We need to raise taxes a lot on everybody to create the world we want and it's harder to do that if you allow everyone to believe their living standards are those of a Dickensian orphan. Affordability slop proposals to, e.g., exempt income from tax should be a five alarm fire for progressives.

Looking at the street view, this is not the type of street I'm normally worried about cycling on. It looks like a slow residential street that's not a thoroughfare to anywhere. About as safe as it can get without dedicated bike lanes which goes to show you how little that means.

I do think that a peculiar affliction of the right (and tbh some liberals) is a kind of original sin mentality regarding prosperity. Past generations had to suffer even if they didn't "deserve it" and now you must bear that burden, because you're no better of a person than they were.

I bike every day, that's how I get to work and drop the lad off at daycare. We wear helmets for these trips and anecdotally I'd wager 98% or more of the cyclists we encounter are wearing helmets. Doesn't seem like "not enough helmet wearing" is a problem requiring a policy solution.

This is why "Private Equity" as a shibboleth for "bad business thing" is unhelpful. PE is one way to organize and fund companies. Some private equity owned businesses suck more ass, some less. Same with sole proprietorships, "family owned," public corps, partnerships, VC-funded etc. etc.

Not sure what to make of today's Sounders matchup. Chivas are already elim'd so perhaps they'll play the B squad. Even we in our current state can manage that. But we're also basically eliminated barring a lot of luck. And when the boys play unmotivated...well we've seen what that looks like.

If you want one reason that men are reading less and buying fewer books these days, consider this

Line graphs showing minutes per day spent on child care on the Y-axis and fathers age (left graph) or mother's age (right graph) on the X-axis, with line plots of generational cohorts showing how much time they spend parenting. In summary, millennial fathers spend significantly more time per day on childcare, about 80 minutes during peak child rearing age, than baby boomers or silent gen, and somewhat more than gen x men.

I think one of the big ironies of the present moment is that there literally is a big Fix Everything Now button for Dems, and it's "Purge the earth of Trump and all his works," but instead of saying that they've diverted into a bunch of food and labor economy issues they can't actually solve

It's frustrating framing from Talarico because it is ultimately a reactionary paradigm that imagines a completely fake past where these things were cheaper. Childcare was not "cheaper" in the past, they just forbade women from working externally so they did childcare without wages.

Contrary to what you might think, even most Republicans don't ascribe to the "14 words" because they don't see their own white children as people. They believe in a future for nobody because other people don't exist to them. Politics makes more sense when you realize this.

If you want a meticulously period-accurate epic featuring white people playing white people you can just watch The Northman (2022). It's not as good as The VVitch or The Lighthouse but it's entertaining. I kind of want to watch it again. But there is not a shortage of historical epics out there.
