Waow. Truly the finest intellectuals of the grand conservative tradition here. Maybe next they'd like to tackle "what of higher minimum wage makes borger expensive?".

Have never seen anyone so flummoxed by the idea that poor people need to get to work, lmao. ... ... ... Give me money now. For, uh, mutual aid

The thing is, people who were not 12 and brain-damaged tried other solutions to food deserts with considerably less overhead and it is worth asking why they were not built on, for example (content warning - charts) www.foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fs... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I actually thought well of her during her campaign, separating what she'd actually done from her obnoxious fans. Turns out she's an unserious grifter. Disappointing

I mean, American means testing does seem to be very bad in its implementation and it is worth asking if one can practically do better under the current set of constraints.

The big innovation 😍 Zohran 😍 did as King of NYC was wanting people to not be hungry, a thing unique to him nobody had ever considered (I don't really give a shit if Mamdani wants to try a pilot - data is good! - but the discourse about it has been an extreme case of baby brain)

Well, evaluating results would require reading charts, and we all know how they feel about that. And then it became an opportunity for a famous TikTok lady to push her vote-buying grift

Just so you know, voicing these concerns means you support people going hungry. I don't make the rules.

This post is correct - the Bloomberg initiative was about permits, not subsidies, not at all the same as Mamdani's initiative legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationD... bsky.app/profile/rory...

This is the part I freely admit I don't know the details of, but I think the problem is precisely that many people with an actual service animal would NOT prefer that, or any government certification because it amounts to needing permission from a bureaucrat just to live your life

Sure, but I don't know how to create a societal norm, and terrifyingly, I don't think the guys in charge of TikTok or Reels algos do either.

Ah, but have you considered that someone could put a picture of lockers with a speech bubble over this post because it says something a 12-year-old might not parse? The American Left is highly serious, BTW.

Oh, I agree, but the issue is that there is no credential you can ask for - people fake the vest, for example, and there is no equivalent of a handicap parking pass for service dogs. And legally, under the ADA, I believe there cannot be. So basically, you have to ask or see if the dog misbehaves.

I would say I have never seen someone who ran for political office so flummoxed by someone asking basic questions about the merits of a policy, but regrettably, that would not be true.

Sure, but then you've defaulted to defacto allowing dogs until they misbehave, then confronting the owners. Or confronting the owner when they walk about their dog's status. Now that everyone's pushing the rules with their pandemic puppies, these both become a lot more onerous

The ship for Atlanticism sailed in Nov 2024. That made Trump a trend, not an aberration.

I prefer the Metternich sentiment (cannot find the exact quote, am relying on an episode of @ageofnapoleon.bsky.social), which was him telling the Austrian court that they were well past the point of turning the Revolution clock back, whether they liked it or not.

Oh, well, if THAT'S all, then no problem. States will just "commit" to not doing proxy wars! Oh, the enforcement mechanism will be "enlightened self restraint". Absolutely, my little 12 year old buddy (who somehow teaches at Yale).

I now have a mighty need to see a version of Les Mis where Valjean steals a Torah scroll. (Of course, without the institutional power of the Church, which Jews have, uh, been on the other end of, the story has a few issues)

Item 3 is at least tricky because we really do need to give people with service animals a lot of latitude. Item 1 is "ruthless camera usage". As for item 2, I'm not sure how we even walk it back. "Everyone should start confronting strangers" is not gonna cut it
