The economic theory that brought us the post war boom is Keynesian Economics, not Free Market Capitalism
Not to mention, we seen this play out historically in the US.
Inflation didn’t really affect Nixon or Reagan reelection, what mattered was the wars and jobs
When Volkner jacked up rates during Carter, it cause a massive spike in unemployment which is the main reason why Carter lost reelection
I thought this is valuable because we seen Dems picking up seats despite the high inflation and this might provide the reasoning behind it
I think it is hilarious because Elon says he is and this other group is calling him out on it
Elon Musk, while destroying Twitter, is still a massive advocate of abusing employees (https://gizmodo.com/twitter-elon-musk-silicon-valley-tech-layoffs-1850470520) and very much against the strikes (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-says-auto-union-201310505.html)
You are right
It does mandate 2 days out of a pay period, the bill does suck
What is interesting, is while the MAGA wants full RTO and Biden via Executive Order is also trying to push full RTO (just ask the EPA staff). The Senate has this bill pushing for some not full RTO. I don’t support this bill, but I can’t help but wonder if the Senate is admitting some weakness here
Broader context is Biden is trying to force RTO on all federal workers
Which make this bill a shock
This legislation emerges on the heels of efforts by senators like “Family-Friendly” Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to undo remote work, which makes it easier for workers to start and grow families, guidelines established during the pandemic.
I thought the article was just mocking right wingers
Edit:
It does mock right wingers, and I read the bill it doesn’t look like it has a poison pill besides the potentially harmful twice in a pay period (which is two weeks)
Remote work has been a target of self styled “pro-family” conservatives. For instance, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) voiced worries about federal employees moving to less expensive areas but retaining high pay (The absolute horror!). These arguments contribute to a larger political discourse on the pros and cons of family-friendly remote work.
If it was white supremacist, I wouldn’t share it. The obsession with population decline is weird, but they have gone after Meloni and Musk for being virtues signalers who cares more about culture fights than families. So I guess they can’t be all bad

Common Ground have thoughts on that
“The veto of #AB309 – revenue neutral cost rental social housing on public land which could be built starting next year – while we only commit to study the issue for another 2-3 years is an insult to the millions of housing cost-burdened residents of California.”
OH NO, I have a bias
I am just so bias sharing smaller groups and subscribing to their newsletters and what not, especially as they come up content I like better and provided sources
I will cite the ones that can back what they are reporting and least likely to defend shitty stuff
Considering all other articles about SB 799 is trying to defend Newsom and this one doesn’t, and this one links Sen. Portantino response (one example https://news.yahoo.com/newsom-vetoes-unemployment-bill-strikers-010632833.html)
I know which one I be using
Guess I should unsubscribe Popular Info and The Big Newsletter by the same logic
Seattle Loosen Downtown Zoning Regulations
Apparently that is the case, considering they relaxed some of the rules but not all of them.
Don’t really care about the source, their articles aren’t reactionary and they are a good collection on stuff that I care without having to go look around on YIMBY, Paid Leave, Child Care, Anti Austerity, etc etc
All the study and article says that there is a correlation between an older population and inequality, that there is a relationship but not what the relationship is.
You could easily use this to make the argument that the Oligarchs are destroying everyone else’s ability to have a family

Why is it that only this site is the only one bringing it up that the head of the so called Small Business Association was is a big shot state Republican that was voted out

Singapore will probably be forced to sooner or later
Neat, the article and the study even talks about it
Hell, the article’s conclusion is about economic instability being a bad thing? >
