@mattyglesias The steelman would be Because capital gains taxes are not inflation adjusted, inflation ends up being a mild indirect wealth tax. Prices go up 10% your assets go up 10% you pay 1.5% of your portfolio in capital gains tax. The elderly are wealthy but politically popular.

Seniors don’t live on “fixed incomes,” this is a reference to a bygone world. It used to be: — Social Security had no inflation adjustment — Lots of private workers had COLAs in their contracts — More war bonds, less stock Today isn’t like that! slowboring.com/p/seniors-aren…

when the SSPX says that the Novus Ordo has an "intrinsic incapacity ... to form and edify souls" that's a skill issue tbh because my thriving parish with dozens of young families and crying babies and altar boys begs to differ

@MunicipleOrrery @simpsonryan32 While James Brooke might be the single most D&D figure in history, the East India Company with all its complexity seems hard to beat for the type of organization that should be in a campaign.

@that_one_mook I agree the paths that have led here are logical. But it is still funny. Particularly if one has reactionary traditionalists friends who due to them being reactionaries would condemn any opposition to the pizzle in art.

@EGennings with furries, there's little room for benefit of the doubt--even if one posts "anatomy" nonsexually, that's not how 90% the fandom would interpret it. something something giving occasion to stumble

@that_one_mook Things can totally make sense given the totality of circumstances, but still be funny. For me the fact that In heraldry, statues, etc conservatives are the defenders of pizzled or… anatomically correct depictions of animals meshes humorously with flipped contemporary stances.

@AnechoicMedia_ Also crop yields fluctuate. If you have a year where crop yields are 20% higher, local prices for that particular crop are going to lower and harvesting costs are going to be harder. So you shouldn’t hire extra labor to harvest. But over planting is great if crop yields are low.

Here's the basic lie behind "crops rotting in fields" for lack of immigrant labor, a recurring industry propaganda story. There are crops, such as these California strawberries, for which the dominant cost is labor-intensive harvesting, vs the planting and growing which is mechanized. Over-planting, then, gives growers a kind of option on future labor costs. When the harvest time market reaches equilibrium and the marginal picking crew is too expensive, operators point to the uneconomical remainder of the speculative investment as an unforeseen moral tragedy of an acute labor shortage causing a waste of precious food that was so near to the finish line.

I have yet to see an honest "who will pick the crops" argument. This LA Times opinion piece says ICE is causing crops to rot in the fields, and then criticizes bringing in more H-2A farmworkers, in nearly adjacent paragraphs!

@RulerofNV I think it is more that one in a hundred people are in the top 1% of curmudgeonlyness. Curmudgeons who are Catholic express this in religious ways and are disportionately likely to become trads.

♱Faith guard⚔️🛡@Defensofidei

Is the action taken by this bishop considered inappropriate? This situation is inappropriate. Yes, the Bishop is wrong, and here’s why: It is not suitable for a Catholic Cleric to engage in sports/play of any kind while fully vested, as liturgical vestments like the chasuble and stole are sacred symbols set apart for divine worship, not for secular use. Canon Law 1171 emphasizes the need for reverence toward sacred objects, and wearing them during sports risks causing scandal. It diminishes the significance of acting in persona Christi and treats the holy as common. While a priest may wear a cassock or clerical attire during recreation, vestments should be removed after Mass before engaging in any physical activity the sacred belongs at the altar.

Matthew Roth@MatthewJRoth·
In fact adults being confirmed alone shouldn’t be confirmed at Easter lest the baptismal character be lost Adults may be received at any appropriate time & pastors may ask for the faculty to confirm non-Catholics (some dioceses don’t grant it: these people are confirmed…
TLM Ryan 📊 ☧@TLM_Ryan

@breeadail @RealCandaceO Traditional rite of confirmation doesn’t revolve around Easter. I was confirmed in September of 2020. Yes we do pick and choose when to receive that sacrament that’s literally how a conversion works. Stop trying to play canon lawyer. It will not end well for you.

O God, who restore human nature to yet greater dignity than at its beginnings, look upon the amazing mystery of your loving kindness, and in those you have chosen to make new through the wonder of rebirth may you preserve the gifts of your enduring grace and blessing.

@foolishyangban @captgouda24 @vypir Capital would increase albeit in a weird way. Outside of a few niche cases, capital is only used 8 hours a day. If people were awake longer, capital would be used for more hours a day. So I would expect MPL to be constant for first order effects with conflicting 2nd order effects

I agree. Total hours worked would increase labour supply without a corresponding increase in capital, leading to MPL decline and hourly wage cuts. The magnitude dependent on how capital-intensive an industry is. Hourly wages would fall, no? Except for in industries with strong unionization locking in set compensation rates through collective agreements.

We need a crash effort to cure sleep. It’s appalling that we have to waste a third of our life insensate. If we were able to cut everyone’s sleep from 8 to 4 hours a night, this would be the equivalent of raising life expectancy from 80 to 100!

@gurueluke The latter task is crucial but also deeply difficult. Determining the impact of curriculum on narrow objective but less deep considerations is a difficult challenge. Selection effects swamp treatment effects. Thus very careful work is needed to distinguish them.

Exactly right. Reforming the academy will require simultaneously changes of heart in elite institutions, compelling alternative models, and constructive political pressure. These are not mutually exclusive.
Kayla Bartsch@BartschKayla

While I admire Prof. Corey as much as the next Christian humanist, her piece in @WSJFreeEx regarding @christopherrufo strikes me as utopic -- perhaps 20 years at Baylor has made the American academy seem more moderate than it really is? wsj.com/opinion/free-e…
