@patrickc Are you planning to return? Change of topic: can you please figure out how to enable pay-per-view of paywalled articles on substack, NYT, FT, et al in order to make quality journalism and writing more accessible to all. Thanks.
@mattyglesias pro-growth reforms that disproportionately benefit people at the bottom of the economic ladder? yup, and make sure they feel it. income qualified rebates on energy consumption *and* investments to reduce consumption
@mattyglesias "Everyone wants to be part of something ... But they don’t want responsibility or work. They just want to be part of something. And, you know, be able to forget it or just take it or leave it." -- Rodney Pink, "The Bikeriders"
@mattyglesias Investing hours and hours connecting with voters every day, every month, every year? Sounds like Keith Ellison's advice for Dems from 2016.
@mattyglesias Too bad the total number of people in the lowest 4.9 quintiles who will see this chart before they vote is even less than the number of people in the top 1 percent who give a fuck.
@gauss1181@lichess Bortnyk and Naroditsky implemented their Jobava London course as pgn files which, when uploaded to a lichess study, comprise 8 chapters covering key ideas and 8 chapters covering high frequency lines. I, a study newb, like their approach.
@mattyglesias Economists have a weird condition of including 100 percent of the value of stuff in GDP even if a lot of stuff is just waste. More weirdly, they also include the value of health care associated with eating too much stuff in GDP.
@mattyglesias Complimenti ai quartieri urbani intelligenti, percorribili ea uso misto ovunque si trovino. Fanculo gli sviluppatori senza cervello e le persone che pensano che i cambiamenti radicali della zonizzazione siano la soluzione. Goditi la bella Italia!
@mattyglesias If Arlington Virginia Dems eviscerate current residential zoning requirements without putting this issue to a county-wide vote then yes, I want them kicked out.
@mattyglesias Yglesias style zoning liberalization, in which states and local governments can nullify the rights of current property owners as they see fit and anyone can build a 10 story building on property they own, is land baron stuff posing as free market stuff.
