One thing about a shuttered steel mill (or a steel mill that's now using one small corner to do anything while the vast majority is abandoned) is that it powerfully creates a sense of squatting in your own ruins *even if* in aggregate there's now more steel coming from recycling-based mini-mills.
The story, time and again, is that gains are broad and small and losses are localized and deep.
There are towns in northern England that are generationally traumatized from the shutting of coal mines forty years ago.

i don't know, maybe you have to have lived somewhere with a manufacturing or coal economy that has gone into decline to see it. the impact on the area is *not good*. i do understand that the broader economy gets better, but it also seems to get sharper and more regional

This codifies what had already happened with "Regional Transportation Optimization" - a program initially launched by the post office during the Biden administration.
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

My observation is that there is a lot less ideological diversity here than on TwitterX. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as common ground can really let you drill down to the final points that's harder without shared priors. 1/
X is just as much an enclosed, tiny and echoey silo as Bluesky, it's just that the people on X still seem convinced they're plugged directly into the brain of policymakers and high-powered decision makers like the Matrix chair, and it completely acidifies and collapses their brain
