If presidencies were judged by short-term popularity, the Biden effort would look pretty bad. But that’s a terrible measure. First-term presidents almost always see their party get hammered in the midterm after their inauguration. That’s especially true if the president achieved big things. Michigan State political scientist Matt Grossmann looked at House popular vote trends since 1953. Often when presidents succeeded in passing major legislation — Republicans as well as Democrats — voters swung against the president’s party. Look, just to take a recent example, at how Obamacare preceded a Democratic shellacking in 2010. People distrust change. Success mobilizes opposition. It’s often only in retrospect that these policies become popular and even sacred. Presidents are judged by history, not the distraction and exhaustion of the moment. Did the person in the Oval Office address the core problem of the moment? The Biden administration passes that test. Sure, there have been failures — the shameful Afghanistan withdrawal, failing to renounce the excesses of the cultural left. But this administration will be judged by whether it reduced inequality, spread opportunity, created the material basis for greater national unity. It is doing that. My fear is not that Democrats lose the midterms — it will have totally been worth it. My fear is that Democrats in Congress will make fantastic policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit temporary to make budget numbers look good. If they do that the coming Republican majorities will simply let these policies expire. If that happens then all this will have been in vain. The Democrats will have squandered what has truly been a set of historic accomplishments. Voters may judge Democrats harshly next November, but if they act with strength history will judge them well.

CongoJack posted:All those ancient steles in the middle east are basically just posts. Same thing in Egypt. Ramses II post count was off the charts Now, when you had come, you spoke saying thus: ‘I will give good ingots to Gimil-Sin’; this you said to me when you had come, but you have not done it. You have offered bad ingots to my messenger, saying ‘If you will take it, take it; if you will not take it, go away.’ Who am I that you are treating me in this manner — treating me with such contempt? and that between gentlemen such as we are. I have written to you to receive my money, but you have neglected [to return] it. Repeatedly you have made them [messengers] return to me empty-handed through foreign country. Who is there amongst the Dilmun traders who has acted against me in this way? You have treated my messenger with contempt. And further with regard to the silver that you have taken with you from my house you make this discussion. And on your behalf I gave 18 talents of copper to the palace, and Sumi-abum also gave 18 talents of copper, apart from the fact that we issued the sealed document to the temple of Samas. With regard to that copper, as you have treated me, you have held back my money in a foreign territory, although you are obligated to hand it over to me intact. You will learn that here in Ur I will not accept from you copper that is not good. In my house, I will choose and take the ingots one by one. Because you have treated me with contempt, I shall exercise against you my right of selecting the copper.

I would say at least in the former Soviet Union a lot of housing is structurally fine but needs some basic maintenance. Hell, new “luxury” apartments in Portland usually are shoe boxes with paper thin walls that are thrown up as cheaply as humanly possible.

When that housing was the drab-est (and the waiting lists the longest), that was because the choice was between the drab apartments and a shelled-out hole in the ground, because half the country had just been destroyed by a Nazi invasion. Funny how that works!

I would say at least in the former Soviet Union a lot of housing is structurally fine but needs some basic maintenance. yeah I've read about how Soviet-era apartments were solid as a rock and were still perfectly usable well past the fall of the USSR. you wouldn't have any state-directed maintenance anymore, but that's where the community stepped in, keeping the hallways clean even if they couldn't ever quite get the elevators working again indeed, there were stories of how private gas and electricity companies for a time couldn't actually figure out a way to charge individual households within an apartment complex with a bill for utilities because the complexes just weren't built with the kind of wiring/piping that would allow them to discern individual units from one another and to bring it back to the US, Dmitry Orlov would write about how in the Soviet Union, you at least actually did have an apartment or a house that you could stay in, well after the government dissolved. In America, once the collapse
