My 11 year old wants to know why, if everyone agrees prices are too high and they should go down, the president and congress can't just make prices go down. And I think she has backdoored her way into understanding a command economy.

Based on my research on equity in marketing exchange, this has long been my contention. You'll capture about 20% of the market going altruistically; if you want to pull the market, it has to be through self-interest appeal. (For better and for worse, this is how Elon cracked the EV market code.)

We are still paying airlines a 9/11 Security Fee. 1) what does it go to vis a vis TSA that TSA budgeting doesn't get? 2) what if it instead went to the $175 billion needed to decarbonize flight?

I feel like this is all but inevitable and if Biden is stalling on purpose to take the oxygen from Trump, boy, it might be the shrewdest political gamble of his career. Or, he's just a stubborn old man. In which case, it's a twofer.

After reading this, I'm not sure that-- after the hand-wringing about Biden dropping out and then the hand-wringing about who would replace him-- that it wouldn't be Harris. www.axios.com/2024/07/04/k...

MAGA is okay with pluralism only insofar as it serves White Christian supremacy. That's why you see DEI swapped for "MEI" among them; it's "merit" if you can, else you threaten the hegemonic power narrative.

Finally, someone addressing that it's the pluralism threat to White Christian Supremacy that drives these folks to overrun democracy with autocracy.

This was weird. Compellingly argued (eg, refutation of cointerarguments), but felt gross. But given the Right has tossed logic, honesty, and fairness out the window...

Watch, they are going to say that all of from November 2020-January 2021 was an official act and therefore, election denial is not a thing. And also, the eradication of ex post facto. Anyways, watch for the return of Rudy after his disbarrement is overturned.

Even when living in Montreal and majoring in political science and thinking I was going to remain there, folks would be infuriated I'd have opinions about Canadian politics (as Iraq and Afghanistan were going on). Anyways, Alberta would definitely explain a bit.

This amendment will probably go nowhere (given the Heritage Foundation) but at least Morelle isn't going quietly into that good night.

Contrast the fecklessness of Jared Golden with the courageousness of Joe Morelle.

If it's not going to be him by November (and that's questionable), he should be resigning for Harris to run as incumbent (and not confuse the voters when some states print ballots in early August and mail out in early September).
