The problem there was bullying doesn't work. Warren had no reason to end her campaign to help a doomed candidate whose supporters had been attacking her viciously.

My hatred for Warren and Donny makes me hardly objective when it comes to their relationships, but they're both train wrecks as far as I'm concerned.

It feels like they don't think they have time to take a break from the drama to build up relationships. Sienna and Cleo have similar problems. Rex and Ste are better, but could use work. I like Dodger and Theresa best because the conflict is external which allows them to grow closer during it.

It's frustrating when you look at the timelines and seeing how little time characters had to be happy between periods of strife and misery.

I always hate this phase where it is obvious they are rushing an exit. I feel like we can even tell which episode's script wasn't finalized when they made the decision based on when a bunch of characters suddenly change course.

Especially if the changes went back to 2015, a Sanders who understood and was good at party politics and coalition building would have acted differently in a lot of ways that would have lifted his ceiling significantly or enabled him to rally support for an alternative candidate.

Delusional as a Republican. Government services need money to pay for them and it isn't all going to come from and increasingly strict definition of what the rich are.

If Porter wants to reduce California's reliance on income taxes she should get on the Prop 13 repeal train lol

Good morning. Someone is always going to make money on housing.

Personally, I think it is better for developers to make money building new homes for people to live in than for landlords and homeowners to continue getting rich off of artificial housing scarcity.

MTS seems to have a lot of outdated confusing signage at Nobel bus stop saying things aren't running when they are.

Sometimes blustery, saber rattling language can all by itself be a war crime, if it’s the right person rattling the right saber.

Zero creepy reverends preaching social darwinism, so it holds up better than The Poiseiden Adventure.

It's wild the lies people will convince themselves of in order to support their belief that things are worse than ever.

It's still within living memory that more people had indoor plumbing than not in many areas.

The spoils of automation are responsible for the increased quality of life over the past decades and centuries. Automation definitely can be disruptive to those whose labor is replaced, but once people and society adjusts, it makes us better off overall.

I don't think most landlords can pass costs on because they're mostly already charging as much as they can.

(Although, those landlords who were charging below market rates are likely to respond to rising costs by raising them up to that level.)

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

A narrow tractor with poles hanging down to allow several young men to detassel corn while riding between the rows.

This image has long stuck with me because of how many people were still needed to do this job despite the additional automation.

The folk morality around housing type and tenure is very strange to me.

Corporations owning single family homes and renting them to tenants is Bad but them owning apartments is fine.

Rental apartments are for poor people, while condos are luxury gentrification boxes for rich yuppies. Nonsensical!

We chose to have more stuff instead. It's not that complicated.

It's messed up for her to equate nations stealing traditional lands from small farmers with me choosing to go to grad school while my grandpa chose to sell h his farm and retire comfortably.

The challenge for rural areas is that their economic activity is inherently capped by the value of the resources they can produce. Increasing wages requires automation to allow that value to be spread among a smaller number of people while the rest leave for cities.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

Tony, the problem isn't that he doesn't want to help Diane. The problem is that you came to the hospital alone without anything from Diane giving him permission to talk to you about her health.

I'm pretty sure anything that adds protein or fiber to a food is going to make it count as more processed despite allowing people to shift their diet away from sugar and fat.

"[M]oderate Democratic voters are fully in line with the growing economic populism in the party and actually want more of it. And on social issues, they aren’t as worried about a Democratic Party that strongly defends transgender people and abortion rights as many centrist pundits are."

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Small farms can be viable. The problem is that we have a lot of farms that only exist because of government support and could be better run if someone new came in.

It's a lot like how a restaurant can fail in a location and be replaced by a successful one.

Despite the media portrayal, a farmer is a business owner, not a laborer like those union workers.
