Folks, @PeteButtigieg is right: we've been running a generation long natural experiment on minimum wages and the results are clear. 20 states have no MW to speak of. 30 do, and sometimes as high as European levels (60% of median wage). What do we find? Sharp growth in low pay, little effect on jobs.
A Charlotte student to @PeteButtigieg on corporate abuse of the minimum wage. How will the Democratic platform structure a wage increase to actively protect small businesses from being forced to close or cut hours?

“We’ll replace the profit motive with democratic decision-making.” Fantastic. The people who vote against building more apartments will now vote on everything else.

If the main goal is public transport affordability, I would rather support a natl (Or at least Peninsular-wide) MY50 over MY30 just for RapidKL Imagine being able to use a single pass to take LRT to KL Sentral, KTM Komuter to Seremban, and Bas.My in Seremban

Y'all think "the Camp" is this special place that one day will be announced like "Yes we have built The Camp™" when in reality it's just the gradual escalation of the existing mechanisms of state violence. The camps already exist.

An attempted cable theft between Phileo Damansara and Pusat Bandar Damansara stations caused delays along the MRT Kajang Line early this morning. Rapid KL said trains are temporarily operating at reduced speeds, with longer stops at certain stations, while alternative services have been arranged to minimise disruption to passengers. 🧵1

Mamdani acquires Chinese characteristics (complimentary). We just wrote about this model at @WorksInProgMag!!!! This is very similar to China's industrial policy playbook. Many attribute China's industrial success to central planning, when in fact the determining factor is aligning incentives of local governors to growth. Then, municipalities compete aggressively with each other for investment.
Breaking News: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is making a $30 million investment to build a quantum research lab at New York University. In exchange, the city will receive 15% of any proceeds from intellectual property developed in that lab. nyti.ms/4jUe7GD

Metra has released their proposal to transform the Chicago commuter rail network: Most lines would see a major increase in service running every 15/30 minutes all day, along with a new crosstown service that would THRU-RUN through Chicago Union station.
Metra has released their Regional Rail Network plan: The plan calls to transform the network from Commuter to Regional rail with most lines running every 30/15 minutes if Regional Rail 1.0/2.0 got funded The plan also calls for additional Stadler trains and a crosstown line

If you don't have at least 1 million people within a 30km radius of your city, you live in a rural poophole. You should move. Test it for yourself: tomforth.co.uk/circlepopulat…
