Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly
half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and
jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED
the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later,
nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure
housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

".. During a radio interview Saturday .., Bessent said 'tariffs can’t be
inflationary because if the price of one thing goes up -- unless you give people
more money -- then they have less money to spend on the other thing, so there is
no inflation.'" @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/b...

Thinking of this classic tweet by
@ndrew.bsky.social
when I hear complaints about Bluesky. The community is generally left-of-center,
yes, and definitely to the left of X, but I don't think, say, free market views
are shunned here. Is trolling and bigotry all conservative means now? At least
online?

CNN made the choice 8 years ago to cover politics like entertainment in order to
increase its own profits. So it’s only fitting that that short-sighted, greedy
and stupid decision has led to CNN’s downfall. Good fucking riddance.

an overlooked aspect of all these “bluesky is an echo chamber” pieces is that
the writers bizarrely think that the only reason people use social media is to
talk about politics, which is true only for a subset of users

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake
of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of
new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if
it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no,
better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties
influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP
frame every debate.

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that
the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a
headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a
grievance from thin air?
