overheard at the bar:
“did you hear nickleback released a new song?”
“no is it good?”

This is extraordinary journalism. Again from Bloomberg. Data analysis: Massive increases in arrests for low-level crimes—of poverty, health, housing—have done opposite of reducing violent crime. Violence only increased. A stunning indictment of policing.https://t.co/0ba2C2NVzc

This study is effectively a window into a parallel universe where America is not an embarrassing international outlier in terms of health.

In that world, a third of the Americans who died last year—and half the working-age ones—are still alive. 3/

criminalizing abortion is far more violent than throwing a brick through a window bc our politicians are failing us. the right is out there to kill, and we're focused on civility.

[CSPAN @cspan]

President Biden: "I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful. Peaceful, peaceful, peaceful. No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable. Threats and intimidation are not speech."

been in NYC for 13 years & there's always been tweets like this to dunk on. there is a sustained bullshit right-wing campaign to depict the city as a crime-ridden hellhole, about to collapse into chaos, and the only solution is..... more policing & disappearing homeless folks

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

me neither

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

you ever go to the bathroom to brush your teeth and immediately accidentally knock your toothpaste off the sink onto the floor in the small crack between the sink and the wall that's exactly toothpaste tube width and then just give up to try again sometime later

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

if no restaurant has changed the menu name of their nachos to “fully loaded nachos” then i give up

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

which is why we can't draw these lines and make these rules. we have no idea. the fairest thing is to cancel it all.

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

these ppl have worms in their brains. "we can't help all the ppl struggling with their student loans bc it will also marginally help some rich ppl and that's not fair." what's way less fair is the current system. hard lines will ensure that some ppl who need help won't get it.

3) there *will* be political backlash, of course.

4) total debt cancellation would produce some very weird and bad distributional outcomes that while relatively small would be genuinely politically toxic and substantively indefensible.

[lil gas-x @ianscotthowland]

ppl act like we have this live data on ppl's financial comfort. like yeah we know their income last year based on this year's tax return, but they could have lost their job since then or injured themselves or had a child.
