This isn't new succ, it's predictable based on his pre-existing writings, for context, which I hadn't looked up before. https://www.cfr.org/article/presidential-candidates-iran-nuclear-deal However, I kind of assumed that even Joe Biden wouldn't be so terrible as to say "no, you go first" and pretending that it made any sense.

It was better when there was a constant stream of succ news rather than slower, more intermittent news on the latest succ thing Biden did, because the thread ruminates when there isn't any news

A Bakers Cousin posted:Oh God they are going all in on the 20s-30s fonts and styles "We heard the term 'New Deal' was trending, and as you can see from this [Cuphead], this [Disney's latest style of drawing Mickey Mouse], and this, it's plain to see that the retro aesthetic is making a comeback. So we introduced into the graphics for our tepid proposals some New Deal aesthetics, and that'll make inroads into the 18-29 demographic."

CNN posted:Raising the federal hourly minimum wage to $15 would reduce poverty -- but would also cut employment by 1.4 million workers and increase the federal deficit by $54 billion over a decade, according to a Congressional Budget Office report released Monday. The last time I looked for citable information on job loss statistics from minimum wage, I came across a 2018 report by the National Bureau of Economic Research which put two-thirds weight on a zero impact estimate and a one-third weight on a high-end impact estimate to come up with an estimate of 0.49 million jobs lost to the minimum wage rising from $5.15 to $7.25 over 1999 to 2016, in the context of 1.4 million jobs lost toward automation and 2.65 million manufacturing jobs lost toward trade with China. I guess that was a long time ago, and now that Democrats are back in power, it's time for a round of new minimum wage studies.

Raccooon posted:lol was succzone really killed because it hurt D&D and some mods feelings? I don't really get it. They can probe the succ zoners who post in D&D if they want, but I don't really get banning discussion of D&D posts. Just as C-SPAM don't have to post in there, they don't have to look in C-SPAM. It can be like a separate website. It's just that they're similar to Trump in that they can't help going to places to find out who's talking about them.

CNN: "Biden brings centrism and a big-time vaccine promise to town hall" "Biden's missteps paled in comparison to the hurricane of lies that regularly dominated Trump's appearances" All the Biden defenders on social media who think centrism is a slur would probably not like that headline, but some of them watch cable news as their #1 news source that it was probably more about it coming from someone further left

Complications posted:https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1361867090848718854 The transcriber who tweeted should have wrote "big" instead of "bid", and based on the context Biden meant to say either "there's isn't such a thing as spending too much" or "we can't possibly be spending enough", not that he was trying to say that those economists supported austerity. Biden's austerity hammer is going drop sometime, though

Gee golly, since our members of Congress are such good people, I sure bet they'd change their minds on a lot of things if a lot of people wrote to them using the right words, and if all of us set our minds to coming up with them, we could get done just about anything!

But of the workers it thought may be unauthorized, 22 percent were actually legal. National Immigration Law Center posted:Working women are more vulnerable to experiencing an E-Verify error. E -Verify errors can result from “name inconsistencies” on various authorizing documents. These name inconsistencies can result from name changes, most commonly because of marriage or divorce. Additionally, name inconsistencies can result from the use of surnames or other culturally defined name-use practices. This can result in E-Verify’s errors potentially having a disparate impact on cultural groups[2] and pose problems for women from these cultures.

I don't think it even makes much sense as a hypocrisy call-out. If you assume for a moment that libertarians are right about spending being bad or whatever, there's no reason for them not to claim whatever of it they can for their district. It's the underlying assumption that's the problem.

Louisgod posted:he's a huge piece of loving poo poo who enables liberals to feel complacent in their boring white middle class lives of comfort disconnected from any actual suffering and are surprised when their political action of doing absolutely nothing but the bare minimum (if that), which includes putting black lives matter 8x11 papers in the living room windows of their 3,000 square ft. houses, leads to a fascist being elected because god forbid we do anything to improve the lives of the labor class or cheat at politics like the gop. It's ironic that these people are the ones who most readily support politicians who at best come closest to saying "Black Lives Matter" by showing up on camera with "B" "L" and "M" alphabet blocks in a cubby hole in the background behind them, like it's a Hidden Mickey, and they feel even better about this than if they outright said it, because it makes them feel smart for having figured out a puzzle, like dogwhistling being the best a politician can do toward the left is a way of gifting their followers with a fun Alternate Reality Game

It felt analogous to saying "Janet Yellen took a bribe" instead of saying "Janet Yellen's speaking fees are a gross conflict of interest". It just sets up "What do you mean? oh, that" and you lose people. It's like the sitcom moment where a child makes up something much worse than what actually happened to try to convince a parent to not react as strongly toward having done something bad ... except the opposite
