@menhguin @TeslaOnDiet you subhumans dont belong, Indians would never stand with Asians get a clue. they purposely pretend to be Asian when it benefits them and claim Indian when not. truly a bottom barrel scum race

Indian engineers in the US are one layoff away from packing their entire life into a single bag and leaving the country in 60 days. Of course they’re more compliant than their counterparts.

all Indian engineers would agree on this

@MinCorpPixel @Scott_dLB A better metaphor would be banning all types of food except Big Macs and milkshakes.

@Scott_dLB If food is a human right, would be banning specific kinds of food a violation of human rights?

Just once I would like to see someone who says "housing is a human right" take it to its logical conclusion that zoning laws preventing housing being built must therefore be a violation of human rights
Rev. Rae Huang@raeforla
Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

@liberalistorder @Noahpinion His administration strongly pushed the lie that Silicon Valley wasn’t “diverse” even though there is no data to support such an assertion. One can only come to the conclusion he hated White and Asian men.

A lot of people are going to learn that U.S. civil rights law forbids discrimination against white men
New York Magazine@NYMag
A white male New York ‘Times’ employee filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging the paper had discriminated against him by not giving him a promotion because he is a white male. On Tuesday, the EEOC, now controlled by a Trump appointee who has vowed to help wage the president’s war against DEI culture, filed a civil-rights lawsuit against the ‘Times’ arguing that the paper’s efforts to satisfy its diversity goals amounted to “unlawful employment practices.” The paper itself was first to break the news of the suit but did not name the employee who made the complaint. Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity, driven in part by bafflement that one of their own colleagues would sell out the paper to the administration, which has used tools of the federal government to attack the press. “This has been kind of a shitshow behind the scenes — people trying to figure out who the aggrieved person is,” said another ‘Times’ staffer. The release of the complaint on Tuesday narrowed the speculation to Bryant Rousseau, a senior editor and producer on the ‘Times’’s international desk who has been with the paper for more than a decade.

Traffic deaths have not gone down in any city where Waymo is operating. Zero lives have been saved.
That said, we will know in ~ 5-10 years if Waymo is better than the best human drivers (they only release data that compares them to the worst human drivers).

@ReneLacad You don't have the right to treat anyone at all like shit regardless of whether you have money or not.
English
Only reason women are leaving these men is because they’re acting like they’re Tate without Tate money.
Imagine your wife being tired after a 9 hour shift at work and coming home to a man smoking a cigar telling her to shut up.
Issue with the manosphere is it got too many average dudes thinking they have the right to treat women like shit.
Unless your girl doesn’t have to work. Gets to go on shopping sprees and fly first class. You’re in an average relationship. She will leave you. You are not a high value man.
She can find someone to replace you. Don’t be delusional. Just be happy.

People don’t realize how toast Seattle is because their median income is still high due to legacy corporations that opened in the city 20 years ago
Every major Seattle corporation is cutting jobs in Seattle to expand in the South and Seattle is pushing 6% unemployment

The thing is that Republicans are literally just right about everything they say regarding the incompetence of progressive Democrats There is not a single criticism the GOP makes about Portland, Seattle, and California which is incorrect. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

@SipOfKoKo Ignoring homeless people those 13% are living on a lot more than $30 a day if you include government benefits.
English
It is actually a travesty though that a nation as rich as the US is on par with nations as poor as France and Germany when it comes to what % we allow to live on <$30 a day. Like, come on.
Russ Greene@GreenPlusAnE
Only 11% of Chinese live on >$30 a day. Only 13% of Americans live on <$30 a day. But Josh here thinks China is a better model than America.

@GraveZeroUltra @WomanDefiner White people who do not care about the environment when they meet a person of another ethnicity that does not care about the environment.

@WomanDefiner The sooner people understand that it's really only white countries that care about the environment the sooner we can fix things

@lilbabygandhi I don't care if people do it but it shouldn't be a surprise that people think of it as weird. Just look at it.
English
There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”

@MarinoLinich @JesusFerna7026 Chile's average IQ is only slightly higher than Bolivia's yet it's far more developed.
English
@JesusFerna7026 The answer is obvious. Korea's human capital is higher, because of genetics and culture, with the former being more important. Preindustrial societies did not rely on IQ to the same degree.
English
A fundamental lesson from my posts these last two weeks on modernization, industrial policy, and development is that development economics should be about understanding why South Korea got rich but Bolivia did not.
The current field has largely given up on that question. Sharply identified RCTs on small micro programs are a fine way to publish in the AER and get tenure at a fancy university, but a profession that knows everything about microfinance impact evaluations and almost nothing about industrialization has misallocated its own intellectual capital on a pretty heroic scale.

@_asmodai @PaganTech @YIMBYLAND What makes your proposals any different from every other starry eyed DSA socialist elected to office in SF who thinks more support, higher budgets, and housing first policies will finally solve the homelessness crisis. I used to have sympathy when I lived in the suburbs.
English
@daytimename @PaganTech @YIMBYLAND This isn't theoretical. Other cities have had amazing results from housing first. We have the data.

Imagine being a working class person that depends on this stop in order to get to/from work to provide for their family.

@PaganTech @_asmodai @YIMBYLAND You're almost there.
A) What incentive does the SF gov't/nonprofits have to reduce homelessness? They stop getting paid
B) Giving these people homes does not solve the problem. 90% of SF homeless people are not the hardworking down on their luck types that would benefit from this
English
@daytimename @_asmodai @YIMBYLAND A 2 bedroom prefabricated home from China costs less than $10,000.
Based on the 2024 federally mandated Point-in-Time count, there were approximately 8,328 homeless individuals in San Fran.
So, for less than $84 million they could’ve permanently housed every homeless person!

@YIMBYLAND does your yimbyism extend to tiny house villages, subsidized public housing, homeless centers, and shelters?
if so, you're right: it doesn't need to be like this

@paulnovosad I think this is down to men liking math a lot more than women which carries over to this.

Wow.
Only a tiny set of elite schools send girls to elite math competitions, where as boys come from everywhere.
It's almost surely the case there are as many super-talented girls at these other schools who never get noticed.

A European-style Social Democracy requires 3 core values:
- Commitment to civic duty (respecting laws, taxes, & public spaces)
- Love of country
- Punishment for bad actors
American leftism defines itself in hostile opposition to these values which is why it will never succeed
