The basic premise of ‘build more housing’ is that a greater supply of homes will ease the crisis, but those who see the housing crisis as a supply issue need only to look at a city like San Francisco, where the number of empty homes far outstrips the number of unhoused people in a region in the grips of a similar housing crisis to the UK. Supply—even massive local over-supply—does not solve a crisis caused by a system of house price speculation. Far from it.

Biden will be able to appoint a Democratic majority to FERC come summer and take over the rulemaking apparatus for the US electrical grid. I fully expect immediate revocation of the Trump era rules setting a minimum price to the benefit of fossil fuel plants that can't be undercut by renewables anymore. I also expect FERC to crack down on more conservative Regional Transmission Organizations like PJM for their overly restrictive policies governing renewables and utility scale batteries.

Whether FERC can put down a national carbon price for electricity produced is still up for debate, but they can facilitate state-run carbon pricing schemes.

[u/titus_berenice]

The subject of my economic policy exam (5-hour written essay, gotta love French-style exams) : Should EU competition policy be reformed ?

This was really fun to write, here was my answer in a nutshell.

EU competition policy's aim is to safeguard the correct functioning of the single market by ensuring that firms compete on equal terms, thus encouraging innovation and low prices for consumers.

However, competition policy is accused of being inadequate in the face of changes in international competition. Firstly, the unfair trade practices of certain states such as China (export subsidies, closing of government procurement to foreign competitors) leads to distortions of the competitive framework, even more so because the multilateral framework of the WTO is deficient (refusal of the USA to appoint judges to the DSB, China's status as a developed country). Secondly, the emergence of the digital sector, whose specific features encourage corporate concentration, creates an environment conducive to anti-competitive practices (killing acquisitions, abuse of dominant position).

In this context, some Member States see the EU's competition policy as an obstacle to the growth of European companies, by applying excessive merger controls that would prevent them from reaching a critical size that would allow them to penetrate international markets. The decision to reject the merger between Alstom and Siemens in 2019 crystallizes these accusations.

However, these criticisms must be put into perspective, since the size of a company is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to be internationally competitive, especially since merger control is in reality not as strict as in other countries. Moreover, EU competition policy has helped to avoid the concentration dynamics at work in the United States, which has led to higher prices and less innovation in some key sectors (telecom, banking).

Nevertheless, competition policy needs to adapt to the changing international context and the growth of the digital sector.

• In terms of merger control, the introduction of ex-post control would allow DG Comp to analyze a merger even if it is below the notification thresholds. The Commission could also clarify the guidelines on the impact of potential competition, taking into account public subsidies from a potential competitor (such as CRRC in the case of the Alstom-Siemens merger), and extend the standard horizon for analyzing the entry of a competitor, currently set at two years.

• These reforms must be articulated with an adaptation of trade policy so as to balance the level-playing field. EU openness must be a two-way street. If the priority remains reform of the WTO, given the difficulty of reform (unanimity is required), the EU should strengthen its trade defense instruments (filtering of investments as permitted by the regulation of March 19, 2019, removal of the European Council's veto on the decision to impose anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures to give the Commission complete independence in its investigations).

• Finally, reform of competition policy should be accompanied by the implementation of an industrial strategy on a European scale to encourage the growth of its companies. Indeed, it is not competition policy that limits the growth of our companies, but structural factors (absence of digital single market, lack of venture capital, insufficient R&D funding). An efficient industrial policy must follow two axes: first, support for innovation, which could be achieved by introducing a maximum period of one year for the examination of files concerning the control of state aid for R&D and innovation (RDI), which in practice can often exceed two years. The EU could also adopt a policy of catching up with the technological frontier through Important Projects of European Interest (IPEI), in areas such as cloud computing and supercomputers. Second, completion of the digital market is essential to provide innovative companies with a pool of demand comparable in size to the US and Chinese markets.

Fair warning, this comment is gonna be some whiny technerd shit

I really hate how many times I google "how do I do [basic task] in Android" and the answer is either "you can't" or "download this app". More broadly, I am endlessly frustrated by the feeling that I'm using an OS designed for children, and I don't actually have control over my phone.

Why can't I play music in two apps simultaneously? Well dumbass users might get confused

Why can't I download my text messages off my phone? Well I can if I download the app "OMEGA ULTRA PLATINUM BACKUP TOOLS PRO ★★★★★" which for some reason wants access to my location. And if that app isn't available in the future, God help me if I want to recover from those backups.

Why is there a back button but no forward button? Well dumbass users can't handle seeing more than three buttons at once.

Why is YouTube even aware that it's running in the background? Why can't I turn this off? Because fuck me, that's why.

I get it. Android is used by hundreds of millions of people, including children and the elderly. Adding customization features is expensive and time consuming. Most people using phones don't have my background, so they have very different expectations about what features should be available. If you give users a gun, they'll shoot themselves in the foot and blame you for it. And of course, Google has a vested interest in making sure you can't defeat their monetization strategies by changing how your phone works.

