A TRILLION HERE AND A TRILLION THERE AND PRETTY SOON YOU’RE TALKING REAL TROUBLE: Joe Biden’s Reckless Deficit Spending Could Mean Economic Disaster. “This week’s latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report reminds us that the Biden Administration seems to have drunk the MMT Kool-Aid. According to the CBO, the US budget deficit for the current fiscal year will amount to a staggering $3 trillion or around 13 ½ percent of GDP. That in turn will drive the US public debt to GDP ratio to over 100 percent or to a level similar to that prevailing in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.”

The difference between now and then is that in 1945 World War II had ended but today’s Democrats are just getting warmed up.

BLUE ON BLUE: Radical Environmentalists Take On DC Commuters, Biden.

“If they don’t want to do what we ask, or do what we’re demanding, the next step is to rebel,” said Kevin Cramer Jr. of the Palm Collective, a radical black and queer liberation group. “I’m giving us a minimum of probably 10 years—10 years until we start seeing the severity of like, damn, everyone, we can’t take baths, bitch, here is a bucket of water. The crisis is that high.”

Cramer said Biden has “lied” to his party’s left flank about promises to combat climate change through the Green New Deal, open borders to immigrants, and reform law enforcement.

“He’s done a horrible job. He’s lied, suggestively lied—like saying he’s going to grant citizenship, saying we’re going to have a Green New Deal,” he said. “He hasn’t even addressed police brutality, and he’s been in office for months.”

The most radical first-year agenda in American history and it still isn’t enough for the Left’s radicals.

PROGRESS: SpaceX Almost Ready to Move Super Heavy Booster to the Launch Pad.’

The 215-foot rocket dubbed Booster 3 recently reached full height, with construction taking a mere six weeks, according to Teslarati.

SpaceX is getting ever closer to its first orbital Starship launch — and the Super Heavy booster is just as much part of that plan as the spacecraft itself. If recent progress is anything to go by, the first Starship could be entering orbit before the end of the year.

Booster 3, however, isn’t destined to fly to orbit. In a Wednesday tweet, Musk noted that “Booster 3 will be used for ground tests. We’re changing much of design from 3 to 4.”

Build, test, learn, iterate… and quickly.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: California Is Dumb Enough to Keep Gavin Newsom Around. “It would be great if California could get rid of the tyrant Newsom but that wouldn’t guarantee an improvement. As I wrote in March, California has a neverending parade of horrible Democrats. You get rid of one, another who is almost always worse shows up as a replacement. The leftist rot is complete there.”

LESS THAN PRIME: 2 delivery companies in Oregon reportedly stopped working for Amazon, their only client, alleging ‘intolerable’ conduct and unsafe working conditions.

The companies sent a letter to Amazon accusing the e-commerce giant of “intolerable, unconscionable, unsafe, and most importantly, unlawful” conduct in the past two years, according to Vice. Together, the delivery companies employ roughly 150 drivers and make more than 20,000 Amazon deliveries in the Portland area on average every day, The Oregonian reports.

The companies said Amazon nixed delivery routes and changed rules without notifying them, according to Vice. The letter, obtained by Vice says that, because drivers commit to routes ahead of time, Last Mile and Triton are still on the hook for wages even if Amazon cuts routes at the last minute due to low inventory or warehouse staffing.

In the letter, the companies also accused Amazon of accessing drivers’ personal information, reducing reimbursements, firing drivers without giving the companies a say in the matter, and allocating deliveries unevenly among workers. Because deliveries weren’t evenly divided, some workers ended up needing to drive faster, potentially endangering other drivers or pedestrians, and work 12-hour shifts, even though Amazon only reimburses them for 10-hour shifts, according to Vice.

More to come, I’m sure.

STACEY LENNOX: Atlanta’s ‘Marxist Land Grab’ Is a Preview of Joe Biden’s Nefarious Plans for the Suburbs. “ Investment firms really can’t lose. If the Biden administration is successful, or if cities like Atlanta voluntarily adopt these rules, as Minneapolis and the entire state of Oregon already have, it is a win. Investment firms can carve up single-family properties and add additional units of varying sizes and shapes to them. Depending on local rules, the new housing will be sold or rented. In cases where an entire development is purchased, as it was outside Houston, investment firms can knock them down, build high-density apartment buildings, and create an endless income stream. If the Biden plan fails, they still have long-term investment rental properties.”
