To writing you must turn your mind. See for yourself, it saves one from work. The farmer's back is bent from labor, the washerman has a crocodile for a neighbor, but the scribe's only threat is the whims of corrupt officials.

journalism is often functionally the institution of paying young people who speak Left and Young fluently to justify the behavior of the establishment, which is neither Left nor Young
Every journalist post: hey guys I know you think that we should have said something about the child trafficker who hung out with our boss and emailed with our coworkers, but you guys are making some real journalistphobic assumptions and forcing us to do emotional labor, please examine your attitude.

Whatever her other faults, Clinton spent her entire political career scheming to find ways to get as close to universal health coverage as possible and took repeated political defeats while trying. Then based on a vague reputation for centrism, people go, "Pfft. Didn't even try."

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Probably on pace to exceed Obama but well below Biden. Or, if you exclude the 1,500 pardons for Jan 6 insurrectionists, historically low.

The groups hardest hit by inflation were the tech billionaires and VCs who made their fortunes on ZIRP and tight labor markets, and the shifts in the digital information environment are directly downstream of these people losing their minds over non-zero inflation rates.
The groups that shifted most towards Trump were not the groups hardest hit by inflation. Worldwide, the thing that seems most consistently linked to extremist, anti-institutional politics is not any set of economic conditions but SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMMERSION IN A DIGITAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

Framing matters even when it's fiscally neutral.
Same reason that UBI advocates don't propose a cap on who receives benefits paired with a slightly less progressive tax structure.

yeah I suppose I did ask for this framing it as as controversial opinion, but in practice this would be like an expansion of the child tax credit (which is functionally a transfer from childless to parents), rather than “barren whore surcharge” line on the W2.
Something I've found is that people respond to this idea very differently depending on if you put any effort into hiding you're doing this. Broadly speaking, childless people are fine paying taxes for public schools and not fine paying a childlessness tax even though they're basically the same thing

We should consider the possibility that those scam texts demanding back-taxes be paid as iTunes gift cards into someone's personal account are real IRS agents, faithfully executing presidential orders.
at some point we are going to discover where the shakedown money Trump is taking for his various "deals" is going and it is not going to be what anyone would understand as being "the United States government"

Eh, Trump isn't trying to end quarterly profit reporting because he thinks that bad economic data can't hurt him.
“Both big picture economic data and people’s lived experiences of the economy are irrelevant to popular sentiment, which can be controlled entirely by media messaging”

Cool. The state and local employees on California Interagency Incident Management Team 7 need to all be immediately removed from their positions, pending investigation and termination from their regular jobs.
Y’all this is absolutely wild. You need to read this article. Coordinated targeting of firefighters on a 10% contained wildfire for immigration enforcement under the pretense of *padding their time cards*.
This is insane.
