I'm barely on this website, you should find me on the Butterfly App. I'm not really there much either, but more than here. bsky.app/profile/nbeaud…
Favored quarter suburbs have plenty of "state capacity" when it comes to things like schools, libraries, police and fire, parks & rec, etc. Not so much health care or transportation.
Yes Carmel for example famously has literally 0 public transportation.
I can't believe we're doing "Breaking Bad and universal health care" yet again. Wait, yes I can, this website has no ideas. Tomorrow let's talk about how Homer Simpson could afford that house and what that says about the middle class. And also, IS Batman a fascist?
Okay but these places have like 60% of adults with college degrees and frequently ban the existence of poor people in their jurisdiction.
Obviously, this is highly unrepresentative of the US. But it’s a reminder that we have social democracy funded through property taxes in affluent suburbs. They have universal social services on a far more egalitarian basis.
I don't know that it *favors* the far right, but as long as we have a bifurcation between text and video (with podcasts somewhere in between) TikTok-type stuff will be kinda low-edu-coded.
Dems were doomed after 2004! Big wheel just keeps on turning.
republicans were gone forever after 08/12, consigned to the dust bin of history etc
More datapoints from Shane on an increasingly clear picture of the disconnect between the Harris campaign and the super pac, which wanted to lean in on economic populism while the campaign was turning to saving democracy from fascism
NEW: My look at how Kamala Harris spent $1.5 billion in 15 weeks. nytimes.com/2024/11/17/us/…
everything is just social media polarization, reasoning backwards from the people who annoy you online
Secret Congress can make some progress on this stuff if they want to ...
While trying to predict Trump policy is tough, between Wright and Doug Burgum, his cabinet (and Council of National Energy) will have two very serious and experienced energy and energy policy types who are into at least carbon capture and geothermal heatmap.news/politics/chris…
I am begging people to come up with a normal way to say that ozempic is good because it helps people lose weight, this does not require grad school language
NEW: Doctors say RFK Jr.’s anti-Ozempic stance perpetuates stigma and misrepresents evidence. @drsanjaygupta joins @mkraju with more. #InsidePolitics
You may not like it but this is peak performance.
The Trump-RFK- Elon picture with McDonalds really has nothing on that time. Bill Clinton went there after a jog with Al Gore and hung out with this lady in a Care Bears shirt smoking a cigarette in 1992.
On the other hand if they're foregrounding cranks of various stripes maybe it won't, hard to know.
GOP recruiting will probably improve a little going forward, the Thiel view of the electorate was pretty discredited in 2018, you can tell an asset manager worth nine figures that they'll have President Vance in 2 years, etc.
The written word will become like cbs cop dramas watched by boomers, except with millennials reading and writing, there’s a lot of us so it will remain viable for decades, but everyone else will forget it even exists
It’s so cool how we’re living through a reverse gutenberg moment and we’re going to live to see the eclipse of the written word
I suppose it's *possible* that having Project 2025 rather than Jared Kushner toss Chris Christie's transition plan in the garbage means the nominees are a less wacky this time around, outside of the things Trump seems to care about the most (immigration, trade, rule of law).
Courties of @JosephPolitano on Bluesky, the effective tariff rate under Trump went from 1% to 3%, it's closer to 2% under Biden. Maybe Trump pushes it to ... 5%?
