OWS 2.0 hasn't happened because "we" gave up, very tired, and pretending this is over—when it isn't. Far from it.

I think if you read what I wrote, my preferred version of the Democratic Party would differ significantly from Republicans on abortion rights, taxes, the generosity of the welfare state, investment in clean energy, and several other issues I happen to think are important.

opposing abortion, asylum, and affirmative action, and supporting domestic drilling—he wants the democratic party to become the pre-trump republican party. drill baby drill https://t.co/w4YBOo3Hdp

To me the cycle where I say X and then instead of explaining why they disagree with X, people attribute some other much more extreme view to me and then take issue with the fake opinion is very frustrating.

Now that SB 330 has outlawed downzoning and it isnt cool anymore we're going to start seeing more lemon upzoning where purposely its written completely infeasibly but the density color on the map increases. HCD should crackdown on these or we need another state law.

San Francisco's Nov. 2022 election is shaping up to be a heckuva test of voter competence.
We're likely to have competing ballot measures from YIMBY and NIMBY factions--and the measures will *look* virtually identical. 1/9 https://t.co/AhBcOQuRug

It was originally a @dylanmatt joke, but with every passing month I get more and more convinced that “Police for America” (Teach for America but for cops, get it?) would be a good idea.

So if I'm clear on their timeline here, when it was not legal for him to buy guns, he didn't get them. And then when it was, he bought some and attacked an elementary school.
Too bad this doesn't offer any kind of hint as to what kind of policy solutions might make a difference.

Hypothesis — the Zoom Shock has led to a shift in business investment away from “office stuff” toward “remote work stuff” and that’s leading to a business investment undercount.

<-- Either corporate profits are being grossly overstated, the trade deficit is much wider than implied by customs data, or business investment is being severely undercounted. https://t.co/oS8HuCy66w

Starlink is Good, Actually. 150,000 Ukrainians use Starlink to use the web in spite of Russia actively targeting Ukraine's telecommunications infrastructure. I remember people claiming Starlink is a scam or pointless. These facts put that notion to rest. Megaconstellations good.
