There is a lot of research on this. Learning about racism doesn't make white kids feel guilty. Here is what it does.

Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated how Dior is producing their handbags.

They found that the workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock.

Consumers pay $2,780 per bag.
The production of the bags costs Dior $57.

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

I don't have a strong preference on Biden because of how much uncertainty there is, but seeing stuff like this cross my path is going to kill me. I'm begging people to learn how parties work. You can't Aaron Sorkin your way out of this.

It cannot be stressed enough that adjusting the size of the Supreme Court in the 19th c. was a serious solution to serious concerns about how the Court functioned. As @earlymodjustice.bsky.social points out, reform often addressed imbalances. And these imbalances were often about REPRESENTATION. 1/

For about another week, partisan non-response bias means that Biden will be down in the polls. Then, they’ll revert to about where they were before the debate, and we’ll have a slew of breathless articles offering explanations as to how he turned it around.

Fund all the schools, all of the health services--all of the social infrastructure that would be funded with a proper tax system. Much better use of money than the plagiarism machines that are sucking up all of the money (and environmental resources) right now.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.
