@hamiltonsympat1@colin_boyle_@mattyglesias I think people shouldn’t make crazy predictions, and people who do make crazy predictions should not be anywhere near presidential campaigns.
@hamiltonsympat1@colin_boyle_@mattyglesias You’re willing to bet that, conditional on Kamala Harris becoming president, Liz Cheney will become defense secretary, the US will invade 12 countries and will lose a million soldiers? Happy to give you 2/1 odds on that one
@BramDesmet9 Dit werkt niet onder het nieuwe gemeentedecreet: omdat Voor Gent één fractie vormt (en je kan een fractie niet ontbinden na de verkiezingen), wordt Declercq automatisch burgemeester in dit scenario
@LeftyIsBestyy@mfahey218@mattyglesias look at evangelicals and republicans. They don't get everything they want but they are loyal and they get their fair share of wins.
@BRUZZbe Positief: het persbericht legt de verantwoordelijkheid waar ze hoort. Negatief: de eigenlijke maatregelen worden nog steeds opgelegd aan de zwakke weggebruikers.
@Tpsmyth01 @UsernamesLast @mattyglesias I’m pretty sure non EU carriers can and do operate intra-EU flights, which is the equivalent of US domestic flights. Flights within a single country in the EU are more like flights within a state in the US, a small and boring part of the market.
@feelsdesperate@cameronmattis@jdcmedlock Do you think companies should enforce non-competes against bartenders, but only if they serve non-alcoholic drinks? Or am I misunderstanding you?
@karlbykarlsmith@CraigMcGillivar@mattyglesias What’s the distortion? Is it forced sale? I don’t see that as a big issue, unless you assume huge tax bills on undiversified investors with no possibility of lending against the assets
@epimetheusthaII @low_tex @mattyglesias Yes and also: where do you draw the physical line? Who gets to determine zoning rules: immediate neighbors? A 10-block area? A square mile? Or the entire city?
