A lot of people seem fundamentally unable to imagine a world without freshly made lattes so they have to dream up a class of people who can afford to work for less than it costs to live.

The US labor force is a living, breathing map. 🇺🇸 Watch the number of counties with labor forces in structural decline spread like a virus across America between 2010 and 2025. Shout out to @JMBDaecius for the idea to do this. #Economics #LaborForce #Trends

For the first time in recorded history, there are more Americans moving to Europe than Europeans moving to the United States.

I will never understand how roads and highways can literally lose 10s of billions of dollars annually and no one would ever conclude that they “don’t have much of a use case”.

In Uno that means you are losing.

Literature is humanity’s longest conversation with itself about what it means to be alive. It has been going on for thousands of years. You are not late, you are not unqualified, you are not too much or too little or too broken. Pull up a chair. This conversation was always about you.

@jimmysoldout There was a time when renting made more sense because rents were so low (2005), now renting makes more sense again because mortgage rates are so high (after 2022). Give it a few years. There’s another recession just around the bend.
