I'm told they'll have to rebrand to Kars 4 Yids in order to resume operations
Kars4Kids has been banned from advertising in California as it has been deemed deceptive by a judge for helping exclusively Orthodox Jewish kids in the New York and New Jersey areas despite having eight year old actors of all races singing their jingle. static1.squarespace.com/stat…

Regarding the DoorDash discourse, I think people are a bit overconfident in their reading of BLS data. Here's the survey from 1996. Notice it doesn't mention takeout or restaurant delivery at all; the only reference to delivery is actually for food at home:

Talking to 21 billionaires about a tax proposal, and getting not a single one to be quoted by name, is almost impressive—the journalistic equivalent of Houston missing 27 three-pointers in a row against Golden State

The anti-woke outrage at the Sinners nominations would be more compelling if the previous record-holder hadn't been La-La Land, another movie that nobody actually likes, but a super-white one.

Interestingly, Vance's biggest champion at Yale Law School was Amy Chua, who was known specifically for mentoring minority and first-generation students—helping them get jobs, clerkships, or, in Vance's case, book deals that would set them on the path to the Vice Presidency
A lot of people think "DEI" is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games. In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men. This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences:

I am not disagreeing with this, just noting that this type of thing — making arguments about policy based on how business entities will react to it — is generally classified as "Economics," but when you do the same thing for voters, it's considered to be something separate.

4 (con't). IF developers expect that future politicians will put rent caps on existing units then they won't want to build as many new units today.
