@wfdltd You know the best part of being anonymous on Twitter is? You can fuck off, educate yourself, then come back with the right opinions and no one will know any better. I suggest you do that

It was always gonna be a fight, still 4 months to go and Collins is popular, Maine's a center/right-wing state. Stupidly premature to declare left-populist strategy not a winning movement, but there's probably a deeper agenda with this loser

[Sandeep Kaushik @skaushik100]

It turns out that running a Sanders-style movement left progressive cosplaying at being a tribune of the aggrieved working class is not actually a good electoral strategy for winning over working class voters. But it does appear to be a great approach to winning over college educated whites!

The reason Graham Platner is narrowly leading over Susan Collins (49-47) in the new NYT poll is that he's killing it with college educated white voters, doing way better than Sara Gideon did against Collins in 2020.

Gideon won white voters with a college degree 55-42, according to the 2020 exit poll (see below); in the NYT poll Platner is winning those voters overwhelmingly, 68-31, a massive 24 point net improvement. Meanwhile he's doing pretty much exactly the same as Gideon did with non-college whites: Gideon lost those voters 58-35, Platner is losing them 59-36.

U.S. Debt now exceeds 100% of GDP for the first time since World War 2 🤯👀

For years, mainstream economists have peddled globalization and especially liberalized markets as the panacea for development. Now with real case studies like China, they're all changing their tune. Reminder that MMT/PK development econs have advocated for any tool in toolbox

BREAKING 🚨: China

Chinese Real Estate Market has fallen to its lowest prices in AT LEAST the last 20 years 📉🏡

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

Because why would Valvoline care, even at higher crack prices, they know they can raise prices to consumers to absorb the shock, and I'd rather avoid logistic headaches of low inventory, it costs them more money to manage redistribution of stocks

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

Demand for refined products due to suppliers buying larger inventories upfront understanding that the prices may fluctuate due to instability. If I was, say, Valvoline, seeing what happened the last 5 months, I'd stock up as fast as I can at current prices.

Rate of change has slowed, from 14% to 2ish%, which seems like a corridor effect of stagnancy. Job and wage growth has stalled b/c Trump's ICE has driven low income people out, once/if they return, it'll trend back up. There is a price floor with existing tech people tho

I have some sympathy of tech workers, for the most part they tend to be liberal and supportive of leftists, but they'll really start getting radicalized when the machine starts nibbling on what they thought was safe from harm

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Even some six-figure salaries are no longer enough in San Francisco. Young tech workers who moved there chasing the Silicon Valley dream say that an affordable future feels increasingly out of reach as a wave of A.I. wealth is set to flood the city. https://t.co/5GN1jQ1GDW

"sheer greed of tenants"

I love it, keep going losers, keep telling us your sociopathic thoughts

[Steven Godofsky @sgodofsk]

What makes my blood boil about rent control and rent stabilization is how many people gleefully support even in spite of how profoundly evil it is on its face. It's such a blatant violation of the landlord's fundamental rights. The sheer greed of the tenants is staggering.

@theurbaneist @_carlbeijer Fucking AI slop, you can't even think for yourself

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

@theurbaneist @_carlbeijer The authors claimed it was an "airport book"!!! The whole point of airport books is mass appeal!! You said that it was for elite persuasion, which the authors themselves contradicts, stop outsourcing your arguments to AI, fucking em dashes

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

@daveweigel It's elder abuse at this point to let him near any microphone

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

@theurbaneist @_carlbeijer Putting that aside, making the assertion that most people that travel through an airport and use the NYT Bestseller list as a reference are "elites" is ridiculous and ignores the history of what those marketing mechanisms are.

[Remote Internal @InternalRemote]

@theurbaneist @_carlbeijer You are seriously confused about what Abundance is, it does not encompass large (mostly good) housing policies. Abundance is the deregulation of regulations in order to make it easier to build infrastructure, but ignores the impacts of deregulation

@vivian39_ You're right, we should have universal rent control, thanks for your input
