Hold on, who was suing who in Bush v Gore? Doesn’t the plaintiff get listed first?Imagine a world where you try to overturn a democratic election and, failing that, organize a crappy coup to "fight like hell" as a last resort to hold onto power ...Imagine a world where #blueanon forgets they sent in squadrons of lawyers to overturn a presidential election. Years later then engage in election outcome: Denialism, delegitimization and ascribe to every insane conspiracy theory imaginable in order to undermine a presidency, with seeds planted by the election outcome denialism and the claim of an illegitimate presidency.

The Federal Reserve 2023 - $114.3 Billion in the RED
It's largest ever annual operating loss.
But it's still likely a bad idea, because it's the The Fed that (for example) calls out the absolute of the current administrations jobs numbers and the gaslighting they're doing on that.
I also believe it's The Fed (but not 100% certain) that outlines how this enconomy and it's current GDP growth (as anemic as it currently is) is being "driven" by Federal Spending. Edit - All time record Federal spending
Your chart was adjusted for household size. So the declining birthrate is important because children are part of the household, but they mostly don’t contribute any income. So declining birthrates are pretty relevant not only to the source, but also because a declining workforce will also impact the quality of life for the younger generations if productivity increases don’t keep accelerating.saying housing "costs" are not much higher than a generation ago is ignoring the fact that housing is also an asset that is much more valuable than a generation ago.
wut? genuinely no idea what you are saying here.
not sure why you twisted into children either. i didn't read it, but afaik, the economist article was not an attempt at understanding declining birth rates.
i think it just shows that younger cohorts in the us have higher incomes at the same stage in life than did older cohorts, and that gen z does not diverge from that trend. there could be some compositional effects that are distorting the data as presented, but it's not immediately clear to me that there would be.
it's true that the cost of housing has outpaced inflation more generally, but gen z is still spending less on housing than did older cohorts. americans are still getting richer.

kk, what is your response to this chart?
QuoteCoal Exports by Country
Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of coal during 2022.
Australia: US$83.3 billion (35% of total coal exports)
Indonesia: $46.7 billion (19.6%)
Russia: $42.8 billion (18%)
United States: $17.3 billion (7.3%)
South Africa: $13 billion (5.5%)
Canada: $10.8 billion (4.5%)
Mongolia: $6.5 billion (2.7%)
Netherlands: $2.2 billion (0.9%)
Mozambique: $2 billion (0.9%)
Poland: $1.6 billion (0.7%)
Colombia: $1.3 billion (0.6%)
China: $1.2 billion (0.5%)
Kazakhstan: $946.5 million (0.4%)
Philippines: $883.1 million (0.4%)
Belgium: $763.6 million (0.3%)QuoteAs the second-largest exporting hub for coal in the United States, accounting for nearly one-third (28 percent) of total exports in 2023, the Port of Baltimore has helped meet that demand.
so at absolute worst 2% of global supply slack has to be picked up by the global market (including the US) and most of what we export doesn't go to Europe anyway.
I guess, I feel like we may have bigger things to worry about.
I didn't post more from that article because #blueanongE gets extremely triggered and ragey when I do that . . . but always glad to see that you've avoided the "been on the rise" component of international exports of U.S. coal. While also avoiding nearly a third of all U.S. coal exports departing from that port, and avoiding the impact on domestic coal supply (and I know you guys hate hate hate coal and the power it provides) while also avoiding the impact on special coal needed to power our dwindling domestically controlled steel mills.

Really? I guess I am a bit of an accelerationist on arms control but I don’t think I’ve talked about it.I can acknowledge that the F35 seems to be much more successful than was thought by many.
that's all i ever wanted.
on arms control, it's ironic, at least to me, that the policies favored by isolationists (you and dax) provide an enormous incentive for countries around the world to reengage with nuclear weapons development.

Yeah, Casemiro is just finished and it happened so fast. Insane dropoff in form from last season to now. A replacement for him and a new CB to partner with Martinez next season should be the first priorities.I saw him multiple times in the opposition 18 and if Bournemouth played one more pass the back 4 would have been completely exposed again. I understand Bruno dropping deep to get space and pick a pass I don’t understand why you would ask the slowest man in England who is supposed to provide defensive cover to be 40-50 yard further up field when he won’t even be able to put a body on anyone to stop a counter. Again, that is on Ten Hag.
Yeah not great. But being friends with a former KKK member or being “friends” with Storm Thurmond (R) seems not as bad as say owning slaves, or being Storm Thurmond.Your boy was BFF’s with Bob Byrd and no amount of white washing (LMAO) is going to change Byrd’s KKK pastI’m so mad at Trump I am once again voting for one of the biggest historical racists to ever walk the halls of Washington DC . . . #blueanongEOne of the biggest historical racists to ever walk the halls of Washington DC is a wild claim. I don’t like lots of politicians in 2024 but I wouldn’t put them up against 1965 or 1855 Senate’s worst and be taken seriously.
Joe “incarceration nation” Biden is my guy . . . Steve Dave and #blueanongE

Come on man
Your boy Bill Clinton idolized a notorious segregationist. Which why the deification of the racist Clinton’s by #blueanon will never stop being hilarious to me. Hillary was the vital cog in the “we will bring them to heal” movement. I’ll give you 3 shots as to who “them” was.

There are plenty of challenges like a lack of population density and no scale for infrastructure and coaching for academies because of the relatively huge lack of professional clubs compared to most of the rest of the world. I like your idea but those other challenges are not easy to solve.is that through scholarships to the academies?For example, I think Sweden has set a great example by partially privatizing their Social Security system.I admit I started it, but let’s not pit this up.
I’m curious what you think about the model for youth sports as compared with our pay to play system. I think rec leagues from our youth are probably overly romanticized but covid for sure killed off MPRD sports in MHK and I think that was a loss for the community.
I also think generally that open gyms or pick up for basketball and regular pick up games for soccer and vital for the health of the sports. I think we are too far gone on baseball in the states but pick up game culture is sports culture for most of the world.
I do not particularly like pay for play. I am most familiar with youth soccer and my thoughts will primarily be based off my experiences in youth soccer.
Nothing is going to change in US youth soccer until there is the introduction of solidarity payments as there is in much of the world of soccer. There is a good chance that this is what makes the facilities in Bryne, Norway possible. The US Soccer Federation should be handsomely rewarding clubs who produce players that make the various national teams and/or play at a high level. They have a lot of money and waste it on their cronies. There is never going to be some sort of government support for youth sports and I wouldn't be in favor of it. Solidarity payments would completely change how youth soccer operates.
I also am not convinced that pick up game culture is the sports culture in Europe. I'm sure there are plenty of kids playing pick up soccer games, but the ones that are good are going to club Academies at young ages.
