DU4 and the use of Twitter

I am pleased with Earl G and Elad's position on posting Twitter links and their sentiment toward Elon.


If you like your Twitter, you can keep your Twitter
DUers are somewhat divided on whether we should continue to allow Twitter embeds in DU posts. However, the Admin position is that the tweets people bring to DU are generally useful and so we have no plans to get rid of the feature at this time. That said, we did make it so that embedded tweets on DU4 still have the old bird logo, because fuck Elon Musk.

What's in the doggy bag?

What would you suggest be done about growing government debt?

A couple of acknowledgements first: the Republicans have added to the debt problem more so than the Democrats. And the right is notorious for trotting out debt concerns to stymie Democratic initiatives.

That's been proven over and over again.

But that mountain of debt exists just the same. What would your strategy be?

US government debt

1953: $0.2 trillion
1963: $0.3 trillion
1973: $0.4 trillion
1983: $1.4 trillion
1993: $4.2 trillion
2003: $6.4 trillion
2013: $16.4 trillion

Now: $32.7 trillion

The US government's debt is now projected to rise by $5.2 billion every day for next decade, with total debt reaching $50 trillion by 2033.
