(When a right-wing government does it, I think it's easier to see that "arbitrary cuts to flawed-but-important public services" is not a progressive solution to those flaws)

There's a good argument to be made that we got the persistent inflation of the late 70s because the Fed's failure to respond to the transitory inflation of the early 70s oil shock convinced everyone that the Fed didn't actually care about inflation that much.

Unlike a lot of things that people speculate about there is pretty strong empirical evidence that voters do care about inflation.

This is not very popularist but expanded legal immigration is the ultimate production enhancing reform for today’s supply constrained economy.

Wonder why this startup doesn't exist yet. I've talked to people trying to do fractional homeownership companies, don't know why they failed. Regulatory fragmentation?

How you might incentivize YIMBYism
If residents owned fungible shares in a citywide REIT, rather than the nonfungible land under a house, they’d be incentivized to recruit great people to the city at large.
Can test the concept in a new startup city first, backport if it works. https://t.co/yKLMp3W10c
