"Ambitious white men in their thirties have not seen much, if any, decline over this period. Their overall employment is up...Educational attainment is up. There may be 1-2% of white men who dipped out of top 10% of personal earnings, though white men continue to be vastly over-represented there."
Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon

So the thing is, at some point you realize that Trump purposefully surrounds himself with mediocrity because he has no idea what's happening and because mediocre people are the only people who have faith in him. It is almost certainly fully compromised for this reason as well.
I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Remember how Americans learned about hygge (the Scandinavian tradition of slowing down, relaxing to the rhythms of seasonal change, connecting physically to the cycles of nature) and turned it into a glut of “cozy” polyester merch like socks and blankets that now choke thrift store donation bins?

Bari Weiss won't hear your remarks about how disgusted you are with her toadying to the admin but on the other hand yes she will, these people are absolute dogs for attention and would eat their own vomit on live TV if it meant even three people would notice them

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

A lot of people seem to need or want Trump to admit that he’s a p3do and I’d propose that if anyone really wants that to happen all they need to do is start heavily implying on social media that his accusers have actually said he’s impotent. You’d have a full confession on Truth in five seconds.
