The late DJ John Peel apocryphally once said to a colleague at radio 1 "I don't understand why this record isn't in the charts - everyone I know has bought it". The colleague replied "no John, you know everyone who bought it"

"I don't want growth" is, unfortunately, the political equivalent of being annoyed that an eight year old might one day be fifteen.

it is funny how many leftists, particularly internationally, are waving the Zohran flag while fundamentally misunderstanding why Zohran is as popular as he is (he actually gives a shit about making housing more affordable and combatting crime, not just LARPing as a authoritarian communist)

I feel like a major lesson of Trump is that people like him will act in bad faith or violate the law no matter what, so it's literally not possible to Trump-proof a policy except through robust removal and punishment provisions for people like Trump.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

One of the local Chinese language newspapers today had a feature on the upcoming election. It talked about how population growth doesn't automatically turn into political power unless one votes, and also had charts about voters of Chinese/Taiwanese/Hong Konger ancestry. (translated links in replies)

Newspaper article Headline 90%亞太裔選民打算投票 (90% of AAPI Voters plan to vote)

Below it are bar charts with detailed data on voters of Chinese/Taiwanese/Hong Konger ancestry:
The top left shows that among these voters, 54% are Democrats vs 28% Republican, the lower two bars show that this is further split into 64% of women and 44% of men.
Lower left shows that of these voters 64% voted for Kamala Harris vs 31% for Trump, noting that a lot of people who belong to a third party or no party (the gray bar) vote blue.
This is compared to 65% of all AAPI voters, 79% of Black voters, 64% of Latino voters, and 45% of White voters.
The top right shows that of voters of Chinese/Taiwanese/Hong Konger ancestry who were born in the US, 71% are Democrats vs 19% Republicans.
The lower right has data for those who were born abroad (45% Dem), based on year of immigration.
53% of those who immigrated before 1980
46% of those who immigrated 1980-1995
45% of those who immigrated 1995-2010
38% of those who immigrated after 2010

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

A good investment has to grow faster than inflation If housing costs are growing faster than inflation, they are by definition becoming less affordable over time Ownership housing should be considered a depreciating asset whose benefits are stability and the freedom to renovate, not an investment

No no he’s right. Trump told a moral and ethical story about how we live in this moment: pure negation and rape. Democrats have largely failed to provide their own. This is what Mamdani did, what Warnock did, etc. easier for republicans because Trump swallowed the party whole->it’s a unitary message

So many problems, in so many states, are downstream of our unwillingness to tax real estate at its market value, and more generally of our unwillingness to acknowledge that housing wealth is, in fact, wealth.
