Elon Musk is a narcissistic sociopath. Why help him by being on this platform? Find me at Bluesky. @nickhanauer.

Where should corporate profits go?
@NickHanauer argues that companies are spending $1.5 trillion a year buying back their own stock, a practice that was illegal until 1982, while the share of the economy going to wages keeps shrinking.
@jasonfurman argues that wages are the highest they have ever been in American history, and they are growing fastest for the lowest-paid workers.

And here's a snippet, where Darren offers a movie allusion to the greed-is-good ethic of neoliberalism (Wall Street) because he can't help himself.

Neoliberalism has failed.
What should replace it?
@EricBeinhocker lays out one answer: Market Humanism (developed with our host, @NickHanauer).
Watch the interview on TheSling.org
What would you change about the economy?

If you’re asking, “What does this actually look like in practice?”—this is a good place to start.
Eric & Nick released a free booklet for policymakers: Markets Built for Humans.
It’s a clear, practical entry point into the ideas behind Market Humanism.

How much are you paying for gas? Almost everyone knows; it’s posted on neon signs, everywhere.
Electricity? It’s about the least transparent price in our economy.
We at @mit and @heatmap_news launched the Electricity Price Hub to solve that problem.

I fully support taxing the wealthy. I've been in the fight for progressive taxation for decades. I was a leading advocate for the WA capital gains tax & spent millions of dollars to pass & defend it. I am proud of that work. But I do not support Inslee’s “intangible assets tax”

These are serious times and we need serious solutions. You can’t solve a budget problem with an unserious proposal like this. There are tested and effective progressive taxes available. I support a high earners’ tax and super-profitable corporations should be asked to pay more.
