me when I politicize civil service work so they begin behaving politically (perhaps the Pendleton act had some points)

Also, and this feels important, you writing an op-ed for the Times is not "Democrats, as a party." This is more "democrats have to answer for the words of every liberal online but republicans don't have to for their own actions in power"

We should also be calling our Representative! Dems alone are not going to be able to stop this blatant unconstitutional power grab. Don't let McGuire off because he's a Republican, I've been calling daily demanding he do something

I think you're right but my concern is with media environment, even MSM is pretty heavily downplaying how insane the shit is rn and the public isn't going to feel outrage unless told where to direct it

Can you link the source for this? I can't find it online

The thesis being described above is that none of that matters, you just wanna win the attention war and have people hearing your message as much as possible. The left-wing economic doomerism is an extremely effective meme that can take up a lot of attentional space

I don't mean this as a gotcha because I think you're right about both things, but do you acknowledge this is contradictory to the whole "stop dooming about economy" thing? If this is the philosophy, we should be tapping into any latent economic anxiety as much as possible, warranted or no

Crazy how much time you can have to be funny if you don’t spend 30% of your time malding at trans people

I've been on there since 2019, I really love that app. I deleted it today (after I got the unavailable popup) for basically that reason. Don't care if Trump brings it back to life somehow, I'm done

I like walking Preston and every time I cross the street I have to, like, do acrobatics to get myself over the mountian of snow on the curb

You can see in this report that people are way more concerned about safety and people acting erratically than too many people: new.mta.info/document/131..., that almost certainly improves with increased commuter ridership, for lots of reasons but if for no other just sheer dilution of weirdos

I don't think congestion costs on trains are particularly high, especially at the frequency they run at commuter hours in NYC. Further, having more people on trains makes them (at least feel) safer to everyone, and also yes you get to share fixed costs across more people!

Again wanna be clear I think the article's good, just that imo the debate's much clearer than the headline suggests for reasons the article doesn't address
comment in response to

Like if you've got a paragraph dedicated to how rents are being substituted from parking lot owners to the government I think it makes sense to have one pointing out that increased commuter MTA ridership is good for other MTA commuters, of which there are way more than drivers

If I'm honest, I think the positive externalities of reducing driving to nondrivers are probably larger (at least the same order of magnitude) than the reduction in congestion externalities. It feels like the article points at a cost-benefit analysis that misses most of the benefits
comment in response to
post
Good article but you miss that driving has lots of non-congestion externalities. Noise, pollution, and road damage are all reduced with less driving. This article mostly looks at the welfare effects for drivers + some consideration of revenue. Also doesn't consider IRS of substitution to pub transit

Like just to take xmas as an example. Saying Happy Holidays started as a thing a few companies did to be more inclusive, which is fine! But then Rs start screaming foul and demanding you say Merry Christmas, which makes it feel like capitulation to do so in day-to-day speaking. Many such cases!

And I'm concerned that there's going to be more and more partisan linguistic fracturing. Twitter vs X, Gulf of Mexico vs Gulf of America, migrants vs immigrants. The more of these there are the more common language itself splits on partisan lines, and to me it's mostly driven by the right
