anybody know of any examples of people mapping out where federal funding is flowing in their town/city, and what the impacts are if it is cut off?

I’m talking small scale

I’d like to write up a report like this for my town of a few thousand residents

I once spoke during the open comment portion of a school board meeting and within a day three people had asked me to run in the next election.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

not to be flippant, but it does seem they’ve gone about as fur as they can go
insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.

Well UH

In my world (energy policy), to a first approximation, *everyone* underestimated how bad Republicans would be this time around.

So my basic question is: has anyone updated their priors? Revised their analytical categories? Learned anything from this? Will do things differently next time? Anyone?

because this is catching strays: I meant we should worry less about vaccine side effects, not less about all the death that abandoning vaccination will cause. thx everybody good game
people need to freak out less about vaccines and a lot more about invisible air pollution if you ask me

today in Unfortunately I Get It

it is sick that they’re doing away with the newborn Hep B rec

and this MAHA shit is being fueled by the incredible cognitive tax of navigating a world that is indeed full of industrial poison and doesn’t give a fuck for pregnant people’s health
it feels like a lifetime ago, and it sucks even to confess it, but I looked into delaying my kid’s vax schedule and waited a week to have her get the Hep B

decided the risks of other shot delays were too high

it’s not a huge leap from being worried about BPA, bioaccumulating toxins, etc.
