The most recent wage report wasn’t great, but I guess I don’t understand how a 3.7 increase for the bottom quartile when inflation is 2.7 percent is a “redneck recession,” rather than a modest gain. It would be a good story if Trump were punishing the people who elected him, and

Worth rereading Philip Weiss’ relatively early (2007) profile of Epstein, at least for 1) @MichaelWolffNYC’s nuanced admiration for “Jeffrey.” In the Trump v. Epstein matchup it’s clear whose team Wolff started on. 2) “Peggy Siegal says Epstein’s two big charitable causes are

If I remember right, there was a great New Yorker article years ago arguing that “brain death” was a hoax designed to facilitate early organ harvesting. Think it was either this https://t.co/MFJnkpOehA or this https://t.co/rPwnfBQ7Wl. Maybe we should get rid of “brain death.”

And if the patient completely comes back to life, do we take into account “social considerations like organ viability” and make sure they die? … Wait, they’re already dead-I forgot we changed the definition. Do we make sure they fulfill their potential to be dead? https://t.co/MW47ZbZhRa

In CA, income tax revenue comes mainly from the rich. That gives CA a big incentive to keep the rich happy. Similarly, if more revenue comes from industries that pay tariffs (ie that need to import raw materials) doesn’t that create an incentive to keep those industries alive? https://t.co/5L3sljrpRc

One advantage for Murdoch: LA’s alt-weekly newpapers are also in decline. Just a huge void waiting to be filled. If only the richest part of the population weren’t reflexively hostile to anything Trumpish. (Maybe spread the news that Murdoch hates Trump.)
