Jack Wellborn @jackwellborn.com · 27/08/2026Cutting programs, services, and safety nets to pay for tax cuts basically replaces a progressive dollar tax with a maximally regressive time tax.

Jack Wellborn @jackwellborn.com · 04/08/2026I don't have data, but I strongly suspect areas where rising costs have vastly outstripped wages have created donut holes where aid remains only available to the low income households even while working and even middle class increasingly struggle to afford things like housing and higher ed. 101

Jack Wellborn @jackwellborn.com · 27/07/2026There was some part of the zeitgeist that definitely equated anime and pornography. While most of this undoubtedly stemmed from American xenophobia, I feel like at least some early U.S. based marketing of anime didn't help as I vaguely remember sizzle reels that really embraced "ADULT animation". 110
