@YimbyA @BitecoferStan No, wages can increase in real terms. Inflation can be negative and real wages can still rise. Inflation can be 1% and real wages can increase 3%. Wages are but one component in costs for goods and services.

@eli_wilson04 Look at Argentina! Massive cuts. It didn’t lead to recession. It led to growth and lower inflation.

@ReichlinMelnick Pretty sure God tried to have mercy on us but we didn't learn so now God is getting back to his Old Testament roots.

@PippengerHarlo Maybe its different in Ca, but where I live staff is hired by a City Manager appointed by electeds. Significant zoning changes are voted on by those electeds. We have thousands of voters, while the folks who show up at a hearing are at most a few dozen.

YIMBY removal of community involvement is anti-democratic. not commenting on if its good or bad but it is objectively removing democratic control in favor of either private capital or largely unelected state bureaucrats

This is lowkey an argument in favor of local zoning control. You don't see why X zoning is good. Other people in your neighborhood do. Let them have a say through some organized process. If its very important to you, find a community with like minded front lawn opinionated people...

There isn't really one Twitter. There are many, from Sports Twitter to Swiftie Twitter. "English-speaking left-leaning political Twitter" is just a small subset of what makes Twitter, and its diminishment isn't enough to diminish the broader platform. twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg…

No social media platform needs to be a "Twitter replacement" to succeed, but this is definitely not what a Twitter replacement looks like:
