Love the charts. I wish people were more curious about why people's lived reality doesn't match up with the charts, because nothing is more frustrating to poor people than feeling like they're being gaslit by exasperated Democrats
Everyone has utterly lost the plot about the actual material state of the economy. It's as if the last 4 years did not happen. Denial of the shape of the earth. There's really no other conclusion other than that nothing actually matters anymore. We're through the looking glass into pure vibes.
Just to Start, since this is a member of my discipline either obfuscating the truth or forgetting it: The cost of shelter has risen much faster than the cost of the items used to measure inflation (usually a 'basket of goods')

Thisss. The aggressive in-game tutorial is a cross product of play testing and an acknowledgement that people read less and have less patience for reading than they did back in the day.
The old games did both, they had the manual & the in game stuff. It just didn't have voiceover & the UI tech

What’s so awful and stupid about this is that it applies to every single right-wing “Intellectual.” The whole culture is a snake pit of race science cranks and misogynist perverts. They have not changed their positions meaningfully since the civil war began.
The first assistant Chris Rufo hired in 2021 was a Pepe the frog loving fan of “groyper mom” Michelle Malkin. That guy worked for him for 3+ years before going to work for Russell Vought in the Trump administration last year. So Rufo can miss me with the “I’m shocked by Fuentes’s popularity.”

Truly how conservatism survives just bilking people who hate taxes the most to hand over their money unconditionally to private businesses is infuriating.
There are tons of reasons why the style and ethos are appealing to some, but they don't even try to help their constituents.

I just want to point out that the perjorative "underwater basket weaving" is, at its core, racist, as it refers to the practice of many cultures of submerging reeds or other materials in water to keep them pliable while weaving.

Irony is in 10 years there’ll likely be more jobs teaching traditional crafts to seniors—occupational therapy—than coding jobs or most careers parents urge their kids into. The best advice you can give a kid today is “The job you’re going to have probably doesn’t exist yet so study what you love.”

Thing is, even if basket-weaving courses were the problem (they are not), it still makes zero sense to make it way more expensive for poor students to take them, but leave net prices basically intact for wealthier students to do so.
Zero sense, that is, until you remember Ford hates poor people.

I sincerely hope when the ghouls parachute in to offer cloud computing and AI as solutions that we collectively tell them to pound sand, and maybe legislate them out of their supply while we're at it.
