If it walks like a Canuck and talks like a Canuck, it must be a Canuck.
I have one simple rule for social media: if you just want to insult me, I block you.

Everything she just wrote is wrong.
TL;DR: the *actual* poverty line in the US for a family of four with two young children is about $140,000, and there isn't much improvement in quality of life between $40K and $100K.
There's more good stuff in there too, you should read the whole thing.

Amazing isn't the word I would use to describe this. Saying the poverty line for a family of 4 is (conservatively) about $140K US is absolutely ridiculous. Some really weird math going on here.
Mike Green is writing some amazing stuff at the moment. It's not in the delta, it's in the level and the cost structure. Read this and you will understand Angrynomics on a new level: www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

Doesn't think that the nazi hellsite is so bad, really.
It is mistaken to make inferences from social media to what Americans think in general.
I don’t think that being on X is a particular problem for journalists.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

"environmentalism is basically bad"
Where the fuck do you think you live? You really want to give up breathable air and drinkable water for more money? This is dumb even for you.

If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

I don't think she's actually read "The Hobbit" because Hobbits are not usually this bloodthirsty.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

From his gilded golf club, President Trump kept food off the tables of millions of children and families. The American people will not forget.

Not even a big Parks & Rec fan but this is just the dumbest analysis I've ever heard.
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill

I think Americans might slowly be getting the hang of this voting thing. Hopefully they keep learning and don't eff up again like they did last year.

SNAP is a terrible program. Just give poor people money rather than have this complex sadistic system of rules around what they can and can't eat.
"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.
