I repeat myself, but every time someone does a "I make $600k and I live paycheck to paycheck" take, we should raise top marginal tax rates by 1%.
Oh, you're in a bidding war for scarce positional goods and bidding higher didn't make you happier? Sounds like income has declining marginal utility...

This is a good post. I think we'd be better off coming up with a better stat to reflect economic insecurity, as paycheck to paycheck is super ambiguous and doesn't necessarily focus policy change in the right direction

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

This was the first death from measles in a decade.
In the United States, people had died from all of these more recently than the last reported measles death:
-Eating too much black liquorice
-Homemade rocket ship crash
-Beach umbrella in strong wind
It's unusual

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

When people lack significant tangible power -- as most of us do now in general, and certainly when it comes to changing the behavior of megalomaniac billionaires -- symbolic stands can be important in sustaining the resolve to continue fighting. Or just in sustaining your own sense of self.

WTF. There's something very wrong with him. With all of them.
After the recent measles-related death of a child, Kennedy minimized the severity of the Texas outbreak.
He said that outbreaks of measles were not unusual, and said that the 18 children hospitalized were for quarantine measures.
A pediatrician said they were admitted bc they couldn't breathe

dear valued customer—
your president has inexplicably decided that you must put your hands on the hot stove. as your region’s leading provider of stove oil, we must inform you that you will bear the cost of the oil required to heat said stove.

I was assured -- ASSURED -- by Donald Trump that it was the foreign companies who paid the tariff, not me, the consumer!

At the same time the largest conservative outlets were screaming about censorship, #Meta was internally clocking them as the biggest producers of hate speech on Facebook.
Simultaneously, one employee notes: "We make special exceptions to our written policies for them."

This post praising Trump’s anti-vax selections is from the owner of the Los Angeles Times…the same owner who rejected the editorial board’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
I’m sure there are many fine journalists working at this paper, but the institution as a whole is tainted and not to be trusted.
