@grandbear22.bsky.social
Economist (retired), Golfer (bad - hard game), Music lover (mostly jazz, indie/alt rock, classical). Politically center-left, but I define those terms. 86 47. I'm mostly followed by bots.
Says who? Who can enforce this law? Who will? No one - that's who.

‪The economy is a lived experience gaslighting be damned. Saying prices are falling doesn't change your lived experiences one iota. Inflation rate, unemployment rate are data points for data nerds. Paychecks, grocery bills and utility bills are what people understand.

Power structures, collectively agreed upon, are always temporary, when they cease to be - chuck a bomb!

Worked as a legislative staff as an economist for almost 30 years. Political staff 101, everything you say to a reporter is on the record. Oh you can say it's off the record, but it better be a benign footnote to what you're willing to say publicly.

I love this one. Captures a time and place better than any compilation I've heard. I think it is the mixed media approach that sets it apart.

I think she's the superior candidate and has beaten Allam before (why run again?), Note: Foushee’s victory in 2022 included $433,000 in donations from the AIPAC, which she has since agreed to stop accepting for her 2026 reelection bid.
