The thing is that CPI and PCE try to account for better health care, especially for new drugs and devices.
If median wages are deflated with the inflation metrics, they haven’t looked great. Some methods can get more wage growth, but they’re non-obvious. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

From the book “Cadillac Desert“ on paying high water rates to fund an aqueduct.
There has long been a detachment of many farmers from just making arms-length market transactions without government help.

Homelessness has gone up but is flat compared to 2007 and lower as a percentage of population compared to 2007.
It’s real, but part of the solution is technocratic to get down the cost of building either market rate or government housing. That doesn’t fit in with the revolutionary ideas.

The web page could have been just a collection of static pages, but the explanations part has cross references based on cases which change. The changes could be on for the publishing end to make citations and such easier.

The test used a higher setpoint during occupancy, not using the same setpoint.
It also, I think, used a variable compressor benefiting from cube laws, which most homes with central air do not have. Similar comfort with higher temp only makes sense with variable compressors.

Some clarification: Total reserves were $30-50 billion without IOR, not $900bil. This was incredibly low given the trillions of FedWire payments each day. To accomplish these payments, the money center banks peaked at $200bil of daylight overdrafts. www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsyste...

As I understand Alito/Thomas, each prisoner needs particularized evidence that they will be interred indefinitely in the next day.
The evidence must be directly from the government. As here, evidence that government agents told prisoners they would be deported is hearsay. Oh, and no discovery.

I didn’t know about Schmitt a month ago and don’t know much about Schmitt now.
But, I found it absolutely fuckballs insane an avowed Nazi apparently got enough traction to have a lot of writing in legal circles, outside of just Vermeule. How? How is it possible to have “Schmitt specialists?”

It references 1182, with this exception for speech here. But it allows a “nah to 1st amendment” exception to the exception.
