No. I suppose dozens more in addition will continue to be wrong.

I've certainly heard this take dozens of times. Maybe you'll be the first to be correct!

Where'd you get the model from and how frequently will you be updating it, dipshit.

I know lots of folks are wondering: yes, I did in fact write this song. This wasn't the result of an AI prompt to "make a song that feels like if the 90s was tepid and gutless". Everything here is above board and I assume I am credited on the album for my contributions.

I'm white. But I'm also the lead singer songwriter of The Pixies so maybe that gives me an edge.

Well no. You're refusing to listen. You insist that your understanding of the text can be the only correct understanding. That any other predictions were simply impossible.

Why?

Why not ask why others were able to see things that you weren't? Seems more productive, no?

Your conclusions were wrong. This administration is yet to surprise me. They are doing exactly what they said they would, in more or less the exact manner they said.

P25 is a document outlining what to destroy and how. An agency with an entire chapter dedicated to it was never going to survive.

I agree two things can be true

1. You predicted poorly

2. Others didn't.

Why are you engaging in this strange exercise where you insist you were correct to be wrong. You weren't. Take the L, learn something, and be more perceptive in future.

What exactly do you suppose "deradicalize programs and structures" meant? This is the same bait and switch these folks have always played and you fell for it (See: abortion).

Why are you unable to trust the folks who correctly saw what you couldn't? You were wrong. Others were right. Listen to them

Why are you quoting the same folks who led you to your admittedly drastically wrong underestimation of the administration's actions? I think we can agree their analysis is unreliable given how wrong they turned out to be.

Get off Bluesky and read the damn chapter for yourself.

There's an entire chapter on it, dipshit.

This is an extremely weird way to say you didn't actually warn of things being this bad.

There's nothing to be gained by tripling down on being a mouth-breathing idiot on the internet.

Take your lumps. This administration's actions were extremely predictable. They published a book about it.

Josh, they published a book about how they were going to destroy USAID in the first month.

DOGE was announced prior to the election. How are you people this fucking stupid?

You mean the thing that Elon Musk explicitly said he was going to do, prior to the election? Yes. Many of us knew that "gutting agencies" would be a pretext to end litigation against billionaires and steal government info.

I'm Frank Black of The Pixies and I knew it. Why didn't you?

You chose not to believe people who told us exactly what they would do, and are now castigating the folks who took their word at face value.

You are not in a position to castigate anyone. Now is the time to shut up and listen to the folks who clearly know better than you.

This administration's actions have been one the most predictable things that has ever happened in human history. They made a fucking playbook about it for christ sake.

Truly wild that your reaction to the surprise of learning you're a big dumb idiot is not introspection.

In hindsight, those cold dead eyes, emotionless expression, and penchant for "barbecuing" "meat" that "definitely" "isn't human ha ha ha" should have tipped us off.

I couldn't agree more

Okay. So when you said it was "entirely" on the province, that was wrong. Because cities have broad control over land use. Glad we can finally agree on plain and simple fact.

Do you agree or disagree that housing is "entirely" on the province? This is super simple stuff. There is a correct answer.

It doesn't require acknowledgement in this thread because this is a phenomenally simple discussion which merely requires agreement that municipalities actually have a big role to play in the housing crisis, as you've done. It is not "entirely" on the province. Not even close.

Its not ad-hominem to point out your devotion to missing the point entirely.

Housing problems are not *entirely* on the province. Never have been. Never will be. Municipal restrictions continue to hamper development, despite recent progress.

Jeremy. Do houses need to be built on land or don't they?

Do we have the most liberal flexible permissive land use? Or are land use permissions currently a major hurdle for housing?

This is super simple stuff and it's embarassing the level to which you're committed to getting it wrong.

Great! So if we both agree that municipalities hold quite a lot of control over land use, why on God's Earth would you ever say

"It’s illogical to blame LGs when housing and health belong *entirely* to the Province"

This is obviously incorrect, right? Housing requires land to use, correct?

What we're talking about is municipal responsibility.

Would you agree or disagree that municipalities hold quite a lot of control over land use, and that it would be very hypocritical for a municipality to whine about the province while doing absolutely nothing under their own purview?

Hi Jeremy,

This is actually incorrect. You are being pedantic. Maybe try to stop doing that?

Do you agree or disagree that land use and financing are both large barriers to affordable housing?

Cheers,

Uh guys, does anybody know how The Zodiac Killer got his hands on a pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses in 1969?
