      One of the youngest members of congress is Kyrsten Sinoma.

      Kyrsten Sinema. And she declined to run for reelection, ceding the primary to Ruben Gallego (slightly younger, at 45) who looked good-ish on paper a couple years ago. But now he’s fallen in with the Crypto-Bros, he’s been seen taking money from the Qatars, and he’s otherwise indistinguishable from any of the other pro-war, corporate-friendly Schumer style liberal Democrats.

      they’re trusted to protect the interests of capital.

      The irony of it all is how we’re immolating our industrial base and flinging trillions into tech sector lucid dreams in a way suggests a very bleak future for actual physical capital in the country.
