yes

housing pls

[yes @oreos2002]

@HellenicVibes @allgarbled it requires bass, not volume

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Many political commentators take it for granted than manufacturing is the only route to high-paying blue collar jobs.

Construction jobs are just as viable, and unlike manufacturing, there's no global competition. In fact, there's a major housing shortage!

[yes @oreos2002]

@transscribe just pass a law that says you’re replacing obamacare with the aca

[yes @oreos2002]

@AlexGodofsky @nominalthoughts violent crime should rightfully be a higher priority but yeah, could use some improvement there too

[yes @oreos2002]

@MattBruenig @mattyglesias then i don’t understand why electeds are turning to them at all. if you had a real priority you wanted to accomplish, why would you let them get in the way?

[yes @oreos2002]

@mattyglesias @MattBruenig many of the electeds have been there for years before this started though, haven’t they? why would they still be looking at those groups like authority figures?

[yes @oreos2002]

@MattBruenig @mattyglesias would anything at all happen if they just ignored those groups?

[yes @oreos2002]

@Benjami89700129 @Patrick_Wyman local elections often get like 10% elections lol. not much ‘mass’ there

[yes @oreos2002]

@jdcmedlock so pass it again. why not

[yes @oreos2002]

@dylanmatt ok, pass a bill doing it anyway. if it’s already the case then nothing will happen and no harm done, right?

[yes @oreos2002]

@mnolangray why don’t we at least make this a survey or something?

[yes @oreos2002]

@PEWilliams_ @ernietedeschi @mattyglesias yes! ive been furious about this the whole time and idk why people don’t mention it more

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

we have to baseline this with Europe

they ran a traditional slow-growth don't-overdo-it recovery that has cost the continent in terms of growth and productivity

and they still had a massive inflation spike that voters hated because inflation was mostly an energy shock effect

[yes @oreos2002]

@boxcardavid literally how is this possible lmao

[yes @oreos2002]

@pachabelcanon if there’s supposedly tons of people smarter than him, where are their space companies

[yes @oreos2002]

@NickTagliaferro there’s an interesting asymmetry here.

d cities- nyc, sf, etc- are highly visible. people nationwide know about their problems.

but there are no r cities that big. when r cities/areas have problems, they’re less concentrated for reporters to focus on easily

[Victoria Buchanan @VictoriaFutures]

As a researcher, this graphic from the NYT stood out to me pre-election as a good representation of the vibe and emotional state of the nation.

Lots to be unpacked here.

[yes @oreos2002]

@SoledadUrsua @moseskagan what if they just don’t renew leases?

[yes @oreos2002]

@WillBredderman this seems pretty standard for influencers. ‘new video in 3 days!’ ‘get ready for new vlog!’ ‘so hyped for tomorrow!’ etc etc

youtuber candidate might be the future

[yes @oreos2002]

@TheOmniZaddy @Conblob was this not already standard practice?
