  1. In this construction, the headwinds are a kind of asset to Bernie's center-left acceptability. IOW: It doesn't really matter if you disagree w/ Sanders about whether private insurance should *exist* in 2022 bc there's no universe in which he successfully abolishes it

  2. A common theme among center-left-ish thinkers warming to Bernie is akin to: ~The policy changes I'd like are 100 yards away, not 300. But the headwinds of US politics are such that maybe the best way to progress the ball a chipping-wedge distance is with a Big Bertha driver.~

  4. Mike Bloomberg thinks he’s building a catastrophic-insurance plan for establishment Democrats, in the event of Biden’s implosion. But what if his campaign is actually helping to kill the patient?

    "Whether Bloomberg flames out in two weeks or becomes the 46th president of the United States, his opulent experiment in self-funding could open a Pandora’s box of billionaire projects," argues :

    As the Black Death raged through Europe in 14th century, Venice enforced a rule where ships had to anchor for 40 days before crew and passengers were allowed to come ashore. The waiting period was named "quarantino", which derives from the Italian for 40.

  7. Congrats to Andy Reid above all for somehow being 61 years old, in my mind, for the last 25 years

  8. Pat Mahomes is like a Madden gamer who spots his younger bro 10 points ... and then tears his heart out over, and over, and over. Every game this postseason, the KC Chiefs fell behind by double digits, scored three consecutive TDs, and won. Amazing.

    In a slower growth, less dynamic America, moving to a place with similar salary opportunities but much lower housing costs might be the best upward mobility opportunity available to ordinary Americans.

    In the last three weeks, Amy Klobuchar has halved her deficit with both Buttigieg (from 11 point to 5) and Warren (from 8 points to 4).

    This is a graph of every U.S. county that added more than 1,000 people who moved out of Los Angeles last year. It suggests a grand theory of moving: Most Americans don't move. But when they do, they go to places that are close, or big, or big and close—and almost always cheaper.

    1. Nominating a self-described socialist in an electoral system that obviously leans center-right is riskier than nominating the Risk-Free Archetypal Moderate Alternative. 2. In reality, the R-FAMA might not exist as such, and likely moderate alternatives have their own risks

    Big picture: The state synonymous with all kinds of growth—vegetal, technological, and human—is growing at its slowest rate ever. California is getting older, richer, more exclusive, as it turns a hint of grey. The Golden State is turning platinum.

    More ppl moving out, fewer ppl moving in, fewer middle-class families, fewer births—these stories are all downstream from a lack of affordable housing. And California is already paying the price in political power: It's poised to lose a congressional district in 2020.

    SF has the lowest percentage of children under 18 of any city in the U.S. LA County has seen a 17% decline in the number of kids in the past 10 years. California's median age is rising 40% faster than that of the overall U.S. population.

    But when you really dig into the state demographics, another story emerges. California's biggest population challenge isn't exodus; it's genesis. Where are the kids?
