As OP points out, this is, on its face, an irrational proposal to any consumer. Most people try to pay off their debts more quickly, not more slowly. Second, if you bought a home at 22, you wouldn't own it until you're 72. At that point, you've paid the bank double to be a life-long renter.

Helen Andrews is a poor thinker, and I wish the NYT (and all news outlets, all podcasts, all of society) would stop inviting poor thinkers to tell us about what they think.

One more grant proposal left. Then one midterm (?), then glorious, glorious sleep!

In a just world, I’d be able to go to sleep right now. As it stands, I have 6 mock grant proposals to grade before EOD.

Three weeks ago, he was virtually pooping on us, and now it's all love. This man knows he's cooked.

I need a blue wave to come through tonight because I’m down to my very last bit of nerve and I could use a sigh of relief.

I pray that Mamdani wins, but I feel like the late Trump endorsement, and everyone spreading it around could add an element of surprise here. Are former Cuomo voters going to switch to Mamdani? Will Silwa's support go to Cuomo now? Who will win the election? Tune in tomorrow to find out....

Blaming systemic/institutionalized poverty on sweets is crazy work. B*tch, I had a hard day working from 8 to 8 and I want a Snicker bar to calm me down. Meanwhile the price of Aldi chocolate bars has increased from 1.49 to 2.29 in two years time. Fix that!
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Another potential scandal, "Mamdani tells campaign manager he is right around the corner when Find my Friends app shows he hasn't left his apartment."
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

If the Dems have any money to spend, they should be running "Are you better off this year than last year" ads from November to the midterms.

Analyses like these also miss part of the point of parties, which is to shape the popular consensus around certain issues. Providing (free) healthcare to undocumented immigrants might not be immediately palatable, but it's a good policy that actually saves most countries money in the long term.
Incredible to claim that “abolish the police” is in any way a Democratic policy

Also, not for nothing, but for an image that is, as the AP put it, "a widely recognized as a Nazi symbol," I would have seen that tattoo and not thought a thing of it. But I'm not out here studying up on Nazi symbols either, so why would I have known? 🤷♀️

My final thoughts about this Maine race and how everyone could save face: 1) Platner has to drop out of the race. His candidacy is too tainted and the Pod bros defense is just pushing people further away. He needs to stage a press conference where he expresses remorse for his actions, and (1/4)

I just hope that all the lefty Mainers pick an equilibrium and stick to it. Splitting the vote only ensures you get more of the same.

Not gonna lie, I find this whole thread to be fascinating b/c both people are right and politics/partisanship is coloring the interpretation of the facts. In aggregate, white people comprise the largest percent of SNAP users, but relative to their population share BIPOC use SNAP to a greater degree.
The top line… “37 percent of SNAP users are white”
So African Americans, who overwhelmingly vote Democrat, are roughly twice as likely to use SNAP vs whites?

9 times out of 10, I don't mind being single. I might even prefer it. The only time I reconsider is when I've cooked and I have to clean up afterwards, and when there's yard work to do. Guess what two things I did today?

I think that poop video is the perfect cudgel for the Democrats. Not because it's asinine and offensive, but rather because it encapsulates the entirety of the Trump presidency thus far: a shitty president (wanna be king) who is using his authority to make Americans' lives shit.

I'm just mad that the mask is not covering his nose in the video. Seems like it's a commentary on how the whole MAGA crowd operates.

Black women are the most loyal constituents of the Democratic Party and vote for it at higher rates than any other demographic. Which one of these groups do you think they believe we fit into?
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
