it doesn't really seem to be doing a good job if that was its purpose. Many white people react negatively to even being reminded.

doesnt organic sympathy for Russia increase the sensitivity to Russian propaganda as opposed to decreasing it?

okay but nothing is actually especially worse and you can't try to fix anything, except through instantaneous violent overthrow of capitalism

right i think its both that childbirth decisions decrease in potential income and increase in wealth

if people with a higher potential wage are less likely to give it up relative to a fixed utility set (+child-costs), then its because the marginal utility of more net income is high. Which implies lower rather than higher wealth.

Not choosing something because of the monetary opportunity cost is the same as not affording it.

so not as pushback, because i dont have expertise: does that mean people are willing to travel to transit but not from it?

should not per se, but it *is* good to concentrate housing around mass transit, is it not?

the moral and ethical story of the right is that the globalists have subverted the nation and we need a strong leader to purge us of the traitor and the invaders. Every one of their campaign promises can be unified under that lens.

I think I am generally supportive of this story, but have seen recent work contradicting the idea that wages actually matched. see DOI 10.3386/w35624 for example

this is a reinterpretation of what they the quoted means (imo). Their view adds "material" to interests and your view is that by revealed preference clearly they have interests that align with their actions.
