American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

like fundamentally Senate Brain is thinking that you will be saved by delaying the cave deal vote 2 days after a democratic tsunami
there was a screenshot that i'm trying to find from today that essentially had Senate Democrats going "yeah we won the election so we waited a couple of days to concede"
Senate Democrats think this is the appropriate response because they begin every conflict with the assumption they will lose, and then ask “How can we end this as quickly as possible while creating the appearance of having tried to win so the base isn’t mad?”

tho we are considering moving to detroit, minneapolis, or milwaukee
The vast majority of American households own a house. Young people are buying houses at the same rate as previous generations. The houses are also bigger and they can fill them with a lot more stuff.
Brother, is this a bit or are you actually yelling that people who will never afford a house are better with 10 pairs of Crocs?

I don’t think many folks are aware of how bad it is for most Feds out there. Even for the most comfortable of us who have cushion it’s getting thin
I know everyone thinks all feds are like GS-15s in NoVa with a consultant spouse pulling down six figures, but in reality land shit is starting to Get Bad even for those of us with decent financial resources

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
