TL;DW: It was a complete catastrophe which unsurprisingly lead to its abrupt shut down. The promise for the hotel was a two day event of “interactive storytelling” and escape-room-esque activities in a luxury environment; instead, the interactivity never seemed to work, the activities were boring even to children (when they were functional), and a tiny room with bunk beds certainly didn’t justify the $6,000+ price tag.
The dunk here is not on MMT, it’s that the head of Biden’s council of economic advisors opposes MMT but can’t even try to muster a reason why. The woman interviewing him in the video is Stephanie Kelton, author of the Deficit Myth and the main proponent of MMT. She describes (as shouldn’t be shocking based on the name of her book) that deficit spending is actually a necessary good to keep the economy functioning, and in that way fits within the left as a counterpoint to criticism of progressive policies like universal healthcare or free college or reparations etc. as “unaffordable.”
But your instinct is right, MMT isn’t necessarily collaborative with leftist ideas since it isn’t concerned with class or redistributive policies. It’s basically just a way to explain why we can print so much money and see barely any inflation despite classical economics constantly warning about that exact scenario.
Since no one else will, here it is to ruin the fun:
Lol was this before or after he crushed the rail workers strike? Pretty funny that the most “left” thing you can attribute to Biden is performative bullshit while he has actively worked on behalf of capital to limit workers’ actions. What level of “left” does that make him?
Biden has been president for 4 years. Can you give me exactly one (1) thing that he’s done for the left in that time period?
love to see this
I thought it was like a meme but it’s literally a still from the interview. That’s the CTO of OpenAI saying she’s not sure what data was used to train the models lmao.

If the democratic party was at all interested in the opinion of the general public (which includes you and me), they would at least run some primaries and go through the motions of a western liberal democracy. Instead, they’ve decided to rerun 2020 on the hope that the bold message of “He’s not Trump” will work again.
The election is in eleven months - if Biden loses the fault lands squarely on the democrats for covering their ears and saying “lalalala” any time someone suggests maybe actually doing something resembling democracy. Or hey you can continue to pre-blame the left for an election that hasn’t happened yet and accuse us of actually being conservatives, certainly that will convince us to line up behind Genocide Joe.
Beautiful 
Not me furiously searching “Henry kissinger assad” so I can post that the Lion of Damascus has done it agian
Trump winning (because progressives refuse to vote)
Gotta love how liberals portray progressives as simultaneously a large enough voting bloc to sway entire elections, but not large enough to ever enact a single progressive policy even when it’s a campaign promise.
Excellent work of course, and you’re right I groaned in real life. Learning that counting the elements in the individual pictures was pointless and that there’s an unused sixth picture is pretty infuriating. Good luck in the contest!
Thank you, that one was killing me. I had ordered them by release date but spent a ton of time puzzling over the significance of the shaded in squares lol.
A little - the last couple of times timehop had a puzzle hunt it was just a web page with a set of themed puzzles, this time they’ve incorporated some other apps they’re associated with and host the clues within their platforms. You still don’t need an account or to download an app but it’s definitely attempting to encourage people to use their bullshit.
But to be clear, the puzzles themselves have halloween themed answers, you won’t get “always drink your ovaltine”.
