Miami (and other Sun Belt boom towns) will struggle to attract high income talent going forward due to 2 things:
1. Dearth of top notch private schools
2.Dearth of top notch country clubs
No one wants to give up a cushy lifestyle so they can spend 15 years on a club waitlist

Griffin with ‘06 vibes: “Miami. The playboys paradise. Pretty girls, fast cars…but that’s just a facade. The bridge separates South Beach from my Miami. The real Miami. The MI-YAYO” But for real: he’ll move lots of ops to FL but you just can’t get top-top talent to go there

@HamptonPrezcott He is disgusting. He openly brags about a bronze start metal which any officer during the gwot era would laugh at him for

Everyone is (rightfully) pointing out the Jussie Smollett nature of this story, but I went to college with a bunch of guys from MBA and I went to a private school with a very similar culture in another Sun Belt city, and this story wouldn’t have passed the smell test back in 2009

@ratlpolicy Why would anyone with an interest in preserving democracy want to rejoin the R party after watching what a train wreck it has been?
But trust me, as soon as you nominate another neocon they'll be right back on board.

Trumpism as a political coalition dies on January 20, 2029. It's entirely built around the man. You're not doing anything to end it. And in the process, you're aligning with socialists, Hamas supporters, & people who think murder is okay if the victim is a CEO.
Great plan, guys.
Andrew Egger@EggerDC
The Bulwark sees ending Trumpism as a viable political coalition as the more pressing goal, isn't nearly as concerned with keeping its "conservative media" credentials in good standing, and so is willing to enter a wider set of coalitions.

This is a cognizable position, to be fair. It's just one I reject.

@EsotericCD Who cares if the charges are bullshit, forcing them to spend millions of dollars and wasting their time to defend themselves is a good thing. A great thing, actually.

@ReubenR80027912 What punishment will they face? If they were to vote for a Republican like Youngkin they aren’t gonna get fired

I once lived in an 75% Biden school district & there was a proposal to redistrict the most affluent HS
The result was every euphemism under the sun in service of George Wallace results

@_JeanLannes Real americans live in the suburbs and they supported this.
English
@ReubenR80027912 It doesn’t really make sense there’s not really a punishment for voting Republican. Even then, you can just be quiet about who you vote for.
English
But the REAL black pill was if redistricting had passed, the most affluent (of the already affluent) would have done private school
Those who couldn’t, would have grumbled but never considered changing voting behavior
Intra-elite competition rules all

Reuben Rodriguez@ReubenR80027912
A million times yes. Intra elite competition is the driving force behind our descent into madness The logarithmic gap between *each* 1pt of top 5% incomes (e.g., 5%er vs 4 vs 3) results in a feeling of precarity that can only be managed by liberal status brinksmanship (1/2)

a nice example of how the closure of the straits-- which we have no strategy to reopen-- is making us poorer.
don't let war supporters lie to you and claim any of this was worth it. this was a stupid, disgusting, evil act that has accomplished nothing.

BBG: Airline passengers should brace for more aggravation in the next few months as carriers around the world deepen cancellations and ground planes to cope with stratospheric increases in jet-fuel prices. Dutch flag carrier KLM is the latest company to cut its schedule. Global capacity for May has been reduced by about 3 percentage points, with all but one of the 20 largest airlines slashing flights, according to data compiled by analytics firm Cirium Ltd. @AirEVthingTRNSP bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

as Colin Jost said, our guys keep on saying "we are holding all of the cards", but Iran is literally holding a strait.
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
The Iranians have provided us with a lot of information to learn from over the past 24 hours if we choose. What have I learned? About 24 hours ago, the foreign minister, the guy in the suit, declared the straits open with full passage. Last night, the IRGC, the guys with the guns, attacked a container ship and said the straits were closed. Here’s what I’ve learned: the guy in the suit is not in charge. It’s the guys with the guns who are in charge. They are the IRGC, who are the Iranian equivalent of the SS/gestapo – an important distinction. We miss this distinction at our own peril. I have all the confidence in the world that President Trump will not let this provocation go unchallenged and will continue to push for a quick resolution through diplomacy or otherwise ensuring that: -The United States and the world will control the Strait of Hormuz, not Iran -The over 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium that could be used to make a dirty bomb or quickly enriched to become weapons grade material is completely removed from Iran -The Iranian missile and drone program will be limited, their support for terrorist organizations will come to an end, and there will never ever be a path in the future for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon by being allowed to enrich uranium. Like many other countries, Iran can have peaceful nuclear power but no enrichment. How this conflict ends will determine the stability of the region and the world for decades to come. Due to President Trump’s strong leadership through imposing the blockade and our brilliant military, over time, we have all the cards. foxnews.com/live-news/trum…

@SwannMarcus89 They would never do a deportation in Europe, that’s inhumane. Just think what the pope might say.

I fell down a rabbit hole of the dumbest liberals I’ve ever seen thinking they “fled the US” because they got tourist visas and flew to another country and think they can just choose not to come back
If you’re on a visitor’s visa, you’re not an expat - you’re a tourist whose vacation depends on when they decide to deport you

Just on a quick note, main audience is not young Americans, but Latinos, South and Southeast asians, and Arabs.
They look at Sneako and see themselves in him; a haitian filipino dude who identify himself as muslim, speaking perfect internet native american english + having "professors" with him. That grants him the status of someone that deserves the attention.
It's a well designed "authoritative" supranational product that makes them watch and think: "Wow, this is real. This is really happening. America is falling, and we are winning, even this American dude, backed by "specialists" on the matter (who btw just regurgitate critical theory and keep pushing a rethoric that was shoved into them in marxist universities and secular catholic schooling), are saying it"
Very obvious to anyone with experience in those intra-regional dynamics.

@petespiliakos @varadmehta I’m not really sure how it’s quagmire seeing how it’s still ongoing. Unless that old criticism of the pre Trump conservatives is true that they will sell out everything for a tax cut or cheap gas

@coolappleagain @varadmehta So you're fine with Middle East quagmire as long as they are MAGA. Got it. Fair enough.

Ezra Klein is so funny because he doesn't say a word that isn't precleared with his group chat and if they told him to publicly sacrifice a puppy he would 100% do it and write a pompous column about how it's a tough choice and then flip-flop when the chat vibe shifted.

@petespiliakos @varadmehta What was Jeb‘s policy and immigration? Or good old Paul Ryan’s view on immigration or crt

@coolappleagain @varadmehta The strait of Hormuz was open. Though they did get unnecessarily involved in a Middle East war. Trump wouldn't do that tho.
English
@petespiliakos @varadmehta If you’re comparing the Iraq war which costed over 2,000 casualties and led to the rise of Iran controlled militias in Iraq (ask about Iran‘s influence in Iraq from anybody that served in army during the GWOT era) to a month long super effective bombing campaign….
