"Why is the New Yorker trying to rehabilitate a misogynistic dickbag" and "why does the New Yorker still insist on using diaeresis" are two questions with the same answer:
They think you're stupid. They think you're too stupid to question the headlines and too stupid to read two vowels separately.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Here's my thought for the poor widdle house hoarders:
If receiving unemployment requires us to show we're actively searching, then any housing tax breaks should require that you're actively searching for a tenant. Otherwise, vacancy tax time.
This is a compromise, Maoism is the other possibility
