The problem is the amount of destruction and chaos required before Democratic leaders admit this.

Well... disturbing. Worth a click. It's to the point that we should recognize that the average white American is fine w fascism.

It seems like it was canceled because of political reasons. But they'd never admit it

Critical thing is to reverse the kleptocracy and reinstate democracy. Let's focus!

I'm concerned by State Farm’s unfair and arbitrary insurance rate hike on Illinois homeowners.

These increases are predicated on catastrophe loss numbers inconsistent with Illinois DOI’s analysis, indicating State Farm is shifting out-of-state costs onto homeowners here.

Yes indeed. But I only learned that 10 years later. From the interview I saw I think his grandmother felt being left-handed was bad. Amazing man, amazing band!

28 yrs ago I was briefly the drummer for the Chicago Beatles ensemble. Great time! Early in the group the guitarists said you're pretty good but not playing it like Ringo. So I listened hard - realized what an incredibly creative drummer he was. I had to start all the fills with my left hand.

Given the BBB and expected runaway income inequality in the US, I recommend resurrecting dinosaurs. Large, generalist predators would level out markets while bringing us together. πŸ§ͺ

Brings back memories of struggling with hair loss! This year I took off for field work in Argentina for grad school. Forced me to accept my skull - I buzzed off all remaining hair. A huge relief!

Real estate doesn't boom when you dump supply on the market. I suspect prices will go down.

I'm very concerned about environmental effects of selling public land, but I asked the question about prices to expand the discussion.

I take your point, but:
1. I was just talk to a few communities and not submitting a paper.
2. Submitting a paper would be difficult because the relationship between forests and water quality is a no brainer

Federal lands provide significant community benefits. Here's a water utility example from when I was working on payments for ecosystem services in Western NC. Send this figure to your senator!

Asking a favor, could someone do an analysis of the exogenous impact of liquidating 250 million acres of land due federal restructuring will have on the real estate market. #EconSky πŸ§ͺ

This seems to be the same logic Putin used to invade Ukraine.
