    Presidential Girl Math

    Substack The U.S. is in a domeward spiral. This week, we break down the “big, beautiful” budget bill that promises space missile shields, tax-breaks on tanning beds, and fewer people with health insurance — all while pretending math is optional. Welcome to the girl math-ification of the U.S. budget. We discuss how student loan policy is being used to engineer political realignment (aka dumb people vote for Trump), how even Elon thinks deficits aren't a vibe and how the mediocre Twitter white boys think Beethoven and the invention of lasagna makes them all superior. We also ruminate on the…

    Insecurities and Exchange Commission

    Unfortunately, we're once again discussing tariffs, China and young men -- I'm sure you believe us when we tell you it's exhausting. Trump's "Liberation Day" was a disaster as expected -- but his base can excuse a $2 trillion dollar loss as patriotic. When the rational for any illogical Trump action is that he has to "burn it all down," it becomes impossible to talk to these people. It's become the Salem Witch Trial of anyone with an IQ higher than a cocker spaniel. A college degree only "means nothing" to someone who could never get one. This week we're over it all.

Billionaires used to build beautiful things and now they build the right wing town square (Twitter). The right is monopolizing thought through the current billionare agenda of social media domination - channeling the angry energy of young men who can't get laid into MAGA momentum. Wait till they find out Project 2025 wants to make porn illegal... READ CHRIS'S SUBSTACK POST

    America Incorporated

    In this episode we turn away from our pro-China roots and dive into why government exists — to protect us, serve us, and stop us from devolving into an Elon Musk free-for-all where tax cuts for billionaires supposedly help the working class. We discuss the short sightedness of the MAGA Republican party, the death of the DEI Deep State and why babies should get AIDs because they were born in the wrong continent. Welcome to capitalism for idiots, America Incorporated.

    Billionaires vs. Bigots

    Divide and Prejudice: This week we discuss the H1-B twitter debate that's dividing rich MAGA vs. xenophobic MAGA. We break down the function of H1-B Visas and why we don't like them either. Also, on the topic of capitalist hellscape we get into the Rights' Twitter worship of Japanese culture (Will we talk about East Asia in every episode? Probably). As an aside, WE ORDERED NEW MICS FOR THE NEXT EPISODE -- CONGRATS TO YOUR EARS!!!
