Nearly every YIMBY I know yells, "Yes, AND..." to zoning reform. "Yes, and permitting reform. Yes, and environmental review. Yes, and fewer onerous 'affordable housing' reqs. Yes, and fewer height restrictions. Yes, and transit-oriented planning."

Conservatives have been arguing that while overall job growth may be slowing, native-born employment is soaring. Jed Kolko has a great post today about how that's not true; it's based on a misunderstanding of the BLS data. First, here's his full explanation of the key reason.

Seems like exclusive reliance on public-sector sources might be a bad thing for accuray.

Welp: "US wholesale inflation accelerated in July by the most in three years, boosted by a surge in margins that indicates companies are not absorbing higher import costs related to tariffs." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Per the Urban Institute, the federal government spends about $5 on seniors for every $1 it spends on kids. Between all levels of government, seniors get twice as much.

This is the kind of nonsense that kills the credibility of journalists AND scientists. Stop writing these foolish, counterproductive papers.

If they try, I'm going to laugh when they get a mandatory 20%+ cut to their social security benefits.

When presented with an option to expand state power, and by extension, his own, Trump has never and will never choose the wise path of constraint. It is the antithesis of American ideals and exactly what the founding fathers warned against.

Invariably, when I post this set of stats, answrs include 1) anger, 2) arguments about emotional labor, & 3) women take less leisure (though they spend the difference on self care and sleep). Conversation quickly becomes intractable. Richard is, luckily, much better at comms.
