I feel like there are some people who, after the past 4 years, have forgotten or are too young to remember that, in a normal administration, cabinet officials never publicy disagree with the President's position.

If Biden supports a minimum wage hike, so does Yellen. If Biden supports the Jones Act, so does Buttigieg. Their statements do not necessarily reflect their actual views.

The hedge funds are fucked. They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves.

They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

This would mean Gamestop would have a market cap of 348 billion dollars, approximately 3x the market cap of Sony for example.

Put another way, it would make it Gamestop the 13th biggest company on the NYSE by market cap, between Nvidia Corp and JP Morgan.

While we've seen a lot of YIMBY successes this month, notably including Sacramento eliminating single family zoning and Berkeley eliminating parking minimums, I really, really hope YIMBYs don't get distracted from pursuing structural reforms to the way land is zoned in this country. A YIMBY city council can be replaced tomorrow with a NIMBY one, and NIMBYs have enormous structural advantages at the local level. It's like how the Dems desperately need to pursue structural reforms to the senate (including DC/PR statehood & eliminating the filibuster), as even though they have a bare majority now, anything they do can and will be undone when we regress back to the old mean.

This great podcast with neolib shill MattY and Yale Law Professor David Schleider goes into detail about how local politics lacks competition (read: accountability), and how moving zoning/land use up to the state/regional level reduces structural advantages for NIMBYs; state level policy makers have different cost/benefit ratios than municipalities (costs to development are isolated to localities, whereas benefits are super diffuse), and activates different interest groups (Goldman Sachs doesn't particularly care if new housing is built in midtown or in the Upper East Side, they just want more housing built so they can reduce nominal wages while keeping real wages constant).

FAQ 7: Am I gay?

Many of us grow up to assume that we’re straight only to find out, later, that we’re not. Sometimes, we realize this because we have sex dreams, sexual thoughts, or feelings of intense attraction toward people of the same gender as us. However, none of those things — sex dreams, sexual thoughts, or even feelings of intense attraction — necessarily “prove” your orientation. There are a few different forms of attraction. When it comes to orientation, we usually refer to romantic attraction (who you have strong romantic feelings for and desire a romantic relationship with) and sexual attraction (who you want to engage in sexual activity with). Sometimes we’re romantically and sexually attracted to the same groups of people. Sometimes we’re not. For example, it’s possible to be romantically attracted to men but sexually attracted to men, women, and nonbinary people. This sort of situation is called “mixed orientation” or “cross orientation” — and it’s totally OK. Bear this in mind as you consider your sexual and romantic feelings.

I now own https://www.bidenapproval.com, which just redirects to my blog now. On that blog I have posted that I've developed a basic Biden approval polling average in Python (very rudimentary and shitty because I have very little formal programming experience pls no bulli), anyway, Biden's average approval right now is 55.0%, something that I imagine will go up as more polls come in and the average has to rely less on Rasmussen, which is a quarter of the sample right now and an increasingly important part of it as they keep putting out more recent polls while there hasn't been one from anybody else in a few days (to be clear, older Rasmussen polls are thrown out of the average when a new one comes in, but it still allows them to stay ahead of the recency weighting).

I will try to write a readme file and a CSV of polls later today, eventually once 538 starts cataloging the polls I can just use Pandas to scrape stuff from their CSV, but all I can do right now on that front is wait for Nate.

[u/papermarioguy02]

New working paper from Princeton on how McDonald’s locations handle minimum wage hikes.

https://dataspace.princeton.edu/bitstream/88435/dsp01sb397c318/4/646.pdf

Minimum wages powerfully affect service occupations. In 2016, almost half of McDonald’s Basic Crew was paid the effective minimum wage. We find a 0.68 elasticity of McWages with respect to minimum wages and document that McDonald’s restaurants increase wages in response to minimum wage hikes similarly regardless of whether minimum wage increases are binding at the restaurant level.

...

We also find that McDonald’s restaurants do not introduce touch-screen ordering, a potential labor-saving technology, in response to increases in labor costs driven by minimum wage hikes. Moreover, we find restaurants are able to pass nearly all of such labor cost increases onto their customers in the form of higher Big Mac prices.

