>Mayor Mamdani Unleashes the Wrath of Khan

Investment professionals who work on Wall Street may be in need of grief counseling—or at least a hug and a strong drink—as they try to cope with the fallout from November’s New York City mayoral election. It is not just that self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will soon occupy the Mayor’s office; it is also that he appointed former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan to his transition team. Khan’s tenure at the FTC was marked by the abandonment of the “consumer welfare standard,” which judges a business's actions by how they affect consumers—which is the way businesses succeed or fail in the free market.

The consumer welfare standard guided antitrust policy from the Reagan years until the Biden presidency. Khan and her allies replaced it with a throwback to the “big is de facto bad” approach to antitrust policy. Khan also promoted what she called “holistic” antitrust which justified government intervention to stop—or at least delay—almost every merger, acquisition, or other business action that would have increased a company's market share, regardless of the impact on consumers.

During Khan's tenure as FTC Chair, the agency filed a record number of challenges to mergers, with a particular focus on the threat of “big tech.” Khan’s war against successful businesses made her a progressive superstar and public enemy number one among free-market conservatives, as well as centrist Democrats and the business community. For example, CNBC commentator and financial advisor Jim Cramer called Khan a “one woman wrecking crew.” Now, Khan will be influencing policy in the financial capital of the world.

Khan, speaking at a Pod Save America event, said that her work in the transition team was focusing on things like taking a full accounting of all of the laws and authorities that the mayor can unilaterally deploy. Reviewing rarely used laws was something Khan did while running the FTC. For instance, under her leadership, the FTC renewed its practice of sending “notices of penalty offenses.” These notices are sent to warn companies that they might be violating antitrust law. Until Khan's appointment, the FTC had not sent any such notices since 1999. During Khan’s tenure, the FTC issued thousands of them.

Khan also revived the Robinson-Patman Act. This New Deal-era law makes it illegal for distributors to offer discounts to large Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

That Talmudic verse is literally about whether or not a girl who was molested as a small child is still considered a virgin on her wedding day. It’s absolutely not an endorsement of child rape.

It's about determining the price of slave fussy, who are you trying to make it sound kosher?

<And similarly, with regard to a female convert, or a captive woman, or a maidservant, who were ransomed with regard to the captive, or who converted with regard to the convert, or who were freed with regard to the maidservant, when she was more than three years and one day old, for all of these, their marriage contract is one hundred dinars and they are not subject to a claim concerning their virginity. When they married, their presumptive status was that of a non-virgin.

>Rav Oshaya raised an objection to the opinion of Rav from the mishna: With regard to an adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old, or a minor boy less than nine years old who engaged in intercourse with an adult woman, or a woman who had her hymen ruptured by wood or any other foreign object, the marriage contract for each of these women is two hundred dinars. This is the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: The marriage contract of a woman whose hymen was ruptured by wood is one hundred dinars. Contrary to Rav’s opinion, the Rabbis distinguish between the halakha in the case of the intercourse of a minor boy and the halakha in the case of a woman whose hymen was ruptured by wood.

Everyone wish Noam a happy birthday.

The famine occurred because Mugabe distributed the land to his own cadre of corrupt officers and friends who didn't know how to run a farm not because they didn't have anyone who couldn't manage them. I mean the whites had Zimbabwean farmhands and assistants who helped them manage the farm that they provided training and skills too.

