labor market too has been on a truly historic run. remember when economists thought that 5% was the floor for unemployment? well, we've had almost 10 straight years of under 5% unemployment (with the exception of 2020-21 pandemic) and wage growth is also doing historic stuff

i'm sorry, are you saying that without billionaires we would still have to deal with all the politicians that come into power on the coat-tails of the billionaire class? huh??

the spanish were extremely critical of luis enrique's tenure as spain manager. but he deserves a ton of credit for putting together the team that just won the european cup and world cup. here's the linup the final game he coached, which spain lost in PKs to morocco in the round of 16 in 2022:
