I’m increasingly convinced that all services and most jobs would be improved with more staff. Literally, just more people.

More people sitting around getting paid with nothing to do, until there is in fact something to do.

Pay people to staff all those windows at the post office and bank and then celebrate no lines. Pay people to bus the tables, and other people to seat the guests, and still more people to take the orders and run the food.

I’m so tired of seeing one person doing it all

RT @stevenmazie: The other shoe keeps dropping.

A key point: Thomas *did* report a $5000 gift from someone else to pay tuition for this boy. But not a word ever about the ~$150k from Crow. Hard to see how that’s not a willful omission. https://t.co/OmoSpmOcXl

RT @sylvia_nyc: we live in a world where yelling about being hungry is considered more violent than being left hungry. Where unhoused people existing in public space is considered more dangerous than someone murdering them in front of all of us.

RT @drvolts: Wild how much America's gun "debate" relies on the public's ignorance of very basic facts like this. https://t.co/CKV95Wb6cE

The Surprising Geography of Gun Violence

America’s regions are poles apart when it comes to gun deaths and the cultural and ideological forces that drive them.

RT @HeerJeet: I'm surprised more billionaires don't buy supreme court justices. It seems easy and low risk (since the system won't do anything).

RT @imillhiser: I think the most scandalous thing about this whole Clarence Thomas situation is that the Supreme Court holds itself to a lower ethical standard than pretty much every working professional. https://t.co/RNEOcZBn0i

“wonder how the NFL would react if it turned out a billionaire fan of a specific football team had been flying an official around to vacation with other fans of that team”

RT @JStein_WaPo: Pretty remarkable that America temporarily constructed a safety net during Covid — including major health care coverage, food benefits, anti poverty funding for families

RT @MaxKennerly: It has been "deeply unwise" to let elite impunity fester for decades to the point that a former President and current Presidential candidate feels comfortable repeatedly committing crimes and indeed often brags about them.

The wise course is to enforce the law against elites. https://t.co/u8mtzDv0Xg

RT @GeorgeCrudo: we all tried a giant WFH experiment. Not only did it show that it was, obviously possible, but people were happier with the flexibility AND more productive. the idea that so many companies saw those results and went "ok everyone NEEDS to come back to the office now" is deranged
