Come for the “Lobster Heist,” stay for the “wrecking the basic capacities of government officials to do their jobs <guaranteeing> the bad government it purports to fix…” Nice work from @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social @gnrosenberg.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2050...
What a Lobster Heist Tells Us About Government Failure
Thieves regularly exploit the tangled, under-regulated freight mess that puts food on your plate. The answer is not more police, but more bureaucrats.

Great article. A bit surprised that the USDA under the current administration hasn’t simply changed the definition/qualification of an urban food desert to make them disappear.

They are worth trying, but are not a guaranteed food security fix. It is the rest of the affordability agenda that can do more for food insecure New Yorkers. newrepublic.com/article/2046...

Jan Dutkiewicz@jandutkiewicz.bsky.social · 8mo agoTwo weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

OK… I think it might finally be time for Disney to sell their theme park division to someone who will operate them with love and care. Disney can license the IP to the new owners. I’m kinda done with this Iger-led bullshit.
The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.
