My grounding principal is how much of the department of defense budget is this large social investment that would benefit and better all of us (nobody likes interacting with homelessness). $30bn annually seems better than anything they're doing.

And, depending on how young, and if you were Boynton reader to your kids, you can expose them to the weirdly high production Boynton Christmas Album. Zooey Deschanel and Patrick Warburton just randomly singing some tunes

I think a lot of elite journalists have a similar ethical scandal in, "if X gets elected, then my source has a job". Nuzzi's situation is sleazier, but I think elite journalism stopped having ethical concerns decades ago.

The nice part is, if they succeed, we all benefit from having more people in the trades.
The output of having a bunch of self-important coders has mostly been cheap labor for horrible outcomes to enrich tech billionaires. I'd rather just have a nicely installed new furnace than

It's cool that we stopped caring about insider trading, but then also made anything that happens a stock market / gambling website.

Even if they are simply missing the point, they're missing it together and do not give a shit that you think it's funny that they're missing the point. They understand the iconography the way they want and it signals just as good as if the iconography really meant that

Though admittedly there may be a confounding factor of the fact that I went to a semi-rural school.

Eh, you were either lucky or we're splitting hairs on degrees. Definitely plenty of above average popular guys who were complete shitheels at my school. And plenty of very popular kids who were unintentional bullies in the "everything I do hits, so I don't care about reading social cues" way

Yeah, $6bn is a lot of money for the USPS to walk away from... but the expense that Amazon would incur to stand up an Amazon-only USPS is enormous. They don't have a leg to stand on and their best hope is basically someone in the Trump admin tells USPS to cut them a deal.

I would never want to read a book written by someone who thinks they could trap me for four hours at a dinner party, never stop talking, and walk away thinking that was a worthwhile experience for me.

It's 100% hardball negotiation. "We'll stand up our own unprofitable last mile service!" -- good luck, buddy, have fun with that.

They want to do the anti-immigrant part of populism without doing the actual anti-elite part which is not what anyone actually wants, except for Republicans who are already doing it and voting for it!

It's a gigantic wide open lane that people are begging for, but they're little pay pigs who can't bring themselves to make things awkward with the rich people who have their cell numbers

Correct. It's nice that for four years we have an FTC that is mildly more actionable against monopolies, but we need lasting action to de-escalate the growth, not just slow it down.
Microsoft bought Activision in 2023 and Bethesda in 2021, all under Biden! Dems are not stopping this!

Are you serious here? Lina Khan was very good, but her role was extremely limited. She wasn't "breaking up monopolies" because it was not within her power.
And sorry, Dems are absolutely terrible on the topic of busting up billionaires and their monopolies. They're piggies at the AI/Tech trough

She's an Editor at Vanity Fair. She owns a platform. All you're suggesting is letting her stop making a fool out of herself, so she can go back to inflicting her warped journalism on a major publication!

I would be a lot less despondent about our future as a country if our political actors seemed at all ready to do something about this rather than just interested in keeping their seats warm and getting little treats from the billionaires.
A very solvable problem, if a political party wants to!

Absolutely. And I'm going to nuke my comment, in my brain it was mostly a shot at Ohio still going +11 after that horrible shit but it obviously is just a "well what did you expect" type comment

I don't want to understate Batya, she's an idiot, but she gobbles it up because she just wants to live under an authoritarian nightmare regime. She dreams about it. Her life's purpose is "the King can kill us without thought or purpose"

Need an IBCK sub-series where you and Peter explain and dunk on a children's book in 12 minutes. A little treat for everyone, an easy lift to get out episodes, and an excuse for Peter to blow up Antiracist Baby.

The lack of a 15 minute walk is the actual problem in most places. A 15 minute walk gets me to a Starbucks --nice, but not gonna fill the fridge.
