Yes, and for an embarrassingly long time I was sometimes going without getting reimbursed just because I couldn’t handle all the paperwork. Fortunately for my financial life, I’ve gotten better at it/gotten support to help with all the forms…

It seems like it’s part of this massive effort to distract from the reality that overwhelming numbers of white Americans voted for Trump in November.
The shifts among other groups are noteworthy, I guess, but journalists should write about them in a way that doesn’t obscure the central story

Plus, the comparison of 2012 v. 2024 gives me pause. That was Obama v. Romney, much different candidates from Harris and Trump, not just because of messaging or policy.
The loss of a strong populist, big tent message is bad for Dems, but this stat gives a misleading impression, I think

I’m not strongly criticizing the underlying premise, but re: this finding—it’s not surprising because Republicans were already doing exceedingly well among white voters without a college degree. It’s not remarkable that Trump is making larger “gains” among these groups

I agree — it sounds like there was an extreme over correction here.
I was just trying to make note of the housing-related rationale behind the policies, which at least this screenshot of the article doesn’t seem to raise!

I’m not saying I support these policies because I don’t know enough in this specific context—but isn’t the goal to incentivize housing availability and affordability? I’m not sure if I’m ready to choose tourists over NYC residents (though obviously the city needs tourism, and balance is key)
