guy at the doctor’s office just asked me to watch his ~4-year-old daughter for 5 minutes while he runs out to the car to get something. only bc I’m a Good Samaritan and upstanding member of society

@surgesoda @mattyglesias are you under the impression that it's impossible to accrue medical debt under existing single-payer systems

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

might fuck around and eat some yogurt

@CastingTheTunes @w1llthemarshal @Daniel_Sugarman surely this very lenient standard is one you also apply to anti-Israel public figures who aren’t members of the cabinets of nuclear-armed states

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

@Daniel_Sugarman the Israeli government’s failure to silence him (among many other public figures) over the past few years is however a pretty unambiguous violation of the Genocide Convention’s prohibition against incitement

I don’t think that this is an accurate characterization of federal social spending

[David J Harris Jr @DavidJHarrisJr]

Stephen Miller: “What we’ve found since President Trump took office is that Democrats have set up a system to funnel hundreds of billions — ultimately trillions — of dollars to migrants in our country, effectively with the sole intent of overthrowing the Constitutional Republic of the United States.”

Thoughts?

I suppose millennials could continue getting tattoos well into middle age and thus keep the businesses afloat, but it’s cringe to think about

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

think about how many tattoo parlors are going to go under because of the shrinking number of young people

@NewLeftEViews We see this everywhere. Hostility is strongest in areas with less diversity because (1) demographics of the native popn(2)the rate of change is often the important thing. At this stage the evidence about what drives this vote across Europe is clear imo

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

@TheStalwart @thedillona @adam_tooze sure but then it concludes by gesturing at the need to devise a whole new politics (I have my guesses about what Tooze has in mind, and it’s certainly not an easier lift than social democracy) instead of just compromising on the migration issues

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

@Noahpinion @DerekPederson3 the article pretty clearly says this tho. where it goes wrong is in arguing that bc voters prioritize immigration restrictionism over social democracy, we need to devise a whole new politics (knowing Tooze, implicitly international communism) instead of compromising on the former

[Zack Straw 🇹🇩 @_Ramifications_]

@aaronjakes @nikhil_palsingh yeah we just have to do international communism instead, much easier lift
