Monopolies are generally harmful, but societal welfare would rise if Late July was the sole producer of tortilla chips.

It turns out my toddler’s endearing refrain of “papa, papa” is meant for his pacifier not dad.

The public sector workforce is broadly comprised of skilled and caring professionals who create tremendous value in society.

Being a member of ICE is like a white supremacy turducken. You get to be half as competent to get twice the power, all in the service of oppressing black and brown folks.

Every last inch of this house is covered in Christmas decorations. Complete sickos really, but a fun disease spreading whimsy and holiday cheer!

I’m calling it now: CA SB79, which legalizes apartments near mass transit stops, will improve rather than ruin neighborhood character

After exploring Vancouver we trekked it to Denman Island, and stayed at this gorgeous property. Deer were frolicking in the meadow. Felt like I was in a dream. #vacation #canada #denmanisland #photography #canonphotography

My first ever book review is published at @jsepajournal.bsky.social. @ctburks.bsky.social and I reviewed Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor's seminal work, "Race for Profit", and offered key lessons for public administrators pursuing social equity in housing policy: jsepajournal.org/index.php/js...

Brint Milward’s cautionary insights about the hollow state and public service delivery are worth your time.

New Public Service paradigm needs to contend with the reality that broad swaths of U.S. society openly reject the notion of the public good.

Regressive tax hike on everything you buy plus tax cuts weighted toward the wealthy plus increased deficits plus slashing cuts to all public services and the social safety net... this is a very bad combination.

Need more urbanism in children's books and toys. Farm themes are overrepresented. Everything seems to have either a cow or sheep involved.

What makes the subway fear mongering especially stupid is that riding public transit is much safer than driving! Statistically speaking, you are much more likely to get injured or perish in a car than riding transit.

Imagine the fire-breathing racist vitriol if Obama and his unofficial co-president had 19 children with 8 different women, while hawking cars on the White House lawn.

And, frankly, in these last decades there has been little effort to produce a counter narrative that government is good. That government services are high quality. And that government is pretty efficient. Instead Reagan’s point, untrue as it is, is gleefully conceded. And here we are.

The federal-level personnel cuts are devastating to morale and service provision, but ironically, decades of devolution and new federalism will help preserve the bulk of the public sector workforce.

Watched “Mississippi Burning” tonight in honor of Gene Hackman. Holy crap that movie is truth and has incredible relevance right now. If you’re looking for a way to understand why so many people are acting so afraid right now, watch this movie about 1960s Jim Crow.
