@realcaseyrollins nope. it’s protecting any semblance of democracy.
but you be you!
sometimes you miss gender people when you mister gender them.
@realcaseyrollins richer than us is fine. rich enough to live lives entirely apart and own mass media is not.
maybe musk wouldn't pay himself so much if he faced a 94% marginal tax rate.
just spitballin' here!
tbh there'd be a lot fewer hallucinations than if he wrote it himself. https://jabberwocking.com/trump-says-ai-wrote-one-of-his-speeches/
Re this bump-stock decision, I can't help but ask, are the conservatives on the Supreme Court accelerationists?
is the word "respectfully" ever used more ironically than at the Supreme Court?
a response that flatters your priors is called a "debunking".

@lordbowlich @SteveRoth housing wealth appreciation, which is housing cost appreciation, is indeed a burden for us all!
but you are better off with an asset that has tracked housing price rises than those of us who have no such asset.
(that’s not any kind of criticism! i’m glad you have some insurance against housing price spikes.)
@Alon @SteveRoth i don’t think you are right. lower quartile labor income did well, increasing faster in % terms than higher quantiles (though not necessarily in dollar terms).
but those numbers far from >> comprehensive income in higher quartiles, including capital income and valuation changes (the latter i think is what you mean by wealth).
in any case, @SteveRoth has the best numbers on these questions.

@admitsWrongIfProven@qoto.org i agree. it’s time to renounce this getting older thing.
