Wolfers arguing with a community note over pennies.

Actual bottom line: wages are totally flat going back a few years when adjusted for inflation. Inflation has eaten up all of the wage gains from the labor market crunch.

either way you slice it bidenomics now apparently includes a year of trump lol

When you deal with enough boomers and liberals whose brains just reset five seconds after you've started to apparently convince them of something after intense effort and dialogue I imagine it's easy to believe that

at work i find that repeating myself several times in a row ie "here is a task, this is the task, this task here we are doing now" in order to clearly communicate something that needs doing, or that we need to start working on

mostly this is with olds but it's also quite effective on hung over fresh grads

but yeah obviously the people with real money are all olds who can't bend over so they need giant suvs (our neighbors are a doctor couple lol they are sol, meanwhile the retirees down the street who park their rv in the street every friday and sunday who have that new, weird lookin one)

all the jewish daycares i've seen have been the nicest in the area and also outrageously expensive

six years ago we were paying $2100/month for one child in silicon valley, i can only imagine what it is these days lol

now we pay $700/week for three kids, which includes the 1st grader for extended school care (cheapest), in a significantly more affordable area

it's just insanely funny to me that this is where we're at now, religious orgs are the best places to get basic social services. No shade on JCC, they do important poo poo here, but everything is decaying so fast.

This is where the future is headed. I'd bet that in 20 years all the new tract home developments will have neighborhood-level backup power. Rich people in older houses will all have their own backup power. Once everyone who matters is isolated from power outages, the grid will be allowed to rot and collapse and those without backup power will experience multiple weeks without power annually.

My mother in law in Texas already has experienced more than a week in total without power just on that year with the cold winter.

i had friends in nola who were without power for ~3 months after katrina

one of their moms ended up bribing an entergy guy in a cherry picker to do their street next

I hope this isn't a preview of the "solution" for the housing crisis. Not having single-family zoning is a fine starting point, but it seems like nothing is gonna be done about standards for the eventual units or Airbnb/wealthy out of staters from buying everything that isn't an apartment

i like it

treating "building our way out of a housing shortage" as a bad thing is weird asf
