Yep. They never bothered to fix it, because gently caress you.

I'm not sure if it came up in this thread or another, but the mathematics/economic theory behind the Laffer curve is solid. The abuse of it by conservative politicians lies in where they place the inflection point where marginal gains from tax increases become negative. The true inflection point is nowhere near where a lot conservative economists claim., but the underlying idea (that increasing tax rates do not linearly increase tax revenue, and that at some point tax increases may actually result in negative marginal returns above a certain point) is well-founded. It's just another example of conservatives abusing statistics/economic theory for self-serving gain, especially when they conflate decreasing marginal returns with decreasing returns in an absolute sense.

Nah, it's fundamentally garbage at a deeper level because it relies on the "Homo economicus" model of the rational actor, and assumes that the only reason anybody does anything is for financial gain and personal profit.

Of course that's a problem with classical economics as a whole, but that's a much larger conversation.

All signs point to her being exactly that dumb. There was a deep dive article on her last year and the best conclusion they could come up with is that she fully and completely believes that she's playing incredibly good politics, and that she sincerely believes that she is on the path to the Presidency.

Ok, it might be my covid fog that's the problem but I'm just not understanding what this is all about. What's the equivalence?

Just my impression, but the White House press corps is pissy because they were told there would be no press at the wedding but pictures from a pre-wedding photo shoot were published in Vanity Fair. Obviously this is exactly as bad as all the lies the Trump administration told, because it thwarted the desires of journalists to feel like they're actually friends with the people they're reporting on. Or to feel important. Something like that.

Wow, this is fascinating. And kinda creepy. This guy cycles between cognitive dissonance and doublethink a couple times here. You can feel the discomfort when faced with a reality that contradicts his political beliefs, then he slides right into the comfortable, familiar topics on which he can exercise doublethink as a coping mechanism.
