@mattyglesias YieldStar simply does not have high enough market share for algorithmic collusion to be driving the surges in rent prices. If only 10% of the market is using the tool, that's not enough for a cartel to be effective

@mattyglesias It's disappointing that in modern political talk, "economic growth" is associated with corporate profits, when it just as accurately means "more money for health care, education, housing and vacations"
@elonmusk@RenataKonkoly Thats not how modern war works. It's just as much about material and morale as it is about the number of warm bodies. A lot more people will die, but at the end of it, Ukraine's borders will be restored and the Russians will have gotten rid of Putin

@JoshManning23 @RubenGallego Never, never again will we elect a man willing to throw away democracy when he loses an election. Unless gas prices keep rising, in which case sure let's have him back.
