by age 30 your circle of friends should be standing on the banks of the hyphasis river having conquered the achaemenid empire and much of the known world
By age 30, your circle of friends should be talking about their favorite books and podcasts rather than their favorite shows on Netflix.

remember how the virginia democrats wanted to amend the state constitution to gerrymander congressional districts to win 2 seats just in case that mattered?

No, retirees should **not** have average incomes! They don't need it!! Their home should be paid off, they aren't raising children, and they no longer have to save for retirement! Let alone the impossible mathematics of giving non-workers an average income.
I'm not entirely sure that I think it's outrageous for people who have worked all their lives and educated you and worked to build the country you inherit to have a more or less average income in retirement.

okay let the landlord evict people for nonpayment without going to court then
Every year, thousands of DC residents lose their homes over unpaid rent. Most owe less than $5,000. Going to court is stressful for tenants, expensive for landlords, and slows down the system. We need a better way to resolve rent issues. 🧵⬇️

What I hate about the term "NIMBY" is it's not in your backyard. It was never in your backyard. It's in somebody else's backyard. Nobody is building anything in your backyard. That doesn't happen.

If NIMBYs were only objecting to things in their backyard I'd be fine with them! I don't want other people building stuff in my backyard either. It's MY backyard! I paid money for it! I didn't pay for my neighbor's backyard. It belongs to him. He can do what he wants with it.

When you reassemble this thread, Pangram rates it as 100% AI-generated.
Barely two months ago, we lost Professor Jason Arday. Thousands grieved. Institutions across higher education spoke about inclusion and belonging. Now Nathan Cofnas is being given a room at Oriel College, Oxford, to ask whether DEI is undermining higher education. 🧵

Whenever people start going on about animal rights like we’re having to hear so much about in DC right now I have an experience I imagine like people have with strident pro-life activism, which is, I have no obligation to entertain your metaphysical beliefs and I don’t find them very interesting.

Good afternoon, especially to Indian Americans with 750+ on the Math SAT and/or strongly productive jobs in the tech sector! Thank you for your contributions to the US, especially as measured by your deservedly high market incomes! 🫡🇺🇸🕉️

He is so close to getting how the mere threat of bad policy can cause permanent damage
Replying to @gabriel_zucman
Hence their result: Because billionaires leave forever, the state of California loses an infinite stream of income tax revenue. But because the dreaded annual wealth tax never materializes, the state gains nothing in revenue (beyond the one-time tax). This is what delivers their net loss of nearly $40 billion.

"the Tribunal determined the open market rent was" ...
This Labour government’s transformative Renters’ Rights Act empowers private renters to challenge unreasonable rent increases. If a tenant believes a proposed rent increase is above the open-market rent, they can refer the matter to the First-tier Tribunal. In a recent case in Manchester where the Landlord proposed an increase in rent from £1,650 per calendar month to £1,700, the Tribunal determined the open market rent was actually £1,450 per calendar month. We’re standing up for renters and our reforms are working. gov.uk/residential-property-…

Last thing you hear before entering another decade of economic stagnation: "GDP is just a monetary valuation."
French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon: Gross domestic product. I dig a hole, GDP goes up. I fill it in, GDP goes up. I get into my car, drive into a wall, GDP goes up because we have to rebuild the wall and repair the car. GDP is just a monetary valuation.

The number of people telling me there are no jobs outside of the new york city metro area is startling.
There are lots of cheap places to live in this country, and it would make sense for people who cannot afford rent in new york city to be displaced to those places.

Honestly though the people whom this most applies to do not have jobs. For instance people who are in subsidized or public housing occupying valuable real estate that could be occupied by productive people should have to move from Navy Yard to PG County.

When we bought this house I thought I would need to swap these windowed cabinet doors out. After all, if you can see into the cabinets, you have to keep them tidy. But in fact that is not true. There is no law, and I can easily see where everything is. Now I love them.

Kitchens are a place where work happens. They are for cooking in, not looking at, and the windowed cabinets rock for being able to find shit.

I do eventually plan on redoing the upper cabinet run, so that they are taller and can hold more stuff (the soffits above them are empty), but I'm going to stick with windowed doors.

Effective Mathematics: instead of thinking about math directly, you go work in finance or something, make a bunch of money, and then spend that on tokens, asking the AI to solve some unsolved math problems
