Vince Guaraldi was the brilliant composer and pianist behind the Peanuts cartoons.

It was quite controversial to use modern jazz in a kid's cartoon, networks hated it, but introduced many kids to jazz.

He was only 46 when he died in 1976, but left such a legacy!

There was no limit on the distance I could walk or bike when I was 10 years old, let alone 14 years old. School was 10 blocks away, and I walked to and from it every day. Downtown was more than a mile away, and I regularly rode my bike there. I'd ride my bike past the town limits when I was 10, miles from home.

Containing a 14 year-old boy within a block is nonsensical at the individual level, and at a societal level will have far-reaching and deeply deleterious implications when these boys become men.

The goal of every parent should be to raise children who, when they reach 18, have the practical experience and skillset to quickly become independent and fully functioning adults. I can't imagine that keeping teenagers from venturing alone more than a block from their home is going to help parents reliably achieve that goal.

It's very simple to get a dog that never bites anyone.

Just get a dog from a good breed, like a Golden Retriever.

If you get a bad dog like a pit bull, you, your kids, your other pets, your neighbors—you'll be putting them at a high risk of being bitten.

The gap between Austin and SF is the widest it’s ever been.

Building (and not building) homes has consequences.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

We have plenty of data with the required numbers.

Wherever pit bulls are, they are extremely overrepresented among dogs that bite people, pets, and property.

For example, you can get at that by looking at dog-on-dog attack incidents. Pit bulls are overwhelmingly the attackers!

[Zack @Asmongold]

@LeadingReport He's right

Despite being only 7% of the dog population, pitbulls make up 66% of fatal dog attacks

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

Austin did a study last year to find out how much it would cost to bury all of our old power lines. Answer?

$50 BILLION

It’s such a depressingly large number that it’s basically a non-starter.

The cost per mile of driving is much better with an EV you charge at home than it is with a traditional gas-powered car.

Danish paper finds big economic gains from GLP-1 drugs.

“We find that GLP-1 treatment reduces long-term sickness leave by 17.3%.

We estimate total fiscal benefits of GLP-1 initiation of approximately 1.3–1.5% of annual labor income per employed individual.”

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Agreed! And worth noting: Economists generally agree that, when it comes to taxes...

- Corporate income taxes are among the worst
- Property taxes are among the best

We should increase property taxes and lower other, less efficient, less socially productive forms of taxation.

Ojo. Despedir con un sólo examen de drogas positivo, sin confirmación, significa no entender efecto amplificador:
1 test al semestre, 4 años de gob,
100 autoridades

Aunque NADIE consuma, habria en promedio 3-5 Ministros, Subses (o Pdte !) Inocentes echados por falso positivo...

It's remarkable how this looks like an inverted rents vs. permits chart

Places that permit many apartments have lower rents. Places that permit lots of power generation have lower electricity prices

Places that fail to permit things have higher both!

It's not the data centers!

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

People who own pit bulls for their adult life will usually suffer a serious bite.

Almost no one who owns golden retrievers for the same amount of time will be bitten.

The choice is clear.

Gambling disorder cases have started skyrocketing in states where sports betting is legal (this started ~May, 2018) following the end of COVID.

They've remained flat from COVID to today in states where it has remained illegal.

New Yorkers with 16 or more speeding violations will now have to install devices in their cars to limit their driving speeds.

The device will use GPS tracking to restrict how fast the car can drive to the posted speed limit.

The device will be wired into the vehicle's onboard computer.

If drivers refuse to install the device, their registrations will be revoked after 45 days.

My latest for Bloomberg: "We are about to see the Great Clean Energy Acceleration 2.0 – a discontinuity in energy markets as profound as the oil shocks of the 1970s, and one that could bring forward peak fossil fuel use and emissions to this side of 2030." https://t.co/857eRwNea3
