The dam is breaking. The world's leading public health news organization is now reporting US driver violence as a public health crisis.

At this point I can only laugh through tears that the fear mongering and hate has been directed at the people who were actually the source of our progress. We get what we deserve
A federal program that deported 400,000 immigrants from 2008-2014 increased new-construction home prices by 16%, or $50k. This is net of reduced demand effects.

i wish i could have been in the room when they were brainstorming how to solve the housing crisis and someone raised their hand and said "what about 50 year mortgages?"

Last night my son said, under his breath, “it’s too bad Luka Doncic doesn’t play defense.” My work here is done.

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry.
The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

I do not think the average Trump voter would be surprised or repulsed if they found out Trump was a pedophile. There is no red line for him.

I wish that we’d have an honest infrastructure conversation which is the majority of people who drive a car are also watching a screen in their hand. We should build infrastructure based on this shared reality. We all know it.
Update - apparently a second light post has been mowed down? There's a bunch more broken glass in the bike lane

I would like to take this opportunity to get on the record and apologize: I had complained about how every single thing at the grocery store now costs five dollars more than it used to, but I had not seen the latest data from DoorDash's State of Local Commerce report, which disproves that.

The Luka trade was the exogenous shock that rattled me from my stupor and made me realize almost everyone in power in any field right now is literally, in the clinical sense, addicted to both gambling and attention, and doesn't give a single shit about anyone else. I was clearly not alone here.

Good riddance to Nico Harrison, the personification of everything that’s going on. Blew up something good because he didn’t understand it and it didn’t conform to his vision of toughness. One of the clearest pictures of Everyone Is 12 Now ever produced. Untold damage to my psyche. Enjoy podcasting.

I don’t want to hear a damn word about NBA viewership being down this year. The games are on 4 different platforms.

@profgalloway.com you gotta learn more about the grocery store issue. You say to give money to people that they can spend at Kroger. The issue is there is no Kroger in many areas. Zohran proposed 5 grocery stores. These would be in areas without other grocery options. What’s your issue with that?

Update: I’m grateful there’s lot of side streets that feel relatively safe in East. Would prefer to be on the corridor so I can get groceries and move more quickly but yolo. I still got to bike and that’s a lotto win every time
It would be *so* cool to be able to bike down Gallatin. Or main. Or really any north south connection in east.

Honestly this one tweet sort of perfectly illustrates the nationalization of all politics. People in Hopkinsville somewhat understandably think we’re all doing elections today because we’ve all been reading/hearing about the mayors race in NYC or whatever.
