Quantitative urbanism / quantitative finance. "It was in any case on his finger."

Some questioning the validity here. It’s anecdotal, from my colleague. I joined the news reporters’ union in Springfield, Ohio, a mid-size market, in 2010. My colleague had started in ~1971. He asked what they offered me. $27K. He said that was his starting offer—in real dollars

In 1971, people in their ***first year out of college*** who landed in any random office got paid $100 an hour in 2026 dollars.
I shit you not. $27,500 was the standard annual offer for entry level office jobs in 1971. That’s $208,000 a year today.

Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. Y’all, that’s the price of a LATTE nowadays. It’s not radical to believe an hour of work is worth more than a latte.

@TaylorTwellman @NERevolution @MLS Porter has 2 Cups and Coach of the Year. I don’t think he’s the reason for the poor performance

In the past 2 seasons: @NERevolution have the 4th fewest points in @MLS, worst goal difference, 4th most goals allowed, 3rd fewest goals scored. #MLS
New England Revolution@NERevolution
The New England Revolution parted ways with Head Coach Caleb Porter. Assistant Coach Pablo Moreira will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. #NERevs

@TheFirstRandy I think this is actually multiple dumb things about MLS, all rolled up together.

The permanent committee of Mission to North America has provided a statement to byFaith regarding its coordinator, TE Irwyn Ince. ow.ly/kBXh50WVozF

I am reminded again as to how 1600s - 1800s Japanese artists depicted the Portuguese, Dutchmen, and White Americans. There's one consistent trait that immediately stands out

Great to have a review of the Review of Presbytery Records. Chapter 40 in our BCO is a great part of our Presbyterian polity.

Trying to think of major American cities where the wealthy side of town is to the South of the city. Kansas City? Nashville?

@michael_kove @DanielLockyer I don’t find the headline misleading at all. You should train yourself not to jump to conclusions.
English
@DanielLockyer The title is misleading.
It's because of manufacturing contamination.
They will glass bottle it, but plastic pipes run the pump, plastic container holds it prior to bottling and plastic lid will shed.
I read it this morning, had the same reaction.

@DryerCombo @deleteduser9595 @trash_ebooks Ok, I read the subreddit for you and offered you the context you sought.

@UrbanPat @deleteduser9595 @trash_ebooks Im not reading the subreddit, I looked at 4 pictures that OP posted.

@MattZeitlin It's an absurd contradiction to the framers' clear intention to set Congress as the primary democratic institution presiding over the other branches.
English
I’m not a constitutional scholar but the idea that Congress and the White House can’t set up an independent agency with senate confirmed boards but can delegate the literally in the constitution tariff power to the White House to be exercised on purely discretionary basis is odd
English
@elerianm @LizClaman @FoxBusiness @ClamanCountdown "Powell should resign to protect the independence of the Fed" is absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
