Unfortunately I do not know enough to be helpful here, good luck with your testing!

Yes. The voters are wrong. They’re stupid fcking assholes.

Reasonable people can disagree on how much they need to be catered to, persuaded, ignored, whatever.

But there’s a certain type here that only thinks certain voters should be listened to.

Trump approve/ disapprove from over 50% approval to 41% last print

Pretty amazing that after American voters put Donald fcking Trump BACK in the WH, only for like 20% of them to remember “oh wait, this guy sucks” like 3 months later, sage politics knowers on here will still do the sarcastic “am I out of touch? No it must be the voters who are wrong” shtick.

Yes

Yes, it would be cheaper for them to offer 300 people free rides, and I have no idea how they would do that w/o raising serious privacy concerns (already many people are saying they will “sell the database” of people who use the code, or hand it to the state, though the state has the data already)

And it is WILD that instead of the framing being like “this will alienate conservatives and generate good will from liberals” it’s “this will alienate conservatives and liberals will be still be furious” (many such cases! People don’t have to do this!)

The thing is obviously anyone can use the code. So what they are doing is offering $10 off to anyone in KS for a week. Instead, they could provide free rides, maybe even many many free rides for people in KS who “prove” they are trans to Lyft, I don’t think that would be a popular (or good) idea!

Thinking of you Kamil! “Stay safe” is trite, but I do hope you and your family stay safe and this ends soon ❤️

Worst part is Maya didn’t order food I like 😒

Aren’t all the addresses in an app???

There’s no way for me to inform UberEats that Maya is not getting her Thai food.

Ordered UberEats. Delivery person hands me my bag and a bag for someone else from a diff restaurant, but no legible address. I hand that back and tell him “no, not mine someone else’s, check with UberEats.” Close door, hear rustling outside; he just left it outside my door lol.

Also, I’m a nobody shtposter with like 37 real followers and I will almost always do a quick sanity check of someone’s TL before I QT, no matter how anodyne the actual post is. So, people do have time to do this.

I’m sure they and everyone here would be thrilled if every Dem came out and said in unison this war is bad because “Americans want relief from the affordability crisis.”

Very funny that people are like “lame Dems are going to write a ‘strongly worded letter’ when what they need to do is IMPEACH!”

Right now a resolution to impeach is a strongly worded letter. Possibly even more toothless than a letter.

Lmao

There was a Bberg headline about potential crackdown on ETFs designed to avoid taxes and I had a moment of panic but phew… it was about the 351 funds

Interesting bc the tape *feels* fcking terrible right now.

Chart of SPX index which has barcoded in a very tight range ytd

2 months down and nothing to show for it

Just ASKBed perf attribution by country for Feb for an ETF. Fail (didn’t even attempt, first did allocation by country, then told me to use the PORT fx which Bberg inexplicably made unusable a few months ago and yes I’m still mad about it)

I mean I think he is purposefully saying something he knows will draw the ire of 98% of Bsky.

And I don’t know if the left can both encompass the median Dem and be deemed a “wing”!

I think Matt is trolling here. But I don’t doubt that there are respondents in that poll who absolutely believe this (one of my issues w the whole OP about “moderate” vs “tough”)

(TBC I’m not saying we should listen to those people I’m saying drawing conclusions from that survey is risky IMO)

Also polling is tough and I see the value of stuff like this over “issues polling,” but it’s also really really hard to say what people mean, ESPECIALLY swing voters and indies, when they respond to things like “moderate” “tough” “extreme.”

Anyone who takes this seriously as an indicator of what “Dems should do” has not read the link or understood the extremely weak methodology here.

Yeah but for the most part people are giving him sht for it (not his loyal cadre of course)

FWIW this challenge is a joke, a junior on a trading desk would make the mistake of accepting it for like $750

If Elon Musk can hand out $1M checks to register to vote (for Republicans), the IRS can accept my return with ‘income source: taco and beer challenge’ written on it.

US also has some just insane shit that obviously shouldn’t be legal like your hospital and Doctor are “in network” but the anesthesiologist, who you don’t choose, isn’t

I do specifically remember the list price for ambulance ride was $750 (I paid $0). So yeah that’s what’s terrible.

It’s also true that what I consider “very low” may not be low to others. I had ambulance ride, emergency kinda serious surgery and overnight stay about a decade ago and it cost me idk $500, $1000, $1500 I don’t remember at all, it wasn’t an issue and that wouldn’t be the case for everyone

I mean I have always had pretty to very good insurance and my out of pocket is very low.

That’s the “issue” with US insurance, actually it’s not true that 1 emergency can bankrupt every American, millions of people have workplace insurance they don’t pay much for and they’re satisfied enough with