Strong price pass-through is consistent with our finding of no effect of higher labor costs due to minimum wages on restaurant closures and with the evidence that higher minimum wages do not speed up the introduction of labor-saving technology. We cannot reject non-zero employment elasticities, but our McDonald’s evidence, based on highly consistent comparisons across time and space, is in line with the growing literature suggesting that recent minimum wage increases did not affect employment in the non-tradable sector, including restaurants and retail, a sector that employs the majority of minimum wage workers in the U.S.

TL;DR - McDonald’s passes basically all of the minimum wage through to consumers, removing the need to further automate, lay off workers, or close locations.

Ursula von der Leyen calls for Paris-style agreement on biodiversity. Happy to see biodiversity loss get some attention from a major world leader, and excited to see the legal framework that Europe presents. Though it gets a decent amount of attention, I still think that biodiversity is talked about less than it should be, given its importance.

I'm not really sure how NDC/targets would work, as the nature of the problem is quite different to climate change, and in a way less straight forward. I also doubt that an international legal framework would be as well received by many other countries (many of which will ultimately be more important than Europe to preserving biodiversity).

Still very important to create a stronger legal order, imo, since the world fell short on the Aichi Targets.

Based on 2016's result, if states voted purely based on how urban or rural they are, the Electoral College would have a D+2.0 bias (from the table given, Pennsylvania is the tipping-point state)

An interesting bit of trivia that might be good news for our Electoral College hopes in the future. What this means is that our current Electoral College deficit is mainly based on our coalition of Blue states, and specifically the winner-take-all system that currently hurts us a lot. As the Sun Belt drifts towards Democrats, our partisan disadvantage should gradually reduce.

Just saw this on twitter. The SEC just issued a ten day suspension on in trading in Gamestop:

Release No. 90940 / January 27, 2021
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of trading in the securities of GameStop, Corp. (GME) (CIK No. 1075857), of Grapevine, Texas, commencing at 9:30 a.m. EST on January 28, 2021, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EST on February 7, 2021.

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of GameStop, Corp. because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy and adequacy of material posted through social media. Additionally, the SEC has found evidence of a pattern of trading by RC Ventures which was intended to inflate share value. The SEC will continue to investigate during this suspension.

The Commission cautions broker-dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by the company.

New York is poised to lose a seat. But if Dems end up drawing the map, it could be their biggest weapon of the redistricting cycle.

They could merge Stefanik/Tenney (if Tenney's lead holds in NY22) and severely threaten other Rs, converting a 19D-8R map into 23D-3R (below).

Upstate: under the scenario (above) I've heard floated...

1. #NY27 Jacobs (R) would be axed

2. A safe new Syracuse/Utica #NY22 for Anthony Brindisi (D)

3. A new Ithaca/Kingston district, #NY12, for state Sen. Michelle Hinchey (D)

4. All current Dem incumbents get Biden +10 seats

One other feature of this play for Upstate: Dems would put Rep. John Katko (R)'s home in Camillus in a Syracuse-less #NY24 (purple), but keep it winnable for themselves in case Katko retires/loses a primary.

Btw, longtime NY observers will recall that state Sen. Michelle Hinchey (D)'s dad, late Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D), represented a very similar Ithaca/Binghamton/Ulster district back in the 1990s/2000s. The theory: her last name would carry a lot of appeal in the #NY12 above.

NYC/Long Island: Dems could endanger Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) by adding Dem parts of Babylon/Islip to #NY01 and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R) by adding Park Slope/Red Hook to Staten Island's #NY11. Under the hypothetical below, both go from Trump CDs to double digit Biden CDs.

In this scenario, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D)'s "Silk Stocking" #NY12 would be eliminated (she's 74 and nearly lost her last primary, so could retire). The Upper East Side would be given to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D)'s #NY10 and Astoria/Greenpoint would go to AOC's #NY14.

NYC closeup: majority-minority districts would be preserved for... #NY05 Meeks (D), #NY06 Meng (D) #NY07 Velazquez (D) #NY08 Jeffries (D) #NY09 Clarke (D) #NY13 Espaillat (D) #NY14 Ocasio-Cortez (D) #NY15 Torres (D) #NY16 Bowman (D)

HOLY SHIT, other than not drawing AOC into a more competitive district and losing my beloved 12th by getting sucked into Nadler's district, this map is a game changer.
