Increasingly confident in my decision (ha) to never procreate
Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

Some people have a really hard time understanding the modern right & need all the help they can get. We call these people "journalists"
I like how every six months or so we get a big "This Obscure Fasicst Thinker Is Key To Understanding The Modern Right" and without fail every one of those is the biggest loser you've ever heard of writing the stupidest articles you've ever read for Racism Monthly

If you think that the absence of the rule of law means that the powerful people you hate are going to be strung up instead of people like you, you are dangerously stupid
Sorry we tried it the other way for 30 years and everything got worse. String em up. If one or two executives get caught in the crossfire I genuinely couldn't give less of a shit. All those people in Grenfell are dead and it IS someone's fault and they GOT AWAY WITH IT and it'll happen again.
As an American living through our shit right now, I am really uncomfortable the idea that a better justice system is one that allows for the government to quickly dole out punishment when it’s politically expedient. The lack of repercussions for Grenfell is terrible, but think this one through a bit

This is really important. Civilian control of the military is incredibly important. But it implies that each of us has an obligation to not vote for people who will ask the military to do stupid, crazy things. Because the norm of civilian control will not withstand literally ANYTHING.
one of the things dr schake and i were both wrestling with in this conversation--i think not really conclusively--is how you maintain the norm of civilian supremacy when the civilians are issuing objectively illegal, murderous orders

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Pandemic stay at home policy was helpful in realizing that eating out and spending money on mutual aid and online shopping (as opposed to thrifting in stores) didn’t prevent me from saving/paying credit card bills because the real money sink was my suspended $400+ monthly graduate school loans

If the press were to bluntly call out racism as such instead of “racially charged” or “what some critics have called racist,” suddenly they’d have to make up an excuse for why it took them so long. So they’ll never do it.

For decades now Republicans have insisted it only counts as racism if you specifically say the N word and then don’t apologize, and the political press has decided that’s the definition of racism.
