I think this was a really bad year for American politics, a mediocre year for the American economy, and an exceptional year for America. In 12 months, you’ve got - the largest decline in murder rate ever recorded - huge declines in traffic fatalities, drug overdoses, and suicide - first ever personalized gene editing treatment and breakthroughs in HIV and cancer therapy - continued advances in GLP1 technology that seems to reduce weight and inflammation and a bunch of other stuff - declines in teen anxiety and despair - surge in self-driving car technology* - all this happened in a period when both the SP500 and inflation adjusted median wages hit record highs

@AliceFromQueens @lymanstoneky Don’t forget the massive regulations for AI that were also in the works.

No one remembers the timing of this but the real thing that turned on-the-fence VCs into extreme Trump lovers was high-ranking Democrats reviving talk about a federal wealth tax

@bendreyfuss Guilty as charged. Longstanding lumbar issues mean I have to keep my backside balanced while sitting. Side benefit is that I'm immune to pickpockets. And yes it took some getting used to.

Haha what lol Who carries their wallet in their front pocket?

@eigenrobot Suit yourself.

@bdoherty2 hmmmm they're new to me at least 🤔

@eigenrobot The date is misleading. They're several weeks old.

every time i am in the poor villages of this globe i am reminded of one important fact true absolute poverty is hateful to the human soul, a terrible oppression from which people almost uniformly yearn to be liberated with genuine desperation.

@Shane_maps The Making of the President 1968.

Can y’all give me your recommendations for the best book on the 1968 presidential election?

@ArmandDoma Thisclose to locking in SS and Medicare, but not yet guaranteed, therefore very hawkish on the debt.

why is Gen X so Trumpy

@ArmandDoma That's not the reason. She expects Kamala to lose and doesn't want the stink on her going into 2028.

I am bummed out Whitmer took herself out of the running for VP. Swing state governor, solid liberal who still appeals to independent voters, charismatic communicator. I refuse to believe America could not handle an all-woman ticket

Didn't surprise me. @habitburger is the best and I miss it here in TX. sfgate.com/food/article/c…

@cruelsardaukar I find they understand the past and its problems but their prescriptions are bunk. He covers Italian city states' entanglement with the Spanish, transition to financial engineering, and subsequent loss of dominance to the industry of the Dutch once they broke free of Spain.

@bdoherty2 Marxist historians are not people I expect to have reasonable explanations of why economic trends happened. What's something in the book that appeared to make sense to you?

I'd love to read a book trying to explain *how* Italy fumbled the lead it had in the 1300s

@liz_love_lace The obvious model is "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream."

i was recently disappointed to learn that the torment nexus is just a meme and there's no actual book called "don't build the torment nexus"
