    Periodic reminder that Bolivia’s prosperity has led to an Aymara-led architecture movement that absolutely slaps. This is hands down the best architecture in the world right now.

    I'm here to tell you that these critics are wrong, the SJW Left is right, and the only reason anyone ever thinks otherwise is because they haven't looked at the evidence. Which is what we're going to do in this thread: look at the evidence.

    The beauty and horror of American politics is that the leading anti-immigrant politician of our time is married to a Slovenian-born woman who appears to have worked illegally for a brief period and nobody cares.

    It's always amusing to me that in the UK context immigrants from *Poland* are among "the bad ones." Should send 'em over here to the USA where they'd be welcomed by racists and normal people alike.

    German friends! Do you know if a survey like this one exists for Germany? I.e. poll of public that asked which immigrant groups (by origin) they want more/same/fewer of?

    Shouldn't real conservatives be demanding that wall funds be paired with Davis-Bacon Act repeal so it can be built cost-effectively?

    Critical point here — “efficient” financial markets means two different things and only one of them is true.

    In case you missed it. My new blog: Don’t trust the markets.

    Okay ... rezone for denser construction and attach a modest inclusionary zoning requirement to new apartments, use some of the tax windfall from new owner-occupied construction to finance new social housing.

    if you are concerned about the left not centering zoning reform enough in green new deal plans, perhaps you should actually lay out a *concrete vision* for making sure the stuff that gets built is somewhere the working class can actually move into in the next 10 years

    The important big picture context for any micro-dispute about Facebook — Using Facebook less makes people physically and mentally healthier.

    What happens when you (experimentally) get people to stay off for a week? People... ▪️consume less news, ▪️are *less* likely to recognize politically-skewed news, ▪️are less depressed, and ▪️engage in healthier activities.
