To be fair, China built this network in the space of 12 years on an area roughly equivalent to the U.S. East of the Mississippi. If we didn’t have a deeply corrupt administrative state, we could have much more rail than we do now, at least on the coasts.
I am so tired of seeing people blame BlackRock for our insane housing market. The value of all real estate in the U.S. is ~$75 TRILLION.
You could add up the net worth of every billionaire in the US, all of BlackRock’s assets and you wouldn’t make a dent in the market.
Bill Gates is buying up the majority of American farmland and BlackRock is buying the majority of single family houses but I'm supposed to believe the biggest threat to us is Elon Musk buying Twitter?
Azerbaijan is a shameless genocidal monster and it is disgusting we allow our allies in the EU to support them.
A major black mark on any attempted claims for American or Western moral superiority.

Lots of people missing the point here that this is probably targeted at DC teenagers in particular who are totally out of control, and masks just make it worse.
Biden may attend mass, but his admin is explicitly hostile to religion (tried to force Catholic hospital to put out eternal flame in chapel) & is offensively at odds with Catholic values.
Meanwhile, Trump less religious but admin was pro-religious freedom and much less offensive
It's objective true that Joe Biden is the most religiously active President we've had in generations.
In late 2023, Biden had attended Mass 100 times. That's more than Carter and W. Bush combined.
We forget how rare church going is among American presidents.

They didn’t handcuff the child and brought him straight to his father to talk to him. They acted exactly how one would hope, and that would be enough in a functioning society but more and more of these parents side with the kid or are just absent entirely.
I think DC granting teens a get-out-of-jail free card is rife with moral hazard.
However, when it’s a 10 year-old committing armed robberies, it should be the parents going to jail.
KIDS CARJACK NISSAN IN NW-- 2800 blk Adams Mill Rd NW DC. 5 to 6 young kids (10 to 12 years old per BOLO???) carjacked a silver 2013 Nissan Sentra with Va tags. They were armed, came on bikes and two took the Nissan.
#LanierHeightsDC
Unpopular opinion, but teenagers in DC should face real consequences for their actions, rather than getting a get-out-of-jail-free card that applies no matter how heinous the crime is, including murder.
WOW BRILLIANT - A contagious virus is a public health risk so let’s cut service and make trains absurdly crowded so that the virus spreads even faster. Nice!!!

Most encouraging takeaway for prospective parents from academic literature is that while there is no limit to how much a bad parent can screw up their kid, the difference between a good parent and a great parent on outcomes is marginal.
As long as you try, it’s probably fine.
My kids are very young, but even at this early stage it's remarkable how little difference parenting makes. If my daughter charges at you it's to give you a hug. If my son runs at you it's to tackle you or launch a projectile at your face. The notion that we're responsible for
I’m less concerned about AI replacing jobs. If anything, people will just adapt to becoming exceptionally more productive, spending a lot less time on learning curves and a lot more time thinking through problems and building things.
There is this annoying anti-American economic narrative among right wingers that really breaks down if you leave the U.S.
The U.S. is a rich country and our welfare state is very generous.
That’s not the issue. The issue is a decline in social trust, pro-sociality, and culture.

All the Trump campaign needs to do at this point is replay images of Minneapolis burning like a third-world war zone and remind them that this ticket was complicit in destroying thousands of lives and livelihoods.
I’m skeptical of these “get out the vote” campaigns. If you are apathetic and have no idea what’s going on I would rather you didn’t dilute my vote and make decisions that can potentially affect my life.
This is literally across the street from my apartment. I hate this place so much.
There is no excuse to behave like this. These people need accountability.
This is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that anyone is even remotely trying to make this a thing gives me a serious case of secondhand embarrassment. Can someone please send the misinformed SJW’s packing? Thanks

How could someone watch this and still believe that it’s not only acceptable but also humane to terminate a pregnancy because someone has a genetic disorder? All life is beautiful, we need to remind ourselves of that constantly.
ZERO reason to be mad about getting less back on a tax return. Tax returns are just the gov paying you back on a forced and mandatory zero interest loan. If you get less back, odds are you kept more of your paycheck.
This outrage is just politicians taking advantage of ignorance
Our problem is that we don’t build enough housing. That’s because the housing market is insanely over-regulated at the local level, mostly because old people make a habit of actively blocking new construction out of fear their home prices go down.
Just watched Sound of Freedom (great movie), and all of the negative press about the movie is even more puzzling. Apparently a handful of subtle biblical references and negative portrayal of pedophiles is enough to get labeled as QAnon (despite the movie being made years before).
Chills. This is so important.
From the mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance:
I sincerely hope more people listen to these wise words from someone who deeply cares about their community and stop glorifying the destruction of our homes.
How can ANYONE see this violence and think it’s acceptable? The desecration of genocide memorials, assaults (and now possible murders). Desecration of cathedrals. This is no longer human behavior. This isn’t about civil rights anymore. This is thugs using a tragedy as an excuse.
New Orleans was cool and all but I think a flamethrower is going to be the only thing that could possibly get the smell of bourbon street off my shoes 💀
What amount of delusion do you have to have to brush off daily murders, carjackings, assaults, stabbings, and blatant open daylight robberies and act like nothing is wrong?

Say what you want about Trump and his administration, but from an economic standpoint, the administration proposed solutions for the GSEs, the student loan crisis, etc all have a lot of potential to have a very big positive impact on the US. Lots of good economists at the CEA

This is an interpretation that relies on the extra-biblical assumption that time is an absolute constant, imposing a temporal constraint on God.
St. Augustine was one of the 1st to point out that time must be relative (God created & exists outside of time) what is a day to God?

The reason tax collections per capita are so high at $15,000 is because of the ultra rich.
You’re confusing average and median
If you turned the average household earnings into an hourly rate it would be roughly $45/hr
A lot of households don’t pay taxes and most pay 12-24%
One thing that I’ve always found so ridiculous is the concept of “your truth”
This implies that truth is relative and everyone’s own chosen interpretation of reality is correct, which is absurd.
There is no such thing as “your truth” or “my truth”
There is only THE truth lol
We have the richest cities in all of human history in the U.S. (NYC, SF, DC). There should be a chasm in the relative quality of life between our cities and the rest of the world, yet we have made it so dysfunctional and challenging to build, we can’t have nice things like this.
People who regularly carry this much cash either live in a third world country with poor institutions, or are very irresponsible at managing their finances.

Can you truly be reformed? Yes. Should you still face justice/punishment for your crimes? Absolutely.
Leftists are really off in their belief that criminal justice is supposed to be purely rehabilitative. It should also be punitive for the sake of the people who are victimized.
@BadEconTakes
I would argue that stocks =/= money. Sure, stocks have a liquid value and debt instruments exist where investors can borrow against their present value. But stocks have implied volatility, and as long as the investors don’t lock in their prices, capital gains/loss means nothing.
