something culture warriors don’t get is that companies going “woke” often corresponds to shifting business strategy (i.e. moving into new markets) . Civ is gonna sell lots of little DLCs, & people will be a lot more interested in buying england than mississippi.
Shipping Civ VII without England/Britain (unless you count the Normans) is like shipping it without Rome or Egypt. England is the number two most important civilization in world history, second only to Rome. The game is incomplete without them

Canadian economy is basically rentier. urban land use, mineral extraction, oil, lumber, etc. it’s easier Canadian elites to support policies to make them individually rich enough to be on par with American elites, but are largely sabotaging the population.
Think tariffs are harmful? Per @nationalbank Canada's interprovincial trade barriers are equivalent to a 21% tariff. Removing them could raise Canadian GDP per capita by 3.8%. Let's demand our leaders fix this.

inability to map basic conceptual models to their real world application is why people think math isn’t real. tbh i’m not sure this is teachable.

it’s housing. or rather, the inability for the most ardent liberals to identify the ways in which the city governments have helped them in material ways. people like helping special interest groups (immigrants, homeless, etc.), but not if the core priorities are ignored
Agreed. Conservatism in general is a lot more popular than Trump specifically. Democrats who would never dream of supporting Trump are becoming more conservative with respect to urban issues and cultural issues.

i hate that he’s right
Manhattan used to be full of working-class families, and too many have had to move out as housing prices went up.
We're going to build 100,000 new homes in the next decade to reach a total of 1 MILLION homes in Manhattan.
Our vision is called “The Manhattan Plan.”

Taiwan must shift to a wartime economy. This is not needed for a long blockade, but rather a full invasion under fire. Taiwan must look inward for its salvation as America will not defend the defenseless.

@MarkLevineNYC we should really add more crosstown protected bike lanes downtown (particularly FIDI/Chinatown/LES). Connecting the greenways with protected bike lanes would make bike commuting a lot easier and a lot safer.
@parcel_app is there a way to filter delivery destinations? I want to integrate with amazon, but its a shared account and don't want notifications for everyone else's deliveries.

@Noahpinion do you think we should continue with priority distribution of vaccines? Or is rollout too slow. IMO it was a good idea, but lacks logistical follow through and should be released to the general public for fastest distribution.
Yet another reason to be a YIMBY, high cost homes stop people from having the kids they’d otherwise want. 10% increase in value is a 1.5% decrease in birth rate: SF home prices increased by 90% zillow.com/research/birth-ra…
I want to believe!
