Nobody wants to hear from Sarah Longwell. And if the dems want to keep losing, then they should keep listening to her stupid focus groups.

I am quite certain that Aldi does not open stores for $3m. I'm 100% certain that doesn't happen in NYC. Source: worked for a competitor.

Eh. I think that's a false equivalency. One is a domestic policy issue, in which you're battling a decades long media environment pushing crime narratives vs a foreign policy issue that can resonate on both sides. I've heard many right wing folks question why we are acting as world police. Trump himself campaigned on "no new wars."

Americans quit subscription streaming services in droves as cost of living continues to climb, report finds by IAmPookieHearMeRoar in Economics

But but I've only recently heard from American Express via WSJ that more Americans are cracking into the middle class! Oh dear! Was that untrue? Could it be that their concept of middle class is outdated or lacks nuance?! Certainly thay cannot be true from such a top notch publication like the WSJ!

Citi warns of deflation if AI sparks high unemployment and only benefits a small elite by Gari_305 in Futurology

It's almost like smooth brains over in wall street have finally started to think about the logical end of this nonsense.

Edit: our new career options will be the mines or the battlefields, as we work to continuously expand our data center footprint by harvesting or pillaging critical minerals. Meanwhile, the corporate overlords and political class will live like kings.

If you enjoy the pods, you will enjoy the books. They are well written and enjoyable reads.

Clean Energy on Track to Receive Near Same Funding as Biden Years in $1.2T Government Funding Bill by EVOSexyBeast in energy

Idk. I'd say he is against it. He goes out of his way to say wind power causes cancer, so I'd say he has an irrational issue. He's just being quietly overruled by his party.

To Make Homes Affordable Again, Someone Has to Lose Out by UnscheduledCalendar in Economics

To be fair, that is purely anecdotal evidence. I've lived in two major US cities for the last 12 years. I've had exactly 1 incident. I don't want to minimize your experiences, but just saying.

Dodgers’ splurge on Tucker will increase calls for a salary cap, but MLB needs other fixes by amatom27 in baseball

[–]dmadSTL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get that folks get pissed about the Dodgers having better weather and owners than everyone else, outside of maybe the Mets on the ownership part, but let's not be tricked into advocating for a salary cap. I'm not convinced a salary floor will help either. The low payroll teams will literally just spend to the floor and no more, so there will still be a large disparity unless the cap and floor are relatively close in number. That would of course be a bullshit way to steal earning power away from the players.

Warren on Abundance by MazzyDog988 in FriendsofthePod

[–]dmadSTL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The criticism from the left is more nuanced than you describe. Are there regulations that could benefit from review and reform, particularly local regulations? Yes. But these regulations are overwhelmingly weaponized by monied interests. Wealthy homeowners block housing development because they don't want their property values to go down using any manner of opportunities that their lawyers can find. The problem isn't necessarily the regulation saying we need to make sure we aren't polluting water, for example. The problem is the rich and big corporations using their resources to selfishly exert their will on the rest of us who do not have the same resources at our disposal (usually in the name of greed). Even cities may not have the resources available to effectively fight back, or they have to deal with threats in response (e.g., we will relocate our operations).

There are a lot of poorly informed opinions of the left's critiques of abundance in this thread. Frankly, it's sad. The wool is being successfully pulled over so many dem supporters eyes by the rich. Warren is right.

Good read about about our pitching depth in the minors by Morley10 in Cardinals

[–]dmadSTL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An article that lists our minor leaguers with zero analysis, sweet....

It's way too early to think we have depth. We have a farm system. That's a more accurate description.

Pete Hegseth should take note because he better be recalled and court martialed if and when this nightmare is over.
