Pretty persuasive argument from @MattBruenig that the big 2018 decline in child poverty is an artifice tax of a change in Census methodology rather than of CTC expansion or labor market trends.

One reason I'm not excited about the work-from-home revolution is that it comes at a time when other forms of face-to-face interaction have been in decline for decades. Church attendance is down. Youth sports participation is down. Union membership is down.

It also doesn't help that so many American metro areas are set up as elaborate systems of legalized tax evasion and school segregation.

Uncomfortable, but good point.

Russia's confirmed losses of tanks, artillery, and infantry vehicles appear to be going parabolic once again.

Now that Ethereum is energy-efficient, it's time to start taxing proof-of-work mining.

Students need to be able to make more mistakes.
A stress on getting 💯 on everything in school hurts learning & we may need to do more to encourage mistakes in class: "An unwarranted reluctance to engage with errors may have held back American education" annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/an…

OH NO!
Even in France, only 3% of kids now walk to school on their own. The Ministry of Interior warns:
“Make sure [your kid] is never alone. Have him accompanied by someone you trust."
I am so sorry our inability to tolerate risk has gone global!

The city's own economic analysis says gov't policies add $275k to the cost of building an apartment unit and $420k to the cost of a townhome. Unsubsidized housing is expensive in MV because the city makes it expensive.

This isn't a surprise, but it's still disappointing. @GavinNewsom took the coward's way out and signed the disastrous #CAKidsCode into law, fucking over the internet that helped build California's recent economy.

This thread is amazing partly for documenting the suspiciously well-timed trades that political spouses have made, and even more for the sheer ethical blindness that would lead anyone in DC to think this is okay.
