Ok ❤️

(It's hard to get detailed info on wage x hours, but like 1/3 of renter households make <$35k.)

Sure, and I don't have the figures for Austin handy, but in many regions the typical renter household is at 50-60% of AMI (roughly 'Very Low Income' in the chart), and 1/5-1/4 are under 30% AMI (i.e. 'Extremely Low Income).

That is wonderful but also consider:

Agreed - looking at aggregate changes in rents rarely tells us what we need to know about affordability. A large segment of the workforce makes <$15/hr and struggles to get north of 30hrs/wk. I just don't think it's reasonable to expect the private market to meet those housing needs.

Del Toro is always a delight but that Lindo performance was *everything*

Exactly! It is a completely unserious proposal that no one with any knowledge of the topic would endorse. This is a recurring absurdity of these "merit" weirdos.

Donald Trump is literally president and these guys still bring this "pity me" bullshit here

I literally said I generally support camera-assisted traffic enforcement. I am also saying the surveillance concerns are real.

Is it resigning when it's been determined that you do not legally have your job

Sounds like this guy needed a little less tbh

I mean, that is what you would expect if economic marginalization mapped onto other forms of marginalization... Is it a coincidence then that socially and politically marginalized groups are vastly overrepresented in care occupations?

Interesting -- this also popped up on my feed recently, despite being from 2020.

Unfortunately eugenics and reproductive abuse has a long history in the US, predating any Nazi government.

I mean even from a purely mathematic perspective we actually don't need to win white men
