@conorjrogers We spent 18 months debating whether to forgive student loans and went to war in a weekend with zero debate.

That tells you everything about what this government takes seriously and what it doesn't.

Saying you’re one of the 535 most powerful people in America because you’re in Congress is one of funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

I'm not someone to romanticize past labor conditions, but in white collar work, there used to be an expectation of at least a mask of respect from your employer. Now it's become fashionable to belittle and dismiss a workforce, and openly treat them as ungrateful pests.

@tonypisculli @billybinion A lot of them just hit a dead end — no leads, no witnesses willing to talk. You can throw a billion dollars at it and still not solve it if nobody says anything.

This is stupid. Spirit puts downward price pressure on every route they fly — the 'Spirit Effect' is well documented. Legacy carriers cut fares when Spirit enters a market. Even if you never fly them, their existence saves you money.

[bumbadum @bumbadum14]

Nobody will admit this but it’s because spirit airlines is the black airline and the entire US Government exists to make sure niggas are comfortable.

We bail niggas out of everything in their lives so why wouldn’t be bail out their airline?

So taxing vacant, expensive property is actually a very good tax, and as much as I loathe Mamdani, this is not a bad idea.

The logic is this: buying large properties and NOT LIVING IN THEM imposes externalities on other citizens:

The first, of course, is that it eats up demand for real estate in the city, and there’s only so much room in Manhattan.

Now, of course, they should just remove rent control and make more sensible building codes, etc., to increase supply, but supply is still always going to be limited, and you want that to go to people who are going to be actually living in the places that they buy.

Second and more importantly, buying up real estate that sits empty imposes a cost on every business in New York and the employees and owners of those businesses because these wealthy owners, who are not in the city, patronizing restaurants, booking taxis, going to shows, etc., are taking up real estate from people who otherwise would.

That imposes a cost on all of those businesses in the form of reduced demand for their products.

Those people are also not paying the city taxes (ie sales taxes) that they would otherwise pay if they were patronizing businesses in the city.

If you’re going to tax properties, it makes far more sense to tax empty properties than full ones.

Extremely funny coming from this DOJ, where it's so well-known that merit is irrelevant to getting jobs that Liberty University's law school sent around a message to students telling them "GPA is not a strong factor" for a DOJ internship because what matters is Trump support.

Based prosecutor

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

Prosecutor won't budge on a felony burglary charge wherein my client allegedly stole strawberry syrup from a grocery store (valued at $2.75). If they go down on it they lose their gun rights, ability to vote, and could serve real jail time. Over $2.75 worth of syrup. Insanity.

@0yOlives @NoahMF Press x to doubt. Being smart is one of the *baselines* to being an "amazing" lawyer in any field.

This is the most boomer coded thing I've ever seen.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.

What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@DrewGarrison @ctys85 Even still his NW has to be low single digit millions at best.

[RawSignal @SignalRaw60526]

@CathrnTheGr8 I really do think that outside of any views a juror has they individually would try to do the right thing. The cop calling Afroman a person in a "position of power" just complete insanity and so tone deaf.

[RawSignal @SignalRaw60526]

@DrewGarrison @ctys85 I don't think he has that much money tbh or makes that much money in general. Living in rural Ohio was probably in part to keep burn rate down

[RawSignal @SignalRaw60526]

@EWess92 10 years for the conduct described seems a bit much IMO.

Have we accomplished a single thing in this war that justifies these kids growing up without their dad?

@_Creation22 It's literally hazing at this point. No other profession makes experienced professionals solve brain teasers to prove they can do a job they've already been doing for a decade.
