Everyone is focusing on the fact that she was partying until 4 am, but I'm over here in awe of a country where their political leaders aren't a bunch of geriatrics still hashing out the grievance politics of the 1970s.

Latino public opinion โ pretty progressive on economics, interested in hearing more about anti-Hispanic racism, very optimistic and patriotic, and into law enforcement.

He's a mild-mannered U.S. senator
He's a mild-mannered German chancellor
When a wacky coincidence thrusts them together, they realize they can only save western democracy by trading places for a few days.

Automation has been happening for 50+ years. The reason we aren't all becoming unemployed is that we keep giving people more money and they use it to buy more stuff.

And just to be a little incendiary, I think progressives' failure to understand the Hispanic success story is that they've Twitter-angsted themselves into the belief that no one can move up and better themselves in America.
Wrong!

After WaPo and the Guardian created databases of people killed by police, the FBI announced they'd begin tracking the data themselves. 5 years later, those efforts may be abandoned because local police departments won't cooperate

Bank of America on real rates:
"10-year US real rates now -4.6%, a level in the past 200 years that has been associated with panics, inflations, wars & depression, and a level
today increasingly responsible for froth in crypto, commodities, and U.S. stocks."

Europe is obviously less auto-oriented than the United States, but I think people (or at least tweets) tend to exaggerate the extent of the difference.
Even in a very dense country like the Netherlands, most people drive to work.
