We also had months of discourse over burrito delivery being too expensive because it required paying workers too much for the delivery. We were told that it was a calamity that justified replacing Biden with a fascist and also that it was ablest to say that people can get their food other ways.
Sorry I’m a bit confused here: companies should not be able to pay people a minimum wage but also should not be able to automate services that could only be provided at a minimum wage?
Nah I just think they shouldn't be allowed to operate on paying their workers a starvation wage and trying to get around that by putting boxes on wheels on the pavement is a danger to people, particularly wheelchair users

Indeed. Even the non sexism/racism criticism of Trump is muted now. This Barro article *literally* convinced me to register as a Democrat (I'd never been a member of a party) with it's blistering take on the GOP. Has he written anything like this in the last five years? I'd love to see it if he has.
Why I left the Republican Party to become a Democrat
Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are examples of the reasons I left the Republican Party.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

When Kayne came to visit him we were lectured about how the two of them were going to forge a new axis of politics. No! They were just assholes made to feel important by the other one.
I find it eternally frustrating: Trump’s behavior is just the product of some very transparent, very disordered inner psychology. But for some reason that psychology is mostly taboo in the realm of political commentary; we have to pretend he has “beliefs” and “policy goals.” I assure you he does not

I mean this question has just been answered, is the thing. It's answered in the abstract realm of public opinion polling. It's answered in the tangible reality of actual housing choices.
People keep saying "Ah, but has it REALLY been answered?! Do we REALLY know?!?" And, yes! It has! We do!

Democrats have levers to stop some of this stuff. The settlement bribes can be prosecuted under state law today. They can threaten committee investigations. But they're going to just sit by helplessly and then wonder in a year why their coverage is unfavorable. It's not just that they're feckless 1/
What's especially galling is that half these billionaires think Trump is an imbecile - they just are incapable of holding any personal values or principles beyond "powerful man good"
As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN
And they are all Trump supporters
"Liberal media" indeed

More than anything else, powerful men - like the ones who run the NYT - believe in the legitimacy of power itself. Because if it isn’t legitimate, they have to start asking hard questions about the world and themselves.
