@ajb_powell Why doesn’t government consumption turn into household spending?

[Kal @kalsam_]

@our_decay We could have had it all

[Kal @kalsam_]

@carto_graph Isn’t this due to the (by our standards) extremely low share of income that went to housing back then?

@john_ritzema I think Online is warping people’s perception on this. The bill is (unfortunately) extremely popular with the public and treating reform like a joke for wanting to repeal will probably play well

[Kal @kalsam_]

@pseudoerasmus Isn’t all this also held by Tooze?

@Birdyword I think the expansion of the university of Leeds post-2014 was a huge boost.

@molochofficial “Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.”

@oliverwkim I would love to see your reflections as you go through it!

[Kal @kalsam_]

@molochofficial But it’s not a bad way to re-read. That’s half the fun imo

[Kal @kalsam_]

@john_ritzema The whole premise is absurd. Why should the public understand parliamentary procedural language (except the extremely obvious like bill/reading/law)

[Kal @kalsam_]

@lawhsw I love the implication that courage can never have negative consequences

[Kal @kalsam_]

@sufferingnatsci Negative polarization is an underrated explanation of why so much discourse and policymaking is awful.

@bartlebytaco I’ve been reading the Maigret novels (in translation) and I was baffled at the reference to eating “sandwiches” for lunch until I realized they’re not monstrosities

[Kal @kalsam_]

@bartlebytaco Often they didn’t even bother to wait for the ball’s invention. A severed head afforded multiple sports

@molochofficial Did you do the Emerson house tour? It’s delightful
