It is, at our advanced age, a Deep Pull, but an absolute classic.

Some qualities of good software: complete, accurate, fulfills a real user need, has a UX that delights users, and is extensible.

You are leaving the widening economic inequality in our society out of your analysis.

I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum, but...

Have they tried improving people's lives by creating universal benefits? They're actually pretty popular!

This is an insane tax policy and they should've voted no. It favors one segment of lower-wage earners (who get tips) over another (those who do not). Get ready for tips to be a part of your checkout process literally everywhere. The right policy is MFA and a raised minimum wage, a universal benefit.

You can be mad at all of these:

- The information environment
- Macroeconomic trends (wealth inequality)
- A feckless D party that can't figure out what it believes
- NGOs and non-profits that advocate for dumb stuff
- People falling for Trump's con
- Malice and cruelty from some of the electorate

Although posting this made me wonder if it would be viable to use them to create single room occupancies, which are rapidly disappearing.

Conversion of commercial property to residential property is often not economically viable because of the plumbing work (going from large shared bathrooms to individual bathrooms) or ensuring that every unit has windows.

It's just like a having a union! Except that the CEO actually *can* shut it down whenever they like, and indeed they *do* in order to curb the power of labor in the workplace. If actually you want to secure the *right* to work remotely, you need to organize to secure that right.

Which one?

I think it's just tough love.

Given the current levels of wealth inequality, I don't blame them this time, but as you may recall post-9/11, our citizenry was called to exercise our patriotism by going to the mall and buying stuff.

It's horrific politics, and it's inaccurate - there's stuff we do need on those ships in addition to a lot of stuff we do not - but the thing that is concerning is that in all the different climates in which it has been said, Americans never react well to calls for material sacrifice post-WWII.

Sorry, buddy. You are too valuable to the organization for us to let you leave.

My impression is that Bukele is kinda selectively authoritarian. He used to be in a straight up leftist party when he entered politics.

Her best performing ads were the ones that spoke about economic issues. She stopped running them pretty quickly in order to double-down on different issues and trying to run the table on suburban moderates and Republicans.
