The commodification and financialization of Housing extracts maximum rents from tenants leaving much less to prime the local economy (restaurants, clothing, food stuffs, sports, entertainment, etc.)
Not at all good for a consumption economy!

It should be noted, not one year of the New Deal or Great Society makes the list od the 10 largest annual deficits in American History. At this point not even one year of WWII does either. 4 of the 5 largest immediately follow the two largest tax cuts, by W and Trump. -OS

I'm not saying it's likely to happen.

BUT, 12 years after Gillis & Gilman were originally let go by the #Canucks, it's fair to wonder if time has healed wounds on both sides.

Is it time for Gillis and/or Gilman to finish what they started in Vancouver?

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

@SecScottBessent this looks challenging to frame

Between 2008 and 2020, U.S. newspaper newsroom employment fell 57%.

More than 200 counties are now "news deserts"—no local outlet at all. In another 1,500+ counties, only one remains.

bought out the whole IMAX so we could watch Crime 101 alone

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

q: do you know what 100% tariffs on 4.5 million barrels of imported canadian oil per day would do to gas prices in the midwest?

Daniel Wagner is a true original, and an exceptional hockey writer. I hope #Canucks fans will strongly consider following and supporting his work at his independent site - I know I will be!

[Kat Botchford @KatBotchford]

What started as a tribute to Jason has become a launchpad for young hockey writers to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in hockey media.

To the Canucks, mentors, and every writer who shows up with heart—thank you!

Best of luck to the applicants!

A new report from the CDC shows a dramatic drop in overdose deaths. Harm reduction efforts are one of the reasons for that decline, the agency says, yet the Trump administration has proposed eliminating harm reduction from the 2026 budget. My latest. https://t.co/3Fb57zAs3K

[Alec MacGillis @AlecMacGillis]

Quite a sight: Mitsubishi is simply parking hundreds of its cars at the port of Baltimore before sending them on to dealers, hoping tariffs will be reduced soon. Volkswagen is doing the same with Audis.

[Andrew Bell @dandy_bell]

@NicholasCraven_ Absolutely implied it.

[Daniel Goldbeck @DtheGman]

This is 100% the reason for Trump announcing his intentions to reopen Alcatraz as an actual prison and impose tariffs on films shot abroad.

One hundred. Percent.
