Yeah this is what happens when you assign a political story to either a junior staffer or AI who doesn't understand that Maryland doesn't have periods between the M and the D, and that Bill Cassidy is a medical doctor from Louisiana.
You're not gonna do an effective takedown on the former Chicago Public School teacher with that kind of grammar @bloomberglp.bsky.social
But here's how the quoted essay actually concludes
Anthony L. Fisher@anthonylfisher.bsky.social · 8mo ago"Overall, this data does not really support Savage’s material thesis. Ambitious white men in their thirties have not seen much, if any, decline over this period. Their overall employment is up. Their employment in the arts and media is unchanged. Educational attainment is up."

Anyone have any spots in your fantasy basketball league? Our old one collapsed bc of of the government shutdown. (Actually the Commish had a heart attack. But that was, I assume bc of the shutdown. ) Seriously, we're here to help and fill holes.
Word count on this is 381 words including "indictment" and "True Bill" - any federal lawyers seen a shorter indictment? I'm sincerely unsure how common this is
