So an interesting question:
Suppose nominal downward wage stickiness is mostly psychological - people look at and know how much money they make
Now, if we replace checks with direct deposit so the numbers people are looking at most are prices, do we get more nominal upward price stickiness?

When I was a teenager it was $7-8 to see a movie, that’s $15-16 today. People are stuck on nominal prices

I buy the Cabaret theory of modern politics: current right wing politics was, once upon a time, a thing elites sold to rubes while merely pretending to believe themselves while they pursued wealth, but now the True Believers are actually in charge and acting on sincerely believed insane nonsense.

"the government should try, convict and then kill the secretary of defense for the crime he very obviously seems to have committed" seems like a radical thing to say, but -- no, it's not. it's the actual penalty for what pete hegseth, a man who ordered death squads to murder civilians, has done.

A left-NIMBY told me renters keep being renovicted so I asked how he deals with population growth and he said he opposes all developments that aren't affordable so I said it sounds like he’s just renovating old rental homes for rich people and then his tenants union started crying.

This is 100% reactionary of me, but when I see that Philly's Preservation Alliance is against a bill, it makes me 100% support it because these people have been strangling the city for little to no benefit for years to keep shitty old buildings up.

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

We really need to stop fetishizing the noble rurals and call it like it is. They built their own perfect right wing utopia and it killed their communities, their businesses and themselves.
To piggyback off of John's point (reposted), it's struck me lately how the baseline level of friendliness in cities has always seemed remarkably higher than the suburbs or rural areas to me, and I think it's because everyone is used to interacting with strangers as a routine part of their day

Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout

A lesson of *hand waves* everything is that voters are extremely lenient with ideological projects as long as the fiscal house is in order.
