I thought this rant was interesting— from a major Wall St desk this week. Autonomous vehicles “is a solution looking for a problem. Let's spend $500B and 10 years to recreate LYFT .. Like, man, you must really hate having a driver in the car to think this is a worthy investment .. Unsustainable.”

The professions viewed most highly were nurses, grade-school teachers, military officers, pharmacists and doctors. TV reporters, members of Congress and lobbyists were viewed most negatively.

Ottawa, ON – The Liberal Party of Canada today launched a new national television and online advertising campaign, focused on the dangerous cuts that Pierre Poilievre would make – and the price Canadians would pay for them. “With Pierre Poilievre’s cuts, you pay the price,” said Sachit Mehra, President of the Liberal Party of Canada....

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Fascinating bit of #urbanism I've never seen before: Dingbat light industrial. Each "unit" consists of two large garages below, with an office unit above. Looked like DOT Radiator was the only renter at the moment, with space for other people who might want to have a great place to have a shop
A building in San Lorenzo California that looks like a residential dingbat, but is actually a light industrial building.

Ontario families need hope and a clear path to homeownership. Under Doug Ford, affordable rentals and homeownership feel like distant dreams. This #NationalHousingDay, my commitment to you is clear: we’ll cut taxes on housing, home heating, and hydro to make owning a home a reality.

I know I'm a broken record, but, again: a key problem of the Harris campaign was way too much focus on winning over conservatives. If conservatives decide to vote D, that's nice, but they'll never be won over. The best strategy is to ignore them. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/u...
In interviews, many Democrats expressed little surprise, saying that the Harris campaign had devoted much of its energy to winning over moderate white voters in wealthier neighborhoods and suburbs, both in Philadelphia and around the nation. In an October memo, her campaign wrote that the “path to win Pennsylvania capitalizes on Trump’s unprecedented weakness in the suburbs.”
