Upzone everything.
I’m honestly kind of surprised to see this take getting so much traction when current fertility rate patterns are going to result in the world looking very, very different 50 years from now. I’m not sure I would call it a crisis but it’s difficult to see the social safety net not straining.

He has an active LinkedIn, looks like private writing gigs but even with connections that’s hard to make work.

Except fewer people as a percentage of all employed are working multiple jobs than they were thirty years ago, the apparent halcyon days (of people who can’t remember thirty years ago). So if that’s the dunk, things are…better? fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12...

Maybe a bit non sequitur but can I just say that politicians actively enjoying sports for the sake of sports is a refreshing positive. Image unrelated.

This alone should win a Pulitzer.

Not disagreeing with your larger point, but want to point out that a big part of why the map makes it look like the UWS went for Cuomo is because Lander had such strong support there. This pulled Mamdani’s first ranked UWS numbers down, but *a lot* of those voters have him on their ballots.

Sure, but when talking about UPMC it’s not “the university”, it’s care provision across Western PA that could be impacted.

I like how this commuter traveling into the city on the first day gets it more than Hochul with a mountain of research and a team of advisors saying that this is exactly what would happen.

Compare with Lindor, who is much more unique a specimen (thus the low sim scores), and you have a bunch of guys who performed - albeit not at a star level - well into their mid-thirties (and some who didn’t).

These are great comps to have if you’re in your 20s. They become horrendous comps in your 30s. None of them outside the steroid era aged well at all. It’s not an age thing, it’s a profile thing, and low-to-mid walks, low average, high power is not a profile that ages well.

Wildly misleading to look at any investment vehicle / approach over a one-year timeline, and you know a lot of people are going to scroll to the infographics and not read or comprehend the date range.

Sure, but that also requires imagining him there in five years, and I think his next deal has a very high probability of getting really ugly. Most of these guys - particularly the ones outside of the steroid era - were cooked by their early thirties.

We know this to be verifiably false at this point, right?

How do I get someone added to a block list? #blocklist

I’m extremely emotionally attached but the profile is kind of scary for more than 2 years. None of his top ten statistical comps were productive past ~32 except McGwire (juice) and (sort of) Tino.

When I play Immaculate Grid I always try to fill the grid with former Mets. Who here scratches your Mets fan trauma itch the best?

(For some reason I thought Izzy finished his career with the Reds. He did not.)
