so this is it, right? We’re, like, definitely in WW3 now?

been thinking about this a lot this morning.

Idk, unless there are actual allegations I don’t really see it. Adin Ross seems too stupid to take advantage of anyone.

This is probably far-fetched, but I’d like to think that Crooks was the first republican to actually be intellectually honest about Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and decided to take “kill your local pedophile” to its logical conclusion

Yeah I’ve been having similar thoughts.

2014-2020 or so was a period of significant ideological change & realignment in the US in a number of ways, but now things have kind of reached a new equilibrium, so the current ideological terrain is probably what we’re going to have for a while. I think this is mostly because the internet & social media reached maximum penetration around 2014, and the 2014-2020 period was just the US’s ideological terrain adjusting to that step change.

(Admittedly, I also might be biased because 2014-2020 is also basically the period when I was 18-25 years old, so of course it seemed to me like a lot of things were in flux)

It’s not even the first time someone has done this experiment, lol

lmfao I didn’t even know that half of it

In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

Eh. They could have gotten Benny Morris

developers and their creatures in government were & are the reason everything is the way it is in our communities.

I don’t think this is correct. I’m having trouble finding a source either way about this, but I don’t think developers are particularly pro-single-family-zoning. If anything I’d figure they’d be in favor of density & upzoning since that would allow them to build & sell more real estate.

I think the main supporters of single-family zoning and Euclidean zoning are just conservative suburbanites who idealize “small towns” and really do think that’s the only correct way to construct a community.

Ehh. I don’t think private equity is the main issue. I think that private equity firms would prefer to fund the construction of new housing if they could, but they can’t, because of zoning laws. So they opt for the next best thing which is buying up existing housing stock and renting it.

The crux of the problem is zoning laws, single-family zoning in particular. We either need to allow a bunch of undeveloped land to be developed, or we need to allow already-developed land to be converted into more dense forms of housing. I think the latter option is preferable.

Same. I have to give up and use Chrome to open it.
