YIMBY and abundance are good, but need to be combined with billionaire wealth taxes and antitrust. Success is good, monopolist oligarchs are bad.
And even if you don't upgrade all the chips you are still burning a stream of electricity in perpetuity. Dotcom bust at least some of the companies could go lean and limit their cash burn. The AI business model is literally burning cash turning electrons into heat.

Real "We are in the minority so we can do nothing but bend over and take it whatever they want to do, but by-goly, we really put on quite the performance expressing our displeasure!" vibes here...

The sense of entitlement to just rape and plunder the country for everything that you can has gotten out of control. At a certain point there will be more and more Luigis.

Going to cost the airlines a fortune in gas and maintenance as well. Commercial planes are not meant to operate in that way, they are optimized for the standard cruising levels. While annoying for the passengers, this is going to wreak havoc on the airlines.

Going to negatively polarize more and more independents into tolerance as they show just how deranged and out of touch they are.

Just about the shortest period from Black Friday to XMas possible this year. Retailers are already discounting and pretty clearly desperate to sell the "nothing to see here, all is great" line.

But it is the principle, if courts can make him follow the law here where do you ever draw the line? It is up to SCOTUS to step in and make sure that the King's power is respected, otherwise we will live in pure chaos. Hungry kids is a small price to pay.

Could there be 8 moderates that would force the vote and get Dem backing for one of their group? Would Dems support them in that case to get Johnson out? A lot of purple district Reps should be panicked after Tuesday.

He has to call the House back to hold a vote if Senate Dems don't cave. Even odds probably then on if they vote on the funding bill, a MTV, or releasing Epstien files first.

Maybe that actually explains why MTG has dropped the Sasquatch routine and started talking like the most reasonable person in the insane asylum.

As a Seahawks fan I thought after 10 years of increasing futility that the Rules must require that you to run this series of plays. But apparently not!

Prices went down, so must hurry to buy the dip! FOMO is the only fear these markets know. Markets already all off their lows.

It is amazing how the GOP keeps thinking this all must be a political stunt, first through No King's and then through the election. They can't even fathom that Dems might actually care about their policy demands.

I think it is like how people complain about the "DNC" based on what others do now and what the DNC was 8 years ago. She was AWFUL on congestion pricing and got linked to Schumer's crew, and that set a lot of negative opinions, but she's been OK to pretty good otherwise.

My metric is do I think I would have liked seeing this in a '96-98 era Bannana Republic or J. Crew, and if the answer is yes it probably isn't the right one to pick here.

Is there material on 3 different? I had learned enough here to get the shoe grain quiz but the material of 3 looks different enough (smoother, like maybe trying too hard??) I'm thinking it is a trap...

That is why we need the GOP to kill the fillabuster. They've abused it so they need to be the ones to end it. But then Dems can actually start passing bills and doing things.

I would say there is a strong tendency in the American electorate to respond very well to anti-corruption and anti-Robber Barron. Less focus on wonky policy and more on perp walking billionaires on bribery charges. Voters love a good Greek tragedy ending for the powerful.
