Yeah I'm a bit unclear on it. The proposal itself said that the land negotiations were to be settled after the principles were agreed on so I took it they just agreed with it in principle, but who knows what's actually in there at this point.

CES data for example shows majority-to-supermajority support for defunding the police across literally every income demographic in urban regions.

Yeah his little shots at leftists and the implicit claim that people on welfare don't work hard were the main things I disagreed with. Still, I think it's useful that he spells out an argument that a lot of leftists understand so intuitively that we often don't bother walking people through it.

The cost of living in the US has exploded since the 1960s in ways that ordinary metrics don't capture; as a result, even families that make six figures can live in serious economic precarity.

Returning the territory to Ukraine would be one thing, letting Russia annex it would be another, but leaving it in legal limbo is just the worst of all possible worlds and brings us right back to the conditions that led to 2022. How do people not see this?

It's so funny that would-be MAGA influencers in the US are having their careers posting America-first agitprop outsourced to troll farms in Mumbai

I think it's good reason to believe that these are trolls farms doing outsourced work for GOP dark money groups like the Rockridge Network. If it were happening organically you'd expect at least *some* liberal/left scammers moving into the market niche
