!["Though contemporary Americans hailed [Washington's farewell address], the Democratic-Republican reaction was venomous and unwittingly underscored its urgent plea for unity. One paper denounced Washington's words as "the loathings of a sick mind." Soneone dredged up the old wives tale that Washington had conspired w the british during the revolution. Thomas Paine expressed hope that Washington would die and said "the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an apostate or an impostor, whether you have abandoned good principles or whether you ever had any"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7h5okj6yhcq6twydcu7trhv2/bafkreibrhstpn2cgblfqzsory4sgx5dybahmewtf22e6ga5qrqdxcqsequ@jpeg)
![[after founding the New York Post]...Hamilton hoped the it would chart a path for other newspapers [from his party] and breathe life into the party. After Jefferson's election, Hamilton's founding editor sent the new president a bombastic epistle, accusing him of "pulling down the old temple of morality and religion and erecting in its place "a foul and filthy temple consecrated to atheism and lewdness." The NY Post made no bones about soliciting the backing of local merchants, announcing it would write about whatever relates to the 'large and respectable group" of fellow citizens](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7h5okj6yhcq6twydcu7trhv2/bafkreifagkib6l22devntzt4eht46dcalvb2blkl5lbh4gegtkdjvtmhju@jpeg)

The Economist normally does not byline articles, but an author with an ideological axe to grind (and a history of playing fast/loose w data) has claimed responsibility for this article, in the interest of seeding benign 'concern' about unremarkable data.

I wrote a Letter to the Editor in response. While there are many human rights/justice reasons to find issue with this article, it has another sin: misreading data central to the author's claim. I tried to reply in neutral language, challenging the articles central thesis. Publish it, @economist.com

Bless This Mess with @lakebell.bsky.social and Dax Shepard. (Co created by Lake and New Girl Showrunner Liz Meriwether)
Writing’s great, good character development, hilarious ensemble cast (Lennon Parham, Pam Grier, Koechner). A great rewatch on Hulu. I think I’ll put it on right now, actually
