Yesterday in Humboldt Park, ICE goons pulled weapons on teenage activists Ben and Sam Luhmann. Just a month prior one had shoved 16-year-old Sam to the ground for legally filming their activities in Joliet, IL. The courage of these brothers is unmatched.

“This will determine if the socialist (derogatory) arm of the Democratic Party has any real power” (Three days later) oh well that’s meaningless, obviously they don’t

He said he'll vote against the entire supplemental budget if the city votes to use $250,000 in funding for cameras, which will otherwise go completely unused, to pay for community violence interruptors (the amendment was from Joy Hollingsworth).

I also think it's important to recognize that in a lot of areas where this is most prevelent price and quality are a lot less correlated than they once were. Sure quality is always gonna be more expensive but a lot of expensive stuff these days is just a fancy brand name slapped on cheap crap

d) consumers do not choose the ownership characteristics of who produces media about consumer products, they only choose between the media offerings e) Consumers do not choose the media distribution channels that offer information about consumer products, they only choose a distribution channel

b) consumers do not choose how goods are distributed, they only choose between distribution channels. This is also crucially different c) consumers do not choose their incomes or overall income distribution. also crucial.

I think this is fundamentally wrong but in an interesting way I will need to write about sometime. The key is a) consumers do not choose what is produced, or how, they choose between what is produced. This is a crucial difference

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
