insurer behaviors
If you think Republicans are going to protect you against greedy corporations, reflect upon how upset they are that a rich CEO was gunned down in Manhattan compared to their total disinterest in your children being gunned down in their schools.
Using a gun to shoot someone on the street in the back and kill them is called murder.
Using a cabal to deny or delay medical treatment to kill someone is called health insurance.
Why is that ??
NEW — AFTER THE OUTRAGE
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield issues new policy that will CUT OFF insurance coverage for anesthesia if a surgery lasts longer than expected
GOT CANCELLED.
C’mon Democrats / Biden why can’t this get done!!!
Democrat Rep. Lofgren: DOGE Is Unconstitutional, Illegal — Democrats Should Challenge It In Court
@DebtCrisisOrg Student Debt Crisis Center (SDCC)
Education should not come with a $1.7 trillion price tag.
Student debt cancellation is just one way to work on closing the gender wealth gap.
BIDEN must Pardon everyone who tried to get Trump to pay for his crimes.
How much can Democrats do before they lose power? And how aggressively will they defend our rights and our democracy once Trump takes office in January?
Let’s be honest, the current DOJ has done fuckall to protect our elections.
Fact: Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding any office, yet he is about to be sworn in.
JUST IN: US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s estimated net worth rises to an all-time high of $271,000,000.
Democrats are positioning a clear argument that the rich people running the Executive Branch are only in it for themselves and are out to screw everyone else.
Trump’s enemies list
Biden should treat everyone on Trump’s and Trump cronies’ public
“enemies lists” as preemptive pardon lists. Apparently something like
this is being discussed at the White House. Remember, Ford
preemptively pardoned Nixon before he had been charged or convicted of
any crimes, so this is not a novel approach. -L
Rent remains the single largest factor keeping inflation high, accounting for half the overall increase in inflation as recently as September.
Two billionaires who never served & will never need social Security, Medicare or veterans benefits are advising another billionaire who never served to cut these programs in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
How does that sound to you?
One thing is crystal clear: Elon Musk is the alpha male here, clearly acting as the surrogate president. Donald Trump is number two.
NEW: Federal judges overseeing Jan. 6 cases are watching as defendants grow more defiant, emboldened by Trump’s return.
Their message about the gravity of the is about to become increasingly lonely in Washington.
At least 14 billionaires are set to be part of the Trump team.
His administration will be by far the wealthiest ever assembled.
It will shatter the previous record, held by Trump’s first administration.
Peter Navarro was on Miles Guo’s payroll while Kash Patel was employed by right wing Epoch Times, the treasurer of which, Weidong “Bill” Guan was charged w laundering $67M.
“It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it out by the roots.” — Elon Musk
Musk and Ramaswamy want to cut
– cancer research
– law enforcement
– veterans’ healthcare
– Alzheimer’s research
– low-income kids going to college
– low-income kids learning to read
They want to make America sicker, less safe, less educated — and WEAKER. Actually they want to steal the money.
A Trump-appointed federal judge has resentenced Guy REFFITT — the first J6 defendant to go to trial — to 80 months in prison. Reffitt delivered an expletive-laden tirade to the court but said he wasn’t “in my feelings” as much because Trump won.
LA Times owner plans to add AI-powered ‘bias meter’ on news stories, sparking newsroom backlash
Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org) @froomkin
Soon-Shiong saying “the reader can press a button and get both sides of that exact same story based on that story” is among the scariest and stupidest things I’ve ever heard. There’d be an alternative version of each story written by AI in Trumpese???
Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says a national bitcoin reserve idea is “crazy.” Jesus, Larry Summers comes off in like somebody who hasn’t spent much time thinking about economics or the consequences of his own policy prescriptions.
“Not only could a strategic Bitcoin reserve significantly reduce our national debt; it could also … increase our economic leverage over China and Russia.”
Consumer Action for a Strong Economy (CASE)

“Crypto policy will take center stage during this week’s episode of 60 Minutes as Martha Brennan interviews Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Knowing the longstanding legal dispute between the SEC and Ripple, CASE believes that Chairman Gensler will be tuning into the interview, so the organization is buying time during the show to call on the Chairman to release the Inspector General’s report.” https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/case-calls-on-sec-chairman-gensler-to-release-hinman-ig-report-in-new-ad-to-air-during-60-minutes-302325172.html
2015 Toward a Libertarian Foreign Policy
The Broligarchs want to plunder the defense budget for Palintir, Space, and Drone money. Yet Libertarians are isolationists. Knowing that war creates taxes. Thankfully none of them are going to fight in any war.
RAW MILK BIRD FLU In addition to agricultural workers, the relatively small number of Americans who choose to consume raw, unpasteurized milk are at particular risk of contracting the bird flu. USDA to Require Testing of Milk to Monitor Spread of Bird Flu
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said the move will “put us on a path to quickly controlling and stopping the virus’ spread nationwide.”
HOW MICROSTRATEGY WORKS – WHAT IS HAS DONE AND IS DOING
MICHAEL SAYLOR: I’m on a mission to recapitalize the whole world on a #Bitcoin standard.
Every family, every individual, & every government.
It’s good technology & a good idea
We’re at the fun stage where we get to help a lot of people.
MICROSTRATEGY IS A BITCOIN TREASURY COMPANY
US Treasury says the “primary use case for Bitcoin seems to be a store of value aka digital gold.”
Luke Mikic
Each time Bitcoins decisively broken through a key level, it’s exploded higher shortly after:
11,000% rally in 11 months after the $10 break
1,900% rally in 8 months after the $1,000 break
650% rally in 6 months after the $10,000 break
Bitcoin has raised El Salvador’s credit rating and bond prices, something the IMF hasn’t been able to do In 30 yrs.
MICROSTRATEGY BECOMES THE 1st PUBLIC COMPANY TO OWN OVER 400,000 #BITCOIN
Supply… as if millions of buyers will soon cry out in terror as they experience — Suddenly–
People need to understand @Saylor is allowed to continue these Bitcoin purchases only because there is insatiable demand for these MicroStrategy bonds in the bond market. The bond market is bigger than the stock market. The bond market wants Bitcoin. They can’t get enough. They know Bitcoin is the best investment of this generation. @Saylor is a genius for giving them a vehicle to continuously participate in the Bitcoin run higher.

Why call it a SAT?
Why not a Bitty a “bitcent” the “satoshi” being 1/100th of a bit.
Bits are an existing denomination (1 millionth of a bitcoin), also called μBTC (pronounced -micro-bitcoin), and another existing unit being mBTC (milli-bitcoin)
Bloomberg Terminals are now using Samson Mow’s M notation for #Bitcoin price. The Bloomberg terminal now displays the #Bitcoin price as $0.1 million instead of in thousands.
The fiat monetary system will eventually force everyone to use #Bitcoin.
