One more Sinatra fact- his mother was a Democratic ward boss and political organizer in the Italian immigrant community called āHatpin Dolly,ā because she was a midwife but also did abortions for the women in the neighborhood, leading Francis to be banned from singing in the church.- General Health Care/Health Cost thread
Iām pretty clearly not talking about Medicaid eligible hourly workers, Iām talking about everyone above the upper income cutoff, but still, something like one in six workers would quit their jobs but stay there to retain healthcare benefits. I hardly think itās good for hourly workers to depend on their employers for their health and life in addition to income. But itās also bad for the economy and entrepreneurship, in addition to depressing wages:- Trumpās America

You act like thatās a bad thing. Healthcare is the single biggest factor that prevents people from seeking better employment, choosing to live on one income instead of two, or starting businesses of their own. When employers canāt handcuff their workers with healthcare, wages are the primary tool they have to keep them, and if they choose not to pay market rate, they will suffer the consequences. Donāt confuse bondage with benefit.- General Health Care/Health Cost thread
That is a key feature, maybe THE key feature of any reform that seeks improvement to the private health insurance market, not a bug. All employees are ALREADY paying the full boat cost, they are just bartering some amount of their labor for it and giving their employer the entire tax break, in return for a suboptimal risk pool and no portability.- 25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent

Ppl- The Lost Generation essay
Yes, that was super dumb. Itās funny, I run into that a lot with younger millennials. They seem to labor under the impression that there was some golden age in the recent past when things were fair. I have no idea where it comes from.- The Lost Generation essay
I think it will bring back some of the ones we want, and also probably help stop the bleeding. I think we are talking about a lot of things here: 1) younger people taking the blame and paying a social/economic price for the actions/inactions of older people, mainly boomers (an immense subject matter) 2) How affluent white progressives have been unaware of, or in some cases actively ignored or even celebrated the negative consequences to a subset of younger people 3) how MAGA enlisted resentment about that and channeled that towards their own ends 4) what it takes for progressives to reestablish or maintain credibility with middle and working class millennials. Paying attention to them and indicating that their struggles are understood isnāt good enough by itself to make a political difference, but I do think itās required for any sort of policy or plan or candidates to resonate. Itās the whole podcast thing- Kamala Harris should have done Theo Von and flown to Austin to do Rogan and not done anything special other than be herself as honestly as she could and to push back as much as she wanted. The point of doing those venues would have been to signal to their audiences that they matter.- The Lost Generation essay
It is counterproductive. Recognizing something and accepting it as real (ie, not an act) is not validation. But you canāt really be credible to another person if you donāt take them in good faith and try to understand where theyāre coming from. Thatās very different from agreeing with them. Itās not a great analogy but for example, Iāve spent a lot of time with homeless people. Some of them are very angry and blame a lot of people for their problems, including people who are trying to help them. The first step when you try to reach those people is just listen, nod their head, and indicate understanding. But you must not validate because that can enable their worst ideas and actually doesnāt help get to them.- The Lost Generation essay
Again, I think you are projecting. Iām blaming progressives for, among other things, failing to help minorities and disadvantaged people, and putting the performance of helping ahead of results in order to protect their own power and status. You can miss me with the rest of all that.- The Lost Generation essay
Now Iām confused. Where did I yell at anybody for that? - Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]
