@chris_j_paxton Pretty sure they (we) already are getting benefit from it. At least half the time I use Google, their AI answer solves a real problem for me (health, exercise, problems I have to solve for work, etc). My normie friends also enjoy these benefits but some...don't realize it's AI.

@sp6runderrated That guy must really hate markets

[Derek Pederson 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇻🇪 @DerekPederson3]

Leftists who extol the New Deal misread FDR aggressively.

He was anti-tariff, a hawkish liberal internationalist, and a proto-Keynesian.

Transported to today, he would be an establishment liberal on everything other than racial issues.

Aisha Wahab fought tooth and nail against SB 79, a bill that would help public transit systems in California by making it so that more people live near the stations there

Wahab is likely to run for reelection in 2026. Time to primary her.

This is spot on. "The real problem with these econ critics — both the lefty writers in The Guardian and the new crop of MAGA defenders — is that their project is fundamentally political. The lefty writers think that if everyone accepts that econ isn’t a science, and that the econ Nobel isn’t a real Nobel, and people aren’t like particles, and so on and so forth, then some sort of lefty ideology — Marxism, or degrowth, or whatever — will flow in to fill the hole left when economics vanishes. The MAGA writers think that it will be Trump’s economic ideas that fill that void instead."

I think you shouldn't accuse others of lying with data when you literally don't understand the concept of dependent events and thus gave Biden a 99.5% chance of victory.

Someone who bought a nice home for $300,000 twenty years ago in their 30s, shouldn’t be forced out of it in their 50s because their neighborhood takes off, and they have no real direct benefit until they sell, and the state has no increased cost as a result of their appreciating value.

I also find it very funny the idea that grocery stores are lording over us with some intolerably high level of profit. Their net profit margins are paper thin.

Prop 13 isn't great, but raising property taxes won't increase housing supply.

Higher property taxes make the cost of housing rise, which reduces investment.

Such a funny critique, almost every YIMBY I know who has managed to buy a home in California has added an ADU, or is planning to add an ADU or do an SB 9 lot split.

I think the first time an AI model did something for me that would have been very difficult to get a computer to do prior was: I needed to read a German newspaper article from 1895. I took a screenshot, uploaded it to ChatGPT, and it gave a (correct) translation near-instantly.

rent control is government seizure of privately owned assets without compensation

[David French @DavidAFrench]

One of MAGA's worst cons is redefining strength as weakness and weakness as strength.

Capitulate to Trump and cater to his every whim? You're strong! You know what time it is!

Hold fast to your principles? You're weak. You're soft.

That's the critique of judges in a nutshell.

[Daniel Di Martino @DanielDiMartino]

Democrats will use massive executive power like never before once they are back in power. It's the natural consequence of ever-greater deference to the executive branch.

Congress must reclaim its proper constitutional role before it's too late.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

If anything, the conservative legal movement has been far too indulgent of Trump and his constitutional arson. His turning on it should be a lesson.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

Housing politics are so strange.

Texas Republicans put housing reforms at the top of their priority list this year… meanwhile Connecticut republicans voted unanimously against any changes.

Don’t listen to people who try to tell you YIMBY is a partisan issue. It’s not.
