Many people see themselves as only getting a finite number of large raises in their lifetime. Large inflation spikes take away the benefits of one those raises. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
Some have mentioned unresolved COVID trauma to explain that phenomenon and I remain skeptical.
Personally, I'm a partisan of the "it's just inflation" theory. Human beings seem to love Ze Price Stabilité more than life itself, and appear willing sacrifice *anything* to achieve it.

The biggest blackpill for me was a poll that found that, despite Trump's abysmal approvals and Dems cleaning house lately, an hypothetical 2024 rematch would still be a tossup. The insane reality is that a majority of US voters really experienced the Biden years as some kind of epochal catastrophe!

I actually agree with Will here.
The housing crisis is concentrated in a few specific metros. These are specifically the handful of cities that won the Obama economy when job growth was extremely uneven across geography.
YIMBY is about correcting one of many imbalances created during the 2010s.

Again, unlike almost anyone else in this discussion, I have actually looked at this nationwide at the metro level. I have a pretty good sense of how metros differ here. San Francisco is weird. LA is weird. New York is weird. Boston is weird. There are many more places that aren’t like that.

Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Your instinct is to dunk but don't, learn instead. If you hate AI/crypto, understand that this quoted attitude is how Democratic policymakers understood their role in enabling everything about tech that you dislike. They truly believe that reckless speculation is foundational to funding good stuff.
“It’s not that I’m for austerity, it’s just that I’m against bailing out AI, crypto, private assets/university endowments, and I’m fine with canceled Thanksgiving flights and missed paychecks as long as Republicans take the blame for it.”

Everybody in the West lives on labor arbitrage with poorer countries, virtually nobody in the U.S. could afford their current lifestyle without that labor arbitrage, but only some post to brag as if they would never partake in global trade in goods and services.
If you have $20k + $500/month to burn and would like your house to be cleaner maybe just pay someone a fair wage to come clean your house occasionally?
Pay $500/month&request on phone app a task to be done-human virtually in your house teleops robot-sometimes succeeds. "In reality, projects like Tesla’s Optimus or 1X’s NEO are less about practical consumer robotics and more about cashing in off of technological hype." futurism.com/future-socie...

Transplants develop these opinions because they see they are extremely popular among nonwhite NYC residents, so dunking on them has no effect because nobody on the left ever dunks on a nonwhite person with the exact same opinions

Only the GOAT could call a gerrymandering initiative "voters picking their representatives" and receive unwavering support
Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

The current uptrend in Gold prices began in earnest in late '23/early '24 when it was clear that U.S. interest rates were higher-for-longer but fiscal policy wouldn't be adjusted.
Naturally we spent 0% of the 2024 campaign talking about this brewing crisis of confidence

Currency devaluation is unpopular and we did it on purpose through stimulus. and by the time it was clear we had done it it was too late to fix it.
Also every municipality used stimmy money differently. Some blew the money, some lowered taxes, some sat on it. Genuinely divergent experiences

No inflation was actually high and once prices are up and interest rates are up people simply do not appreciate prices rising less steep.

Deranged right wing discourse has produced no art. Deranged left wing discourse led to a new off broadway musical that just extended its run.
The most interesting insane deranged right wing discourse you get is like “are Finns just snow Jews?” meanwhile “does ACAB include Ms.Frizzle?” is like a replacement level topic in lefty circles

New Yorkers demand class segregation at all levels of class.
So if I'm understanding the situation properly, these things are basically new SROs? And people are arguing they're harbingers of gentrification? Luxury SROs are going to gentrify the neighborhood? Do I have that right? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Tiny co-living spaces are popping up across New York. Local communities see them as ‘harbingers of gentrification’
Such properties are a housing alternative for younger people, but longterm residents worry about being priced out of their homes and losing community

Most people don't know that "which way, western man?" Is from a white nationalist book. "Infamous" to whom?
Most people don't know that the "-slop" suffix comes from "zogslop" and "goyslop", antisemitic 4chan phrases.

One of America's top religion journals uses the title of an infamous white nationalist book to ask whether a dead fascist dictator or Bari Weiss represents a better model for the leader of their Christian conservative political alliance.