The Global Nuclear War will not just effect the Imperial Core, but will also severely affect the Semi-Periphery and Periphery as well, with the U$, Britain, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, the Zionist State, and sadly the DPRK, all guaranteed to be heavily Nuked by each other, but the good news is that if you are not in or near a First Strike target (ie. ICBM base, Bomber Base, Ballistic Missile Submarine Base, etc.) or Second Strike target (ie. Major Cities) you will probably be fine, as Nuclear Winter is Pseudo-Scientific Bourgeois Propaganda created by Reagan and Gorbachev in the 1980s and the Fallout is not that dangerous as long as you seal your windows and doors, and its not like this would just happen without warning, as it would be the culmination of a High-Intensity Conventional World War III between the U$ and China, so if you live near any of the obvious targets, you will probably have plenty of time to flee to safer areas (or at least build a makeshift bunker and/or try to hide in your basement), so the death toll could be a lot lower then people think, also Global Nuclear War is not the only Shining Path to Communism, as if the U$ does not go Fascist (ie. Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to permanently suspend Bourgeois Liberal Democracy), their is also the much better Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism, in which a Social Democratic Imperial Core where UBI allows for Income to be divorced from employment after the 4th Industrial Revolution automates most of the workforce combined with the Hyper-Rationalization of the Superstructure through the legalization of all Victimless Crimes like Abortion, Birth Control, Pornography, Sex Work/Prostitution, LGBTQIA+, Drug use, Gun ownership, etc. and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy that accepts Multipolarity, unites with a Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPWs swept away all Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist governments after the 4th Industrial Revolution Automated Global Supply Chains and Reshored them back to the Imperial Core and the Green Energy Revolution shut down all Oil/Gas production worldwide, thus collapsing the economies of all Sweatshop countries and Petrostates, to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Circumcision is something that should be tossed away and forgotten forever. Unless it's actually medically needed which doesn't seem to be the case most of the time.

>>2586509
>>2586512
You can thank John Kellogg for the popularity of Circumcision in the USA. he thought it along with eating Corn Flakes would stop people from Masturbating.

>>2586520
It wasn't just him. Every money grubbing doctor wanting extra cash pushes it while religiously motivated Judeo-Christians actively try to promote it around the world. All of them work together with Muslims to push heavily flawed studies "proving" it reduces disease and actively stop legislation against it by crying about religious discrimination.

All Abrahamics have to go. Only then will this problem stop.

>It wasn't just him. Every money grubbing doctor wanting extra cash pushes it while religiously motivated Judeo-Christians actively try to promote it around the world.

Yeah but John Kellogg was the most influence in making it popular in the USA in the 19th and 20th centuries. And from there it spread.

methadone treatment is realistic praxis for mature adults, not infantile meme moralism from manchildren
<In America's twenty-five-year war against drugs, only one national policy achieved some success. That was the Nixon Administration's program for treating heroin addicts, which was dismantled by the Reagan Administration. In "The Fix: Solving the Nation's Drug Problem" Michael Massing (1992 MacArthur fellow) exposes the political and ideological narrow-mindedness that have made national drug policy a failure, and demonstrates convincingly why we should reinstate the policy that worked.
<Massing shows that drug treatment works by describing the success that street workers have had in reaching out to addicts in Spanish Harlem and placing them in the few treatment programs now available. Further evidence that treatment can reduce the demand for drugs comes from the Nixon years.
<Confronted with a raging heroin epidemic in the early 1970s, President Nixon responded by allocating hundreds of millions of dollars to set up a nationwide network of methadone clinics and other drug-treatment facilities. The program was a striking success, and, if revived today, it could go a long way toward reducing the rate of drug-related crime in the United States.
a fascist updated their RSS feed today and learned the truth about neoliberal austerity scold drug policy. Did you?

Imperialism might be less tangible but it's consequences are not. Also ways to fight it exist. Right now every single Communist, socialist, "leftist", even liberal org should pause all other projects and put full support to an anti war with Venezuela plan.
Second if queer liberation happens in the imperial core, it's not like it changes the material conditions for queer people outside of the imperial core (which far more exist), those queer people face the horrors of imperialism every day and our they less valuable than western lives? I don't think so.

I'm not even talking about ACP, just in general the western left prioritizes queer liberation, which is a valiant cause worth fighting, over imperialism the largest contradiction on the plant and as members of the imperial core we have a unique position in which to fight it.

no offense but the essence of your comment is reformism

many such cases
