The economy is very good for entry-level workers! And young workers don’t have much direct experience of other economic conditions, anyway. The thing that tells them “this is better/worse than before” is primarily received narratives.
Replying to @whstancil
yeah true millennials and gen z definitely don’t experience the economy every single day of their lives. they just sit home and watch TikTok videos about it.

A perfect illustration of my point! People’s views of the economy are being shaped by received narratives about some bygone age of universal prosperity. Those narratives are often incomplete or just plain wrong, but they’ve been absorbed in meme-like fashion. It’s just this:
Received narratives!! You're talking about *economic history* Will. Yes, Gen Z has only known this economy, but they are perfectly capable of reading about a time in the not too distant past when a single income could buy a house and support a family of four.

Williamson County in person turnout is at around 10% of 2022 turnout and 5% of registered voters, significantly better than previous constitutional amendment elections. As usual, the sun city retirement community in Georgetown is WAY ahead of everybody else.

I don't think the best way to support BDS is to take it upon yourself, as a random social media user, to keep finding new companies to add to the banned list. This transforms boycott from a calculated strategy towards an achievable end into an impulsive moralism.

21 years ago today Paul Wellstone, the progressive champion and US Senator from Minnesota, passed away along with his wife, daughter and a number of staff. Wellstone famously said "We all do better, when we all do better." Tragic day for our country.

Density map of the recent Polish election - shows that there is always more to the story than the surface. A normal map shows the historical Partition borders but the truth is that the opposition coalition's most powerful vote centers are in Poland's cities, big and small.
