Regarding the DoorDash discourse, I think people are a bit overconfident in their reading of BLS data. Here's the survey from 1996. Notice it doesn't mention takeout or restaurant delivery at all; the only reference to delivery is actually for food at home:

The D.C. National Guard deployment would have a 100 percent approval rating if they shoveled the damn snow

Talking to 21 billionaires about a tax proposal, and getting not a single one to be quoted by name, is almost impressive—the journalistic equivalent of Houston missing 27 three-pointers in a row against Golden State

The anti-woke outrage at the Sinners nominations would be more compelling if the previous record-holder hadn't been La-La Land, another movie that nobody actually likes, but a super-white one.

Interestingly, Vance's biggest champion at Yale Law School was Amy Chua, who was known specifically for mentoring minority and first-generation students—helping them get jobs, clerkships, or, in Vance's case, book deals that would set them on the path to the Vice Presidency

A lot of people think "DEI" is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games. In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men. This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences: compactmag.com/article/the-lo…

Riveting @PirateWires story about a guy who was radicalized by 9/11 because, as we all know, everyone defended Al-Qaeda at the time

I don't think people realize how much the use of academic disability accommodations has exploded over the past decade—and the trend is driven overwhelmingly by the most selective schools:

@jonathanchait Thank you. Now I feel bad about insulting J.J. McCarthy

Excellent @GiladEdelman piece on Brendan Carr's specific plans to force TV to be Trumpier theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…

I am not disagreeing with this, just noting that this type of thing — making arguments about policy based on how business entities will react to it — is generally classified as "Economics," but when you do the same thing for voters, it's considered to be something separate.

4 (con't). IF developers expect that future politicians will put rent caps on existing units then they won't want to build as many new units today. Even if Neale & Bharat think they're temporary and include sunset clauses etc. there is lots of history of extending/expanding.

I might have missed it, but surprised that none of the participants in the stadium-beer-pricing debate have noted the fact that professional sports leagues are functional (and in the case of MLB, literal) state-sanctioned monopolies.
