Buying your failson an audacious theater career is a better approach than making him take over the family business, that I know for sure. If Fred had done that, America would be a lot better off.

Sadly and somewhat similar, Americans love excessively big homes in the suburbs even though they can’t afford them. We should also make those unsustainable homes even more costly - for example, by stopping subsidies to suburbanization

Abbott having to burn his cash to defend himself is probably a net positive for other races. Same with big GOP donors having to spend to try to save Paxton. That's money they can't use elsewhere.

Greg Abbott burns through war chest in Texas governor’s race
Abbott outspent Hinojosa 6-to-1 from July to late September, but the governor’s narrow polling lead was largely unchanged as he tapped a war chest that once topped $100 million.

Democrats could win majority of governor’s offices for first time in 16 years
As the political prospects for Republicans worsen ahead of November’s midterm elections, the GOP is increasingly playing defense over its yearslong grip on state governments.That’s particularly true for gubernatorial elections, as Democrats could win a majority of governorships for the first time since 2010. Currently, Republicans boast a 26-24 gubernatorial advantage over Democrats.

One thing about Copenhagen is that there's tons of dense housing but you *never* find it fronting a busy road with cars racing past, which describes about 90% of the apartments in the US. They manage to make it feel tucked away, private, cozy. (These are all from Sluseholmen, my dream neighborhood.)
