Gang back with jam packed episode.

I don't understand this idea that the economy is great, when everyone is struggling with skyrocketing housing costs and insane grocery prices. Maybe profits are up, so I guess that's a good economy?

TC

Is the feed wonky for anyone else? I had to go into notifications to see this episode.

The arg is that the inflation of wages has outpaced the inflation of goods, particularly for low wage workers. So, in agregate, workers have more purchasing power than before inflation. Ofc this doesn't take into account welfare cuts which Matt goes into.

State level stuff makes sense. Every state should probably have a state owned bank. Do you have anything on banking or mostly welfare?

Re: why not good economy, also skyrocketing cost of housing

As Matt says, a lot of the economy good discourse is usually a front for other arguments like criticizing the economy is bad for Biden/Democrats/center-left policy goals or that things could’ve been worse (like the response to 2008).

How do you blow through a windfall? Check out the Wikipedia page of Jack Whittaker, a Powerball winner in West Virginia, who won $314.9 million in 2002. Absolutely crazy story.

What do savings look like? I feel like the savings glut of 2020 is pretty much gone now, based on higher prices etc.

Way down if you are talking money in checking and savings accounts. JP Morgan says balances in their customer accounts have fallen 40 percent since 2021

My grandparents were from Ireland, and I don't care about the Boston Celtics logo. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish depict my people as drunken brawling monkeys and none of us seem to mind. I'm guessing a similar dynamic is at work with the Indians

The population is huge but the pet US racist move is to be all about per capita. The go-to refrain is, like, the 50% murder stat.

Stories to radicalize, esp re: healthcare coverage - please do! Make it a feature. 11 million people lose health care and we're arguing about the border (again) and Ukraine. Talk about sheeple! We should shut the whole fucking country down till we get Medicare for all.

The chiefs are named for a Kansas mayor nicknamed "chief" even though they've leaned into the native motifs

Glad that Jane is wrestling. Seems to make sense for her, plus girls wrestling is getting more popular. Also glad that Matt put all that Stancil nonsense to rest. I tried to write it off as typical partisan econ punditry, where your assessment is kind of just based on whether your guy is president, but it was so shameless and incessant.

M4A has to go hand-in-hand with a closed border. Can't have a generous welfare state that's open to the entire world. "Open borders are a Koch brothers proposal" t. Bernie Sanders, once upon a time.

Someone needs to tell Stancil he lost, because he's posting nonstop about how everyone else is wrong except him.

Bob K Ross

Yo, can we get the pdf?

Richard
>>124306834

Yeah, but the nickname is itself a reference to native culture.

Richard

What happened eighty years ago that made school lunches possible at the state level?

Shasta
>>124306834

No, not etymologically. But I get what you're saying. Just wanted to share a fun fact I learned recently.

Shasta
>>124306834

Just because it could be the reason they haven't had to change their name

Cheetahforce

Oh buddy they've tried that already. He's impervious to all range of suggestions. I think he may be playing some deeper game yet to be revealed. Like, is he being as loud and unpleasant as possible to drive people off Twitter? Is he trying to prove his worth as a shameless shill on spec to some future Dem employer that he could be a high paid press functionary? Has he just misunderstood the norms and conventions of Twitter arguments, and like the ITYSL Haunted House Guy, think he's doing the right thing even though people clearly don't like it and it doesn't work? Is he a bodhisattva Chan Master demonstrating to us the futility of understand our true nature through words and language? At this point it may be best just to leave him alone. He is the perfect foil for Matt, though.

Lots of people citing increased household wealth as part of why economy good but you can’t pay the daycare bill with home equity.

Richard

Right, the word "chief" isn't native, but in this instance it seems to have referred to this mayor's identification with native culture, and his activities with the Boy Scouts, which also drew on that culture. Not that I'm an authority on the guy. I just read the some of the sources cited on his Wikipedia page. Didn't mean to suggest otherwise, much less start an argument.

Bourbachi

I've seen a lot to contradict the idea that "Native Americans don't get offended" (and I don't believe all the different groups are a single culture either). For example, this was the statement from the boy's group: "Please keep in mind that the decisions made by individuals or families in our community are their own and may not reflect the views of the broader tribal community. As a federally recognized tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians does not endorse wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation"

Not sure if I can share links here, but Matt did a YouTube video about it a while ago
