No truer words: a stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet.
We all are on the same path. Its your job to find people on that same destination and connect with them. I try to be altruistic in this approach and bring everyone the people they need to make it more fast and fun.

Every relationship is the opportunity to learn. Every person out there is interesting. Keep an open-minded approach to everyone you meet as someone you could potentially learn something from; be it a successful billionaire, a stranger in a coffee shop, or your Uber driver.

@knarcnifer Come now. We don't think that well of ourselves. Do we?

When you ask a humanities major for their thoughts on money problems. They go into hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt for a shitty degree and you want to ask THEM for advice?
sarah jeong@sarahjeong
all the stuff you see about inflation in the news is driven by rich people flipping their shit because their parasitic assets aren’t doing as well as they’d like and they’re scared that unemployment benefits + stimmy checks + 15 minimum wage + labor shortage is why ~jmt~

@Fatalisme_actif @mattyglesias What's your definition of structural?
English
@Fatalisme_actif @mattyglesias I NEVER SAID STRUCTURAL = HISTORY. You made that up in your head. Structural is the creation of knowledge and praxis around certain objects and not others. This then translates into certain modes of being around them. Yeah if you don't get it read some more. Sorry.

@DeanBaker13 $GS just came out with their transitory take too. It was a couple of days ago, but FYI. Credit Suisse too. If you want to know where inflation is going ask the people who manage large sums of money. They are nearly universal at this point: transitory.

I hate to ruin the victory lap of all the people boasting that Biden's recovery act would be inflationary, but the UK also had a big jump in inflation, with no big stimulus and a very inflation-vigilant central bank cnn.com/2021/11/17/eco…

@mattfurtney @Noahpinion Is that it? I'm slow with this stuff. Anything else?

I think this is going to be a bigger deal than people realize.

@SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @nkknspace @HomemDoEspacoBr @InfographicTony @cnunezimages @spacex360 Inter-satellite laser communications means Starlink can carry data at speed of light in vacuum all around Earth before touching ground. Over time, some amount of communication can simply be from one user terminal to another without touching the Internet.

@GhostofEdie @mattyglesias @nhannahjones "Gun violence also rose, with the number of shooting victims, both fatal and non-fatal, mid-year at 119...overall car break-ins are on the decline when compared to 11,391 reported mid-year in 2019, the data show...Aggravated assaults are down from 2019" sfexaminer.com/news/mid-year-…
English
@mattyglesias @nhannahjones In SF gun violence is up 100% from 2019. Arrests are down 50%. In Preston’s district, an attempted armed robbery ended when the victim wrested the gun away and shot the robber in the face. People are afraid. Hence the recall of the DA.

@eagle_karate @mattyglesias Jesus fuck. Foucault did not reject reason. Chomsky made that up, and straw personed Foucault into it. Foucault's response is much more careful. Read the debate. Also his writing never "rejects" reason.
English
@mattyglesias The article it is a very weird reading of Kant. It makes sense only if you view Foucault as an enlightenment figure, which is strange because he basically rejected reason.

@scottlincicome @ATabarrok Yeah, buying American Steel, giving workers a fair wage and protecting the environment are all stupid. You are so correct!!!!!! You superb amazing genius!! Bravo! Why aren't you President!

@timm0_ @DeanBaker13 Sole proprietorships don't require an LLC/registration with the state and make up ~70% of small biz; ~60%+ small biz are optimistic about business environment (Capital One Survey, drive.google.com/file/d/1TXDa3E…); Doordash/Lyft/Uber are all having trouble keeping workers
English
@DeanBaker13 Pump the brakes chester...
If there are spikes in things like registrations for businesses (LLC, et al), business insurance policies, biz loans, etc, then you can start chirping about "small biz!"
Far more likely 600K people are struggling to survive w/ doordash & lyft.

@WakeWestern @Noahpinion Does “playing offense” mean muzzling conservative media with government control? If not, what does it mean?
English
My question is: Who "let" this happen? What could they have done to prevent it? Who, other than conservatives, had this "idea"?
As long as there is a 1st amendment, conservatives will be able to get their message out there.
English
@Noahpinion Ev? You have 0 ev for this statement. That is the difference. Conservatives say explicitly we want absolute control; damn your rules. Dems say, like you are, we can't control anything bc our ideas are so good everyone will believe us. Stop playing bean bag. Start playing offense.
English
Anyway, if your answer to an election loss is "We need to find some way to control the media more, so the opposition just can't get its bullshit message out", I think you're probably setting yourself up for further election losses.

@KevinLevin Idk maybe black and brown people think the city likes to remember and commemorate how they would have been slaves? You seem like a smart person. Why ask this question this way?
