Teach economics to kids I’m serious

I get that this take wins internet points, but in real life strangers DO participate. As a millennial dad, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told my kids “don’t bother people” only for the stranger to be like “no no, it’s okay.” So I feel like everyone’s a little complicit.

I have this vision of a toy that’s a supply and demand graph where you can push either curve and it moves the equilibrium price. I know this can be easily illustrated with an animation, but I want it to be a physical toy. Would you buy something like this??

If I said Free Britney benefited from Woke 1, would that make sense and would you agree?

For anyone interested in studying real examples of 180 degree rule violations that confuse the viewer, vertical series are rife with them because they notoriously don’t shoot enough coverage.

Might be a hot take, but I think we don’t publicly shame NIMBYs enough.

I rebuke another round of discourse about this matter.

This is not a 180 degree rule break. But the scene in Obsession where Nikki is backlit in Bear’s doorway is.

One of the more aggravating things about being a Britney fan is the way everyone who works for her has always treated us like we were born yesterday.

I have a question about CD13. Both Dylan Kendall and Rich Sarian, in the HAC debate and in interviews with YIMBY LA, said there isn’t much R1 in CD13. Is this true? We’d assumed that Hugo Soto-Martinez buckled under pressure from Hancock Park to vote against the CHIP amendment.

Rode the D

I met my husband walking from downtown LA to the ocean on the @greatlawalk

Two groups stand in the way of housing affordability: those who don’t want it (NIMBY) and those who don’t believe in the solutions (Left NIMBY). Which group is more problematic?

Nephews visited LA when they were 3 and 5, and we had to explain homelessness to them. Never had to explain to my kids because they’ve witnessed it their whole lives.
