and then you get to the valid points people make about it: "men have no money" "they are lonely" and it's like, oh, right, those things are happening to everybody, not just men. how have we ended up gendering the fallout from the economic crisis?

it's sort of like saying "if there's ubi for everyone then rich people will take money they don't need" to which my response is: there are a lot more poor people
The fear of someone's life being made moderately easier by accident has prevented us from making a lot of peoples lives livable on purpose.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

The Trump regime may have stopped BLS monthly job reports to hide bad numbers, but can’t hide the job market from the public.
Vibes might be able to convince people the job market is worse than it really is, but it’s very hard to sell the idea that the job market is much better than it really is.

Catherine Rampell: Americans' views of the job market are the most negative Gallup has recorded since the closing days of Trump’s first term, in January 2021 during the pandemic.

The media and especially he new york times blared about an impending recession during 200 out of 208 weeks under biden. Bloomberg in Oct 2022 claimed it was 100% certain. There’s not a peep from these chuds now
It’s only a recession if it comes from the Democratic region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling Republican mass layoffs and crushing inflation.
Behold the greatest economy in the history of the world

This is 100% true. A guy paid a million dollars JUST to write the first book about it. Techbros were absolutely convinced it was world-changing.
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

People who save lives should not be criminalized
European governments are not only failing people seeking protection, they’re also punishing those who try to fill that dangerous gap.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
