New publication, out in Political Analysis: There is an increasing array of tools to measure facets of morality in political language. But while they ostensibly measure the same concept, do they actually? I and @fhopp.bsky.social set out to see what happens.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases. Anyone upset about this should consider the following: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Im modernen Sozialstaat sollte sich niemand dafür schämen, Leistungen anzunehmen, die ihm zustehen. Dass es aber doch so ist, ist mE. auch ein Versagen polit. Akteure—und zwar nicht der radikalen Rechten, sondern des Mainstreams—die keine Gelegenheit auslassen, Bürgergeldempfänger zu diskreditieren.
