Childcare continues to be an unsolved problem. So it used to be that you could basically hire someone (generally a young single woman) to live with you for a period of time, you had to feed them and give them a place to sleep but beyond that not much pay. So this is like $5000 in modern terms

I've never done it but apparently you can take money out of a roth IRA at any time without taxes or penalties, as long as you're withdrawing contributions and not gains. Seems like a strong case for deleting your savings account and using the Roth IRA as your savings account

there was a moment in 2007/2008 when climate activism was genuinely good politics, people cared, and the very small amount of effort that was made had massive payoffs, dramatically reducing costs and carbon emissions literally fell. Instead of being encouraged by this people abandoned it

it's not literally true but I think "Wind and solar are free" is probably good branding for the climate movement right now. Maybe phrase it more convincingly. It's a stone soup situation, promise lower electric bills with "free" wind and solar and let the community fill in the details

much of the work on AI-generated misinformation focuses on regular users/communities, while ignoring how political and economic elites can seal themselves into a hermetic slop box -- a repeat of the same mistake we made with radicalization and conspiracism in the previous decade

Ok a couple more "cost of thanksgiving" points
1)the low price tags on these baskets really drives home how much cheaper cooking at home is than doordash or restaurant food. So many people deny this but for ~one doordash meal you could feed your family for a week

The billionaire conspiracy has definitely moved me more in favor of a wealth tax. I don't think it's good strictly on the econ merits, but I've come to see taking power from these people as its own social good and if a tax can do that maybe we should give it a try

Lately I've just been sewing all buttonholes by hand. In principle my machine can do them faster and better, but the variance is too high. When it screws up, which is often, I lose tons of time *and* the result looks awful. Doing it by hand gives me consistency and control

Thanksgiving costs climbed about 10% this year over last year, according to new research from @groundwork.bsky.social @tcfdotorg.bsky.social & @aft.org.
That’s an increase of more than 3X the overall inflation rate. Explore the research👇
