I wish I were kidding.
Imagine lecturing district court judges for not assuming the Texas Republican Party was full of honest public servants who sincerely have the best interests of their constituents at heart.

Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.
A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.
But the Supreme Court reversed it.
Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

By situating the Times as nobly filling the space between the diametrically opposed wants of the “left” and the “right” and suggesting that all of these critiques are ideologically motivated and are equally valid (or invalid), this misses the point of much of the criticism of the paper’s coverage.

Instead of telling pedestrians what to do if there's no crosswalk, push the city to improve infrastructure.
We design unsafe streets and then tell anyone not in a car to just deal with it.

Another way of putting it is that at some point, what were once discrete, chosen preferences become *culture* - the background habits and ways of thinking that are determined for you simply because you were born in a place. Do most Italians think Catholicism is true? Do most Japanese like sushi?

From this talk I learned that without the nearly immediate and complete end of emissions, the latest modeling shows that the tipping point will be crossed in 2050.
