Wow!

After over 100 years, the Chicago Bears are planning to leave the state of Illinois and headed to Indiana. https://t.co/Lynz0tmYLQ

The main risk to most American downtowns right now is indifference, not perceptions of crime.

@aaron_renn I’ve never been there but the Dallas Metroplex is booming without a thriving downtown. Uptown Dallas (w/in city limits) is also thriving. Big corps don’t seem to care either. Perhaps this is our future considering hybrid workforce and driverless cars.

@SaladBarFan Plano, Texas is the model going forward. I’ve learned to stopping fighting it and just accept it

[William Middleton 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇬🇷 @Middleton330W]

My big prediction is that with the onset of driverless cars (I predict this will happen sooner rather than later), most of America will morph into a giant version of the Dallas Metroplex. I simply don’t see what will stop this.

Job growth unexpectedly surged in May as the U.S. labor market continued a solid year of expansion, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. https://t.co/Ts7CBr4oJh

Good jobs report

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Of the 172k new jobs, only 47k were in health care and social assistance.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Breaking

Booooom. 172k jobs

Economists had expected 88k

The conservative - liberal fertility divide already shows up in high school!

A quarter of liberal 12th graders don't want kids versus just 3% of conservative 12th graders.

[Nemets @Peter_Nimitz]

This is ~8% turnout. Municipal governments should really just be consolidated & handled by state appointees at this point. Local democracy is dead for everything other than maybe schools.

"The teams are the latest in a spate of companies, people and shops that have left central Dallas, creating an increasingly vacant hole in the middle of an otherwise thriving region that encompasses the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the US."

[William Middleton 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇬🇷 @Middleton330W]

@aaron_renn The trend is also now to build new sports and entertainment districts anchored by a team (see Truist Park outside of Atlanta) in order to capture additional revenue.

Iran has launched another wave of missiles at Bahrain and Kuwait

@aaron_renn Watching a “walk through” video of Carmel, Indiana filmed last year. Genuinely impressed. It’s like a real city. Obviously new but doesn’t seem contrived or fake. I’m surprised at how big it is! I can totally see why you live there.

"The improvement is most evident in places with service-based economies such as Indianapolis, Columbus and Des Moines."

Hell yeah

@FistedFoucault I have way more respect for Marco Rubio, who actually does acknowledge that American is in fact an empire.

Hey, remember when we were told that this war was winding down and that everyone would stop talking about by July?
