Deep dives
Trump questions Nikki Haley's citizenship
Trump has questioned Nikki Haley's citizenship, suggesting that because she was born to parents who were not yet citizens, she may not be a 100% citizen. This statement has sparked controversy and criticism, as it is a divisive and unproductive attack on Haley's citizenship status.
Presidential immunity debate
President Biden is defending his idea of presidential immunity, arguing that the president should not be held legally liable for any illegal actions related to their job. This argument has generated discussion about the extent of presidential immunity and raises questions about accountability and the rule of law.
Taxing corporations that paid zero federal taxes
President Biden is advocating for taxing the 55 largest corporations that paid zero federal income taxes in 2020. While this may seem fair on the surface, it is important to consider the complexities of corporate taxation and the reasons behind corporations not paying taxes, such as investment in growth and job creation.
The design flaw of government spending
There is a fundamental flaw in the design of government spending, as it tends to prioritize wasteful expenditures and lacks an effective mechanism for reducing expenses. This issue, coupled with the complexity of the budgeting process, results in unsustainable levels of national debt and a failure to responsibly allocate resources.
DEI and Corporate America
A survey shows that 57% of 322 US executives are expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in their companies, indicating the popularity and growth of DEI initiatives in corporate America.
Shift in Public Discourse
There has been a noticeable shift in public discourse, with people feeling more comfortable openly discussing topics that were previously considered taboo. This includes discussions about DEI, COVID-19, election validity, Trump, Biden, and conspiracy theories. The decreased fear of repercussions and the rise of free speech platforms like Locals have contributed to this shift.