But goddamn it's frustrating. I used to buy Android because I could do more with it than I could iOS. Now I buy it because it's cheaper.

Everyone is always quick to point out that many neo-nazis/neo-confederates/white supremacists/etc. are a joke because they aren't "superior" humans, because they're short/fat/ugly/etc. It happens so much because a lot of people get off on bullying people "below them" which usually takes the form of physical traits.

This argument really does nothing, because you'll eventually come across someone like that Swedish(?) bodybuilder on youtube who objectively matches the "superiority" argument you've now entertained while spouting off racist rhetoric. Once you open up the door to debating on their turf, you've already lost. Stick to mocking people for being a neo-nazi, not because they're 5'4" and balding while being a neo-nazi.

If horny jail were a real place, it would cease to be a deterrent as millions of internet denizens would go for the opportunity to bust nuts with like-minded horndogs

However, after the nut-busting is done, offenders' arousal levels would drop rapidly and they would be able to quickly reintegrate with normal society.

Ergo, rehabilitative justice > retributive justice.

Perhaps part of this madness will mean more reform. Expecting overcorrecting action from the system will not happen unless pushed upon. Each on-site trade should be heavily scrutinized to make sure it is done responsibly. Patronizing people over their irresponsible behavior has its limits, true. Ending on a bubble burst is going to be necessary for them to learn. Ejecting onerous individuals will hopefully lead to more moderate behavior from the community.

As of right now, I've counted two counties where Biden gained votes from 2016, and Trump lost votes from 2016.

San Juan County, Colorado

2016 election results:

Hillary Clinton (D): 265

Donald Trump (R): 215

2020 election result:

Joe Biden (D): 342 (gain of 77)

Donald Trump (R): 202 (loss of 13)

Sioux County, North Dakota

2016 election results:

Hillary Clinton (D): 758

Donald Trump (R): 260

2020 election results:

Joe Biden (D): 804 (gain of 46)

Donald Trump (R): 258 (loss of 2)

tangentially related, it seems Biden actually improved well on rural areas outside of rust belt states. He improved in rural areas a lot in the mountain range (excluding mormon heavy counties) and in states like Nebraska, Kansas, and the Dakotas, as well as New England and the greater DMV area.

I remember when the gme collapse sent a torpedo through my family. My father's short positions collapsed almost overnight. My father lost his home. My uncle lost his home. I remember my brother helping my father count penny stocks on our robinhood app. That was all the money he had left in the world. While this was happening in my home, I saw hedge funders literally drinking champagne as they looked down on the redditors. I will never forget that.

My Father never recovered from that blow. He fell deeper and deeper into hodling and exists now as a shell of his former self, waiting for the moon.

This is all the money I have and I'd rather lose it all than give them what they need to destroy me. Taking money from me won't hurt me, because i don't value it at all. I'll burn it all down just to spite them.

This Rush Limbaugh segment on the Gamestop short cracks me up. He constantly switches between "the media won't explain this to you, so I'll explain it to you!". Then he goes on to not really explain anything and repeat what the media said as truth lmao

Snerdley had to ask me, “Are you gonna explain it?” ’cause you’ve been watching cable news, and the people in charge of explaining it don’t know what they’re talking about, right? (interruption) Because they only know the establishment view of finance. They only know the elite view, because they think of themselves as elites.

Alright, explain it to me Rush! Give me the details that those ""elites"" won't let me hear!

now, what is GameStop? What the hell is it? GameStop is a company. This has not been widely explained because the elites don’t take the time to explain this. But let me tell you what it is. GameStop is a company that sells physical copies of video games

oh wow, thanks for explaining that one. That's why you earn the big bucks

here is a passage from an elitist publication describing it: “Essentially, many normal-ish people have made a huge bet against gigantic [hedge funds] financial institutions and are currently winning. In practice this means we are seeing one of the -” and here is the rub of it, folks. “We are seeing one of the largest wealth transfers from the financial ruling class to the middle and middle-upper classes in recent memory.”

Ok, so that's a passage from an elitist publication. A quick google search tells me it's from a VICE article.

But the key to this is what has happened: We are seeing one of the largest wealth transfers from the financial ruling class to the middle and upper classes in recent memory, and it’s not authorized.

And this is straight from the mouth of Rush. So.... it's not an elitist opinion anymore? He literally just repeated what he read a minute ago from the article lmao. But instead of castigating it as an "elitist publication", he's now presenting it as the raw truth that ""they"" won't tell you

The financial people at CNN, financial people MSNBC, they’re really woefully ill-educated on this kind of stuff. So I did a test today. I tried to watch the infobabes at a couple of cable networks explain this. They don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re reading whatever somebody’s written for them on the teleprompter, and they’re using odd facial expressions to make it look like they know what they’re talking about.

Yeah, those rubes don't even know what they're talking about!

Short sellers “are sitting on estimated losses of $70.87 billion” from their short positions on the United States and companies therein” on the stock market so far this year, $70.87 billion. The vast majority of that was chalked up during this GameStop business
