@lxeagle17 Because now it feels like this.

In today's Odd Lots newsletter, I wrote about why I'm such an evangelist of Walter Ong Thought. Why I think the Return To Orality is the biggest story of our time. And how we're completely rewiring the logic engine of the human brain.

How come Republicans don't refer to Clarence Thomas as a DEI hire?

Do we have an answer yet why it took 14 hours for @PeteHegseth to make a public appearance about the Black Hawk that took out a civilian plane under his watch?

Was he incapacitated while Sean Duffy was answering questions?

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Blackhawk crashes into a plane over the Potomac? DEI.

Wife left you? DEI.

Your children hate you? DEI.

Gambled away your savings on a Trump crypto coin? DEI.

For the Jews who think the attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion won’t impact them — make no mistake, they will.

It’s not accidental that Holocaust Remembrance Day is included here.

This NYC taxi insurance story is bizarre. A boutique insurer captured 64% of market for livery/taxi drivers by offering rates below acturial cost. That couldn't last and the scheme fell apart last year. Unable to pay claims, it was declared insolvent.

The state proposed a rule that drivers needed insurance from a solvent company, one that could actually pay claims. Drivers panicked as sustainable premiums are much higher than they were paying.

Caving to ratepayers, the state withdrew the proposed rule and now says that the insurer just has to be licensed in the state, which the insolvent company still is. So rather than require drivers to pay market rates from a solvent company, drivers will pay less to the insolvent company that can't pay claims.

Premiums must reflect actuarial costs or the market will eventually fail. But regulators are so sensitive to raising rates that they repeatedly violate this rule.

I hope some people on social media will see this excellent statement and figure out that it’s dumb to treat “call the order illegal” and “point out the order’s awful material effects” as an either/or choice rather than two correct points that mutually reinforce each other

One of the more famous hate crimes in the US is two autoworkers beating a Chinese American to death bc they thought he was Japanese.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

This story is bonkers. A Pennsylvania county charged a man $40 a day for room & board while he was jailed awaiting trial.

He was acquitted.

The govt then sent him a bill for $14,320—despite that he was legally innocent. A great example of how our system sets people up to fail.

[Lee Hepner @LeeHepner]

This is a false equivalency. What you want is for the FTC to continue doing its job, which includes enforcing the law against data brokers for their collection and abuse of browser- and location data. They have won 4 such cases in the past year, including one just yesterday.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Remember that the witnesses to and victims of Hegseth’s misconduct were not anonymous, but offered to meet in person with Republican senators (anything but anonymous) who offered zero meetings, and now call these real people anonymous.
