This is key to the survival of authoritarian regimes. It's also an example of the Spiral of Silence in action: if there is no public opposition then people keep silent about their doubts, which makes it appear that there is more support for the regime than there is, leading to even more silence etc.

Reagan started the lie about welfare queens who live in luxury on public assistance. No one ever located one of these individuals but the lie lives on. In the spirit of Jesus, can we please have some empathy for folks who might be going through a rough patch through no fault of their own?

when I taught intro econ I used to go through this story with marginal tax rates and tell them it would be on the exam. I would do a review session and tell them it would be on the exam. One-third still got it wrong.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

The Great Depression didn't especially help the rich. Let's not imagine the Trump team are super-geniuses pretending to be morons. They are in fact morons and they are kicking our asses. That's the way it is.

I remain stunned that we don’t have a half dozen Democratic senators competing to see who can be the biggest thorn in Trump’s side.
