Milwaukee needs to get serious about municipal sidewalk clearing. Nice things are possible (if the state legislature lets us have them).

The new WFB bike lane is a visceral representation of how much we hate bicyclists. Weird that the paint didn’t work! Recalling them saying they wanted this alignment (and not parking buffered) so it matched Shorewood. Funny, how they “care” about biking.

Drivers do not care about you. They will murder you or maim you in a crosswalk, and the public will defend their right to do so. The cops will take the driver’s side, you’ll never see justice, and the road will never be redesigned to prevent this.
Exclusive: Two pedestrians struck minutes apart in Babylon and Medford; both incidents caught on camera
Suffolk County police say a 54-year-old man was making a left turn from Ralph Avenue onto Park Avenue around 8:30 a.m. when he hit a 68-year-old woman in the crosswalk.

Similar thing for me and the NICU.
Oh, my kid needs to be transferred within three hours to stay alive? Hold on, let me call around on Christmas Eve for the best price on a condition we haven’t even ID’d yet.
These people are deeply unserious.
Signed, another economist who generally likes markets

Reminds me of that time I needed emergency appendectomy & I was on morphine & the hospital billing guy came to my room to ask me to pay the copay upfront
I was like dude I’m going next door to check the other hospital‘s price also what’s my name again
Ps I’m an economist, ok w/markets generally

Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Kalshi is now the "official prediction market" of CNN, which has already started to use prediction market odds as a substitute for actual polling. I think this is a very bad idea. CNN wouldn't confirm the payment relationship between the parties when I asked, but more here: slate.com/technology/2...
CNN Is Using an Election Polling Tool That Anyone Can Rig
The network is giving Kalshi, a volatile and easily gamed prediction market, authority it once reserved for actual polling.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

It feels like half my neighborhood has decided shoveling the sidewalk is optional this year. It’s going to be a LONG winter.

It’s not uncommon to see elderly people walking in the street in WFB. It’s clear what our priorities really are here.

comically easy solution (companies who sponsor bowl games directly pay players for participation + team payouts for appearing in bowls go directly to players)

The bowls are dying, and bowl eligible teams opting out of playing in them are just the latest symptom

Notre Dame's CFP opt-out is further proof bowl games won't last much longer
Teams opting out of bowl games is another symptom of a fatal disease killing the bowl system

My semi-regular reminder that it would also be financially transformative, for the household AND the city.
If a large portion of households went down from two cars to one car, it would be transformative for walking, biking, and transit in the city

Why does @realDonaldTrump lie?
He claims that he is bringing in so much import tax money (tariffs) that income taxes will go away.
You have paid $259B in tariffs, not the trillions Little Donnie claims.
$259B can't replace $2.5T in income taxes.
Even that dolt can do that math.
