The big problem with this analysis is that he is defining poverty as anyone below average, because he's building up his definition based on national averages.
His general complaint that the poverty level is poorly defined for life in 2025 seems sound, though.

Fantastic stuff. Have you also looked at this data using more granular polities (congressional district, or even precinct level)? It seems like this polarization would be much more pronounced if the red areas of blue states didn't get lumped in with the blue areas (and vice versa).

Could be whatever address is assigned to the modem* by the ISP of the office who was in charge of figuring out the coords. If they came from a mobile device its going to be low precision location depending on what the building is doing to the GPS signals, right?

ok, took me a bit to track down the brand, but let no one say I am a gatekeeper: this is the bucatini (and chitarra, perhaps more than the bucatini) we have enjoyed www.pastificiomasciarelli.it

I can't think of anyone who seems more likely, but thats gonna be a 'hold your nose and vote' situation even for the kind of people who vote in republican primaries. Just completely unlikeable and transparently fake.

triscuits and cheese slices. a little bit of fat and protein so you eventually feel satiated b/w don't have the sugar high->crash, and it doesn't get your fingers all powdery like chips et al. cured meats to take it up a notch.

C+S is definitely quality (and perhaps relevant info for my previous comment: within walking distance for me). Same people behind pizza plus in south & west philly if you happen to be in one of those areas and familiar. Tough for me because I do like Del Rossi's better but it has to be delivered.

Del Rossi's is marginally better, but so long as Circles + Squares never gets a Bib Gourmand I'm safe when I have a craving.

Patrick threw you and Wendell under the bus in that second picture. You two look more grumpy than angry, but he's not even trying!

My wife, who grew up across the river, remembers "sparkly air" from her childhood in the late 80s! Similarly, every Philly neighborhood remembers how their grandmothers swept their steps every day, but they don't remember why she had to do it.
