    The arch of history is long, and we are naturally biased to think of the present as the culmination of history - but it's just a point in time. I do not think "socialism will save us" - but I believe there is a breaking point where society simply will not accept a - as you put it - "more capitalist system".

    Politics and economic systems go hand in hand, any economic system, practiced in extremis will be destabilizing. I posit that theoretically the "more capitalist system" wins over the less capitalist one, up to a point, where winning comes at the cost of killing the host society, and thus itself. This is simply a thought experiment, I am not making any declarations on where the US is on this axis.

  • The best time to have moved the Overton window was decades ago. The second best time is now. It's also relevant to this age, as the current strain of capitalism is showing its ass, and everyone can see it.

  • > For reference the B580 die is nearly the size of the 4070 but sells for a third the price.

    Doesn't this suggest the B580 has worse yields? Die surface area isn't directly proportional to selling price.

  • > I would assume the same goes for some Democratic voters as well

    That's an interesting idea. Care to expound on who some Democratic voters were eager for Kamala to "hurt"?
