Hey Sam, any comments on how the ‘tyranophobia’ of liberals is the main thing we should still be worried about?

The Trump economic program seems to be to both do Javier Mileiism (completely cutting off all government spending through executive fiat) *and* Peronist import substitution

The Boston suburbs have some of the most egregious exclusionary zoning in the country, with 1-acre minimum lot sizes, requirements that new apartment buildings only serve seniors (to keep poorer kids out of local schools), and outright apartment bans. Reform that and housing gets cheaper.

Something that has become very clear to me from working on housing and urban policy more generally is that a lot of people — including a lot of professional advocates — think that there's a way to do policymaking without any tradeoffs, and the existence of tradeoffs means you did something wrong.

They’ll probably get away with ending birthright citizenship as long as they don’t make it retroactive. “Well, *my* kids will be citizens because I am, and it was different when *my* mom came over here anyway” will be a common reaction

one of the problems with prioritizing a cool aesthetic in politics is that hope is never cooler than despair — by nature, being emotionally disaffected and distant is the foundation of “cool”. Works great if you’re, like, Miles Davis, less so for, say, organizing.

The FTA just released October US transit ridership data, so I want to highlight the results of 3 big recent transit expansions First is the Bay Area's Caltrain, where ridership is up 78% year-on-year in the wake of the line's recent electrification!

a graph of Caltrain ridership, which hovers at about 17M annualized before collapsing during COVID then spiking during recent electrification

Insurance companies are sin eaters for hospitals. They let hospitals maintain the image that they're righteous non profits and should also be allowed to charge whatever they like.

sort of seems like someone so afraid of their own perceived cultural elitism that they thought some random lit PhD with a maybe silly thesis was a safe target for creating distance but then discovered the other side of the aisle was pretty nasty

if i allow that the manosphere ghouls are right about olfactory racism professor can I get just ONE soft MAGA to admit the libtard norm moms are obviously right about Pete Hegseth? He's a grotesque drunken narcissist who acts out his genocidal fantasies by ritually abusing women

[blocked tweet]

Because I do loathe the olfactory racism lady. So, so much. But I hate rape and genocide more, and I believe that should be a universal value

to be maximally uncharitable for a second, I think that the reason a lot of people are very emotionally attached to this thesis is because they've built their identity and brand around being Bold Critics, and are very attached to the idea that the critiques they're leveling are consequential
