And that is the rule.

The rule is no consequences.

The alliance...

of those people in power is to protect the rule that people in power don't have consequences.

And it seems to me that the lesson, I mean, we're all taught to emulate and idolize and try to be like billionaires, right?

And the joke is that we will never be like them in that way.

But the one thing that we can take a lesson from is

See how they align with people whose interests are the same as theirs.

The jokes on fucking us.

We've got Dems and Republicans that are perfectly aligned like this and strategizing and working it out and figure out a way to protect each other.

We've got people in different industries doing they are not the enemies they wish that we would believe that they are.

They are protecting each other because their interests are aligned with each other.

But they will make damn sure that we have every block between aligning with people whose interests are aligned with ours precisely because they know how powerful it is to do that.

It's what they've been doing forever.

Speaking of We're Cooked, I would love to talk for a second about the democratic structure.

I would love to...

talk about within this kind of agnostic class that we've just been talking about.

What new information or stories did you learn about this elite class from the fierce resistance to Mandani's mayoral campaign?

That for me was eye-opening in a surprising way, and I'm not used to being surprised by things anymore.

Love Priya Parker.
