Twitter has become the id steering our national politics. It’s not that the average American is very online, it’s that the most powerful people in America, who make all the decisions, are very online and care about it. And so Online Vibes and Online Consensus become exceedingly important in policy.

Musk did not create Tesla. He demanded the title “founder” after investing in an existing company. Starting an aerospace contracting business is not super difficult if you’re already very rich.
I just don’t buy the idea that this guy is a super genius. He’s just rich.

How many ten year old boys had access to home computers and programming educational resources in 1981?
I don’t think he’s a dummy; but the dude got extraordinarily lucky several times, including his birth.

I saw a Youth wearing Jnco jeans on the bus and it was not a good look.

I thought I’d be cool with it but now teenagers are wearing the same ugly clothes and hairstyles that I wore in middle school and it’s extremely upsetting.

I still hang out with younger people through skateboarding and I am very happy to be the old head who turns them on to culture from my youth.

Who is the “we” you are talking about? The Democratic Party has spent the past 15 years defending the ACA from literally hundreds of Republican attempts to repeal it.

Like don’t get me wrong we should have tons of inexpensive and nice 3- and 4-bedroom apartments in our cities but if you want a family size dwelling there are a lot of them that are available to you.

Wait what did we do?

Do you think the nationalized British and single payer Canadian health insurance systems don’t ration care to save money?

Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurers are required to spend at least 80 or 85% of premium dollars on patient care. You would know this if you had any interest in healthcare policy. www.cms.gov/marketplace/...

It seems to me that America’s housing shortage is in large part a shortage of smaller units.

Care is rationed under every health care system, including the single payer systems that American leftists celebrate.

The overwhelming majority of urban land in American cities is exclusively reserved for family sized homes, despite nuclear families with small or school-aged children making up a decreasing share of households, while single people living alone are the fastest growing household demographic.

I lived about 400’ from a frequently congested section the 405 freeway in Los Angeles for a few years. Imagine my surprise when I moved away and I suddenly stopped having “allergies.”

I just think that we should have clear rules about what you can build and where you can build it, and that those rules should be enforced fairly. Further, we have very good evidence that building new homes quickly benefits everyone. cayimby.org/blog/movin-o...

Serenely repeating to myself “these people are mad because they are losing control over the Democratic Party position on housing, and they are furious at me because I am an effective messenger for YIMBYism.”
