Antivaxers have this unfounded idea that COVID-19 vaccines are leading to people "dying suddenly".
But in a study of individuals with heart failure, the highest death rate was in the unvaccinated group.

@mattyglesias Sec. 13002 of IIJA created the National Motor Vehicle Per-Mile User Fee Pilot. About two dozen states have done or are doing pilots. Virginia’s Mileage Choice program that began last year seems like a good approach to phasing in a permanent replacement for fuel tax road revenue.

In March 2020 we (myself included) worried that 🇺🇸 was going to lose job matches by relying on UI instead of furlough.
Didn't think that could actually be a good thing, which could beneficially disrupt the low wage labor market and make it more competitive.
Eric Levitz @EricLevitz
To keep people afloat during COVID, Europe paid firms to retain their employees while America tolerated mass layoffs then provided highly generous UI benefits.
Many criticized the latter approach, but it might have helped service-sector workers shift into better-paying sectors https://t.co/WX0MzlQBKe

A French architect suggested that we address homelessness by literally stopping all housing construction on the planet.
Rob Curley @RobJCurley
Fascinating talk hosted by @AAIarchitecture tonight.
Charlotte Malterre-Barthes calling for a global moratorium on new construction.
To paraphrase “what is being built is being built within economical logic by people that do not have the interests of the unhoused at heart.”
