This is the perfect dumb neoliberal idea. You know how easy it is to recruit lifeguards? There's huge swathes of high school and college students who are looking for a job, and are fit, capable swimmers. Just sponsor their certification in return for a summer's employment!

Cuomo's spokesperson literally said that the campaign *supports* increased housing prices and they had ChatGPT draft his housing plan. Yglesias and Johnson's commitment to negative polarization and hatred of the left is far stronger than any supposed commitment to YIMBYism

Doing "our traditional culture" stuff for throwing bags of trash on the sidewalk is so funny. I think New Yorkers should start defending sweatshops with blocked emergency exits as part of their municipal traditions next

My favorite part of this is not the fact that they're bragging over saving 0.00000097% of the State Department budget, but that they had to include a "yucky" vegetable like broccoli in the graphic. DOGE really not beating the annoying children allegations

In the past 6 months, Polis has celebrated RFK Jr.'s appointment to HHS, vetoed overwhelmingly popular bills to put Colorado's workers on an even playing field with employers, and ensured landlords can price-gouge using rent-fixing software, yet he's still celebrated by some Dems

New York Times today: Elon Musk was so so high all the time that he had urinary issues and he totes around a pill box to get through the day Matt Yglesias: Well, I do disagree with him, but at the end of the day Elon Musk is just a smart, hard worker

Starting to believe that Democratic staffers really are too online

Man who went on the stump for Tom Cotton, saying Cotton is “interested in advancing a vision of the country’s future and the appropriate role government should play" and who donated repeatedly to Jim Jordan is lecturing the left on party loyalty lmao

This is signaling to the Abundance agenda's Silicon Valley paymasters. Indistinguishable from the DOGE belief that being a smart enough STEM person means you can ignore political debates
