It's crazy how much federal tax receipts have increased from 2019. This is quarterly data, with the latest in 2022q3
Yes, it's adjusted for inflation!

Love to ascribe any and all societal problems to “capitalism” and forestall all attempts to fix them by insisting that the only real solution is its overthrow

if you’re in sf and like good things, you’d be negligent not to see @ImprovShakesCo at @SFSketchfest this weekend: sfsketchfest2023.sched.com/artist/the_imp… (some tickets still available) 🎭

Trying to reduce traffic by mandating more car parking is like trying to keep rats out of the pantry by dumping a bunch of food on the kitchen floor.

Always be skeptical when you see stuff like this. It turns out that:
1) all those scary sounding chemicals are not particularly scary
2) wind turbines actually do get recycled and
3) the amount of waste is tiny compared to coal ash and impacts are tiny vs burning fossil fuels https://t.co/q77s33i7bi

The legacy of wind turbines. Millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, containing poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonates. They cant be recycled so they are left to rot. #GreenEnergy https://t.co/N9a94oC0sa

Left-wing Democrats are ideologically committed to the view that increasing Black and Hispanic representation is good, which gives moderates this opportunity to bolster their power inside the coalition. https://t.co/5THSjMDbP9
Nate Silver @NateSilver538
This significantly increases the role of Black and Hispanic Democrats; it also increases the role of moderate Democrats since Black and Hispanic Democrats are on average more moderate than white Democrats. https://t.co/gLGS5ZdbPF
