perennial reminder: if someone positively references the essay "hot allostatic load" as explanatory or justificatory in nearly any context, you can safely assume without any further reading that the person has a long list of credible allegations against them without fail, especially if they're cis.

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know

yeah this nobody who you haven't heard of since he was passed over for the honor of losing vice president to jd vance is the future of the party. give me a break
You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
