    NYC Mayoral Election Discussion

    Dem party leadership and their megadonors really, really wanted to skewer Mamdani badly. Unfortunately for them in light of his notorious and sordid history of egregious corruption and sexual harassment (not that they care so long as they get their way), Cuomo really was a non-starter.

    Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe?

    If you review the article, putting aside that the strategy mentioned there has objectively succeeded, it's not simply rent control that is being done, but actual builds of affordable housing, which, no matter the implementation, is the key and core of any solution to a housing crisis as severe...

    America was for sale. Israel bought it.

    It has been thus since Truman who was instrumental in organizing and winning the dirty pool 1947 Partition Plan vote through a mix of delegate and national level coercion, bribery and intimidation.

    Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe?

    As with many programs like this, it would likely vary with the total income of the individual and how valuable the location of the housing is (for example, a major city like Toronto vs a smaller one like London). Honestly, even secondary and tertiary Canadian cities have income/rent ratios well...

    Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe?

    Keep in mind that's the maximum, not what you will necessarily pay. For most Canadians living in cities, even this cap will be a considerable reduction in their current rental expense; consider Toronto for example where average rents exceed average incomes (i.e. lots of people are renting...

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Losing the swing states by a mere 1-3% while she largely ignored the single most important issue per the electorate according to just about every poll out there, from the start of the campaign season to its end would beg to differ.

    Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe?

    The solution will have to be social housing of some variety as nothing but this will remedy such an entrenched and extreme problem within a reasonable time frame.

    The future is now. Robotaxi Launches

    Hey, he actually has a commercial offering at last; 10 years behind Waymo with safety drivers and far too late, but, nonetheless. If this is the future, it's more like the future was a decade ago than now.

    Tesla Launches Robotaxi Service in Austin

    Honestly it's more like ten; five years ago Waymo was offering a commercial service with zero safety drivers.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    I think the element you're missing in this calculus is that 50 years of real median wage stagnation and declines have finally come home to roost; we're not remotely in the same environment as we were back in the 70s through to the early 2000s. Neoliberals and neocons alike constantly...

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Well yes, her campaign was fundamentally reducible to abortion and Orange Man Bad, and as we've seen time and time again, this is simply not adequate to carry a campaign, no matter how odious Trump may be.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Kamala could have followed through and continued to message on the substantive things she was talking about early in the campaign that would directly attack cost of living such as tackling greedflation, (un/anti)competitive industries, and collusion both digital and otherwise (software/algo...
