Apparently you are not familiar with McArdle’s well known biases. Building stories out of whole cloth to demonize progressives is her stock in trade

Jesus, she is just so awful.

Bernie-crats: the dumbshit lane of the progressive movement

Did any of you mouth breathers even read the book? The apartments Klein was referencing were being built with public money and construction was being managed by a housing non-profit.

Agitprop? Do you even know how to properly use that term? Once again, you parse words to fit your agenda, in this case, mine. The choice is not binary but you propose no choice at all.

Thank you for completely missing the point just like Sirota. You apparently believe housing people in buildings with standard filters is not better than having them living on the street.

Almost 10 years on and you are still viewing everything through your Bernie-crat filter, eh David. JFC, you conveniently omit the word “special” so as to make your point. I do not agree with Ezra all the time but the choice between housing with standard HVAC vs living on the street is obvious

I am sure there are a number of these out there on the socials, but thought this was an interesting take. www.threads.net/@robinreed53...

Sweetie, I cut no slack to anyone that is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Maybe a bit of light reading would help you understand how very wrong you are. nymag.com/intelligence...

Outstanding story. Codifies so much of what many have been thinking over the past decade but you articulated it brilliantly!

Let’s see, Tom. You were in your early teens when Carter was President, more likely focused on erections more than elections. All of your context for your opinion arrives after the fact.

The point, Tom, is that you malign Carter and lionize Reagan. You just cannot help yourself. I will go with Gerald Seib's more accurate assessment. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, Gorbachev – 4 different leaders in 6 years, plus the ill-fated entry into Afghanistan, Chernobyl and the post-Brezhnev economic stagnation of the early 1980s. Carter might have been naïve, but he beat the heal out of everything that came next.

Suffering from early stage dementia, eh Tom? Reagan did NOTHING to stop the Soviets. By 1980 they were self-immolating both economically and politically and the Union was on its deathbed of its own accord. Neocons going to neocon, I guess.

It is now clear that the Democratic Party is in the ICU with a DNR on the chart. A party still controlled be geriatric boomers has no capacity to change/evolve.

Being a decent human being does not count. He brought a butter knife to a street brawl and got slaughtered. Every single thing he did as president will be unwound. Effectively, he did nothing except preside over the end of the Republic.

Sorry. No. He made an implicit promise not to run for re-election and, even as it was clear he was cognitively impaired, he ran again and that led directly to Trump/Musk taking power. That alone makes him among the worst. Throw in Garland and the bungled exit from Afghanistan.
