There's a key technical difference: high incomes don't get CTC. This policy is closer to increasing taxes on the rich but also offering them a CTC.

Comment on wording still applies.

I've caught on fire a few times and I don't recommend stop drop roll on synthetic carpets

(I didn't precisely do that, but I've had a few carpet fire mishaps....)

tbh I have been tempted to post as such -- hard to say we are "winning" if the abductions happen -- but stopped myself/deleted multiple times because it's not helping.

The difficulty is that, by definition, things are still going downhill during a remarkable upward inflection point.

my big low-hanging fruit is healthcare REITs, which primarily exist as a way to extract enormous profits from "nonprofit" hospitals

Your single best "we could remove this with very little damage to the system as it is almost completely vestigal and it would see meaningful cost decreases" are PBMs.

But very few people even know PBMs exist, and they like to keep it that way.

“Emotional labor” itself morphing from a specific term related to the service industry into a term referring to emotional attachment and investment within personal relationships was a bad development.

Senator Scott Wiener @scottwiener.bsky.social · 1d

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

It is funny that we have so decoupled the word "straw" from its original meaning that even though we grow millions of tons of biodegradable cellulose straws every year, no one thought to use them as a plastic replacement, and opted for soggy paper instead.
