Tim Wu talks about the currents in our present politics in a historical context that is worth checking out.

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us
Dear Sen/Rep:
Please begin a completely overhaul of the laws governing corporate behavior. I watch companies like NVIDA and Tesla/SpaceX and I am appalled at how they take advantage of corporate loopholes.
In 2025 Tesla, for example, sold $131 million worth of cyber trucks to SpaceX and $506 million in batteries to SpaceX and xAI. All these companies are owned and controlled by the same person, yet these "transactions" show up on the balance sheets as profits, driving up shareholder value without actually doing anything.
NVIDIA likewise engages in a circular financial scheme that has been likened to a Ponzi scheme. NVIDIA is booking payments as investments, then having that same money come back as revenue, which drives up their share price. $1 of money moved in this way translates to a $30 increase in NVIDIA’s market cap, allowing NVIDIA to issue more shares and repay the current investment.
Until Reagan changed the rules in the 1980s, all of this was considered stock manipulation and outlawed.
Please roll back every change in corporate finance law since the 1980s that allows these manipulations to happen.
I want an economy that works for all Americans, not just the super wealthy.

The Great Tariff Loophole: How a Policy Meant to Help Working Americans Ended Up in Corporate Hands
How Trump's Illegal Trade Duties Transformed Into a Multibillion-Dollar Corporate Windfall by Winston Wendell When President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, he promised a new set of tariffs would fix the damage caused by his own 2017 tax cuts. He said regular folks wouldn’t notice the extra charges on imported goods, American manufacturers would see a boom, and those millions in profits that used to flow to the national elite would finally go away. That’s not what […] -

Depressing listen, but helpful in explaining why no political party seems to have any interest in average citizens doing well.
“…billionaires also don't believe in a future. They think it's all falling apart and it looks like it escaped them already and they're preparing for a world in which they live completely separate lives.”

Who lives in a city where extreme heat is a serious threat to everyone who lives there or visit?
In Phoenix we are all finally entering the “heat season” expected every summer. But for a wild fluke in March where the daily temperatures went over 107° and we all had to turn on AC again, the last weeks have been great. Now, 103° for likely 10 days before worse, I wake to the headline article and photo of The Guardian US in Phoenix, long a symbol of a US city who keeps tallies of how many heat-related deaths May to October. A few years ago “only” 300, last year over 500.
NOT at all looking forward to the next 4 months. No rain at this home now at least 4 months and possible 3-4 months more. Not good. Meanwhile the data centers for Ai being built right now and one the the largest new ICE concentration camp warehouses is being readied for thousands, just 15 miles from here. Come to the US! It’ll be fun!
