@eigenrobot Took me a sentence to realize this isn’t intended for Baltimore

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@varunram Not remotely true. This is true for maybe a meaningful slice of the top 10% of 22-34 year old women in those metros and barely anyone else.

@paulg True. When I worked in banking it was pretty evident who was pulling the weight. Effort pays on this basis even when the direct impact is small for whatever reason.

@FrankDeScushin I think the problem is having this discussion in the abstract is very tough. They can point to the most benign cases when the on the ground reality is very different. Ultimately I don’t think it’s something that can be stopped.

@JohnDewayne5 @caroljsroth That’s already how property tax works…

@wil_da_beast630 Often it isn't just that some newcomers will live nearby. That is generally quite welcome. The reality is demographic change often realistically manifests as replacement. Chinatown consumes Little Italy which consumed the English neighborhood that was once there.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@wil_da_beast630 I think a lot of people like and admire immigrants whose values and aspirations align with American norms (as traditionally conceived). Nonetheless, it can be disappointing to see one's particular culture and ethnos become marginalized.

@Empty_America The somewhat arbitrary thresholds leave me unsure what to think of this graph.

@tiffany_caban We should be arresting the public officials like you who aid and abet rampant lawlessness as well.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@VDAREJamesK @DailySmelly Ships have hitting bridges for a long time. This is just an especially unlucky hit. There's also probably literally nothing American about that ship.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@ayahelsayed_ @NYPDTransit "Couldn't." No, there are subsidies for the indigent. These people are stealing from the public because they're greedy and selfish.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@AuronMacintyre Eh, I was recently reading annual reports of railroads from the 50s and 60s and can confirm that ships have been crashing into bridges causing serious damage for quite some time.

@tszzl I like to build tall to enjoy the aesthetics. Winning the game early sucks because then its over and all you get is a meh rewards screen. Something, something existentialism.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@wil_da_beast630 Stolen surplus value of labor? Oh, like income taxes? Stolen indigenous land? Like Sweden and the U.K.? Pretty easy to flip that one around.

@swbrindle @the_transit_guy Enjoy your final term

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@melorshe @the_transit_guy Parking at a train station in a suburban area is important. That’s how people take the train instead of driving 25 miles to work. Commuting through a parking garage is a huge hassle for what’s already often an hour to and from Manhattan.

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@the_transit_guy Garage parking is going to make commuting through that train station much less appealing. Redeveloping L&T is good but destroying the station lots is stupid and unnecessary.

@jhfgamble @paulg This is completely wrong. Under perfect competition firms have no pricing power. What they “want” doesn’t matter. They charge per unit their avg cost per unit (inclusive of cost of capital which is why firms generally have accounting profit and net free cash flow).

[Edgar Jackson @Edgar_N_Jackson]

@jhfgamble @paulg Yes and I’m agreeing with you. Just adding that under perfect competition the cost is largely borne by the consumer, but firms are subject to varying degrees of competition in reality.
