This is really it. I try to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it always ends up in the same place, anarchism goes into the "not even wrong" category. It's just... false. It does not describe a stable, self-perpetuating society of any population larger than double digits

I'm wondering about the foreign policy implications in a future restored American government. How should we approach the issue of foreign governments that furthered this blatant corruption

it's like they've forgotten what kind of periodical they are, and the more wretched elite culture has gotten, the more elliptical the nyt has become

the bill of course includes a provision for research agency heads to issue "national security" waivers on a case by case basis. You can see where this is going. (Never mind that the head of e.g. the NIH isn't qualified to weigh in on "national security" exceptions)

a newspaper should not try to be arch and elliptical. that is what the new yorker is for

many are saying!

it's for the best, if he hits that little 2x1 any harder he'll just split it. and an impact driver is way too dangerous for his skill level

never thought i would be nostalgic for the old days of more power arf arf arf masculinity, but he wants an impact driver for.. whatever he's doing here

People were already treating the suffix -man pretty much like -or and it would have better to just keep letting that process play out. take a lesson from the acting world, which elected not to die on the hill that -or is a specifically masculine latinate suffix

the classic economics pundit error is mistaking an accounting identity for a causal relationship. a less classic error is to try to abolish the accounting identity

I like how chomsky was like "what you should know is that i, noam chomsky, author of 85 books about US foreign policy, relied on jeffrey epstein to explain the global financial system to me"

oh yeah the Trib is terrible and a pale shadow of what it once was, but it's where you'd expect all of Chicago's most well known retired news anchors to publish an open letter, and it's newsworthy that they did so

the Chicago Tribune doesn't even bother trying to make its tracker-infested website compliant with GDPR. Instead they just disable access in the EU.

If they just extend the subsidies and do nothing else, then anybody who didn't sign up for a plan because of the price increase still won't have health insurance in 2026. There's no indication that anybody involved even understands this.

Yeah, not knowing the fundamentals about how insurance works was a real problem during the original fight over ACA but it's gotten so much worse. If political reporters can't do that, maybe a good question they're qualified to investigate is "does the health insurance lobby exist anymore?"

People are already enrolling (or not!) based on current prices. The question I want answered in these articles is, can Congress pass a bill requiring a new ad hoc enrollment period once they renew the subsidies, so that people can actually sign up for these plans? Can they do so via reconciliation?
