It’s not just that this sleepy pocket’s median age of 30 is 11 years younger than the city’s. According to a recent Chronicle analysis of U.S. Census data, Treasure Island’s 61% share of residents ages 18 to 44 is the highest such clip in all of San Francisco.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

“Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.”
Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

As open enrollment begins, remember that 80% (!) of the ACA subsidies about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024.
Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.
