To pull from the latest issue of the New York Magazine.

The triumph of the neoliberal consensus, post-1989, was to naturalize the economy. Here are these laws that are fairly apolitical, untouchable, the equivalent of the laws of nature. What the financial crisis, and then the response to the financial crisis, did was to denaturalize that again. What was once viewed as laws of nature are once more seen as laws of men. And the laws of men can be changed.

Libertarians cannot accept that political economics is the original and rightful form of economics.

I think every libertarian should be strapped to a chair Alex DeLarge style and be forced to read any Gabriel Kolko book

it's really, really amazing watching middling software engineers try their hand at other things because they think their competence at a small section of discrete mathematics means they know how to do everything else, and then fail spectacularly

To be able to reasonably afford a house in Fairfax County near a metro stop I have to DINK it up hardcore. Like uh, 250k/household to even really consider it. They just built about 60 townhouses down the road and they range from 1-1.25m a pop.

who the gently caress is buying these? My wife and I are DINKs and I make good money and she makes medium money and... we're not even close.

Same boat here. At this rate, we're planning on buying in MD in PG County or something because we could give a poo poo about schools since we're not having kids.

I just tapped out, moved to Chicago and did my job remotely. There's way fewer ways to get the TS/SCI megabuxx but if I can't do anything with them then what's the point

Nobody's saying that. McCain was one of the last members of the Republican party who was occasionally willing to cooperate on poo poo like campaign finance reform and projecting soft power. Good luck getting that from Tom Cotton.

It's the same reason why people were bummed when Kennedy retired from the bench. Yeah he had some horrible decisions, but he was also willing to vote the moderate position on some key stuff. You won't get that out of Kavanaugh.

how many times do you say "well, actually," in a given day?
