Fantastic comment. I wish we could've had more open discussions about specific factual details over the past four years. I'm not a fan of "both-sides"-ism, but it there are definitely plenty of uncomfortable truths to go around for everyone.

If you think we're currently a democracy you're very wrong. Being a democracy means you actually get to vote on things like whether or not we should go to war, whether we should have national health care. We have 0 say in things that matter. That's not a democracy.
Experimentally and experientially, saturated fat has no lasting impact on cholesterol levels. Those are genetically determined. https://www.ketogenicforums.com/t/dave-feldman-its-about-ene...

Serum levels of saturated fat are not related to dietary saturated fat intake. https://news.osu.edu/study-doubling-saturated-fat-in-the-die...

What puts a person at risk for chronic inflammatory diseases is excessive polyunsaturated fatty acid intake; in particular, arachidonic acid. Excerpt: "The Mediterranean diet is low in arachidonic acid and rich in healthy fats such as monounsaturated fats found in extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), nuts and omega-3 fatty acids from fish, which has been shown to lower the risk of inflammation, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity, and other degenerative diseases." https://advancedmolecularlabs.com/blogs/news/new-red-meat-st...

In the middle decades of the 20th Century the heart attack rate was extremely high. Much of that mortality is likely attributable to the release of heavy metals into the environment. Heavy metals such as lead tend to cause arterial plaques to rupture. Excerpt: It must be theoretically expected that there will be a synergistic (multiplicative) interaction between low Se intake (leading to undersaturation of the blood plasma with selenoprotein P), large exposure to toxic heavy metals (which may be expected to lead to simultaneous inhibition of selenoprotein P and extracellular thioredoxin reductase), a high dietary LA/oleic acid intake ratio and high rates of superoxide anion radical production from endothelial NADPH oxidase as causes of more rapid LDL oxidation - with a high rate of LDL oxidation leading in turn to high rates of atheromatosis development. Against this background it is not unreasonable to speculate that excessive exposure to a number of toxic metals from a wide range of different sources may have been one of the main causes of the post-war epidemic of coronary heart disease both in North America and Western Europe. These include lead from car exhaust and from drinking water (especially in the British Isles), as well as mercury and silver from dental amalgam fillings and cadmium from acid rain, commercial fertilizers and tobacco smoke...This hypothesis would appear to be in reasonably good agreement with what is known about the historical curves both for coronary heart disease mortality and for the use of lead as an additive in gasoline in Western Europe, compared to North America. The use of lead as an additive in gasoline started earlier and ended earlier in the United States than it did in the countries of Western Europe. And the epidemic of coronary heart disease has followed a similar time course with both its start and its culmination occurring earlier in the United States than in Western Europe." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3031257/
Sure it’s a vibes based decision. This is how companies are run and always be run. This is _why_ Amazon has a CEO and not a statistical model making decisions.

Anyway your depiction of “disruption” is obviously biased- it’s also equivalent to say _not_ going back to the pre-Covid normal is disrupting the life of employees.
The definition of “disposable income” used in this chart is gross income minus taxes.

I don’t think this corresponds with what most people think that means. i.e. gross income - (taxes + housing costs + food + health/childcare). I certainly didn’t.

If you can point to any video from the last several months where he comes across as charismatic, I'd be genuinely interested to see it. Maybe I've lost touch with what charisma is.
Until it is. But statements like this are why the world as a society is backsliding, countries putting up walls and isolating themselves instead of seeing the benefits of cooperation in terms of stability and economy. Just look at the economic downturn that happened in the UK when they withdrew from the EU, or how Russia was shunned, excluded and sanctioned for starting an unprovoked war.

Any benefit the US thinks they get for the policies that Trump and his ear-whisperers wants to enact will be short-term. Which is not a problem for Trump as he won't be there to see the long term consequences.
Conservatives think that's just a lie. They openly reject the harms that are actively happening right now in Texas.

> My tolerance is predicated on me not giving you money.

Either:

1) You also don't tolerate the below median earner who is native to your country

or

2) Your tolerance is dependent on citizenship not just income

If you're #1, that's a problem for your fellow citizens whom you don't tolerate.

If you're #2, you're telling me to not bring my higher earning skills to your economy.

Doesn't matter if you didn't mean it that way, you still won't get me spending the money I earn on your economy so you won't get rich from me.
Hate is a fairly strong word. I think a more accurate description of the Republican stance on transgenderism at the moment is "don't want to support it at all". And even then, that is almost entirely in reference to children. But it sounds like OP can perfectly well support themselves, so not sure that would be an issue as a member of that group.

Republicans have been increasingly focused on identity politics and Democrats have been avoiding it for only the last year or so as it has become clear that it is a major liability for Democrats. They spent most of the last decade heavily emphasizing identity politics, and it’s become clear to them and everyone else they have been largely out of touch with the average American in that area. Now that there is a rising backlash, they’ve tried to distance themselves but Republicans have years of material to drag out and pin them with. I don’t think they get credit for trying to downplay a long-running strategic blunder in the 11th hour.

I didn’t forget work visas, I just opted to exclude them given their typically steep requirements and how they’re typically sourced through the employer. That takes it out of your direct control, as opposed to the others I mentioned.

My intention was to empower readers to take charge of their outcomes, something work visas aren’t reliable for in most cases (though in HN readers’ cases, it could be a valid one; I will be curious if any big tech employers offer relocation and visa assistance in the coming years).
This sort of holier-than-thou moral take and self-delusion is the reason Democrats lost. It’ll be interesting to see if this losing take disappears because it got summarily defeated, and what new narrative the new-left adopts next.
You mean `open .`
Democrats believe a man who thinks he is a woman is scientifically a woman. They believe in censorship. They believe in supporting and growing the military industrial complex. They believe in a discrimination campaign against whites and Asians, and meanwhile allowing unfettered illegal immigration with the intent of giving amnesty to the millions that entered through the forcibly unguarded border.

They are not centrist by any stretch of the imagination.

We're not only increasing total energy consumption every year, we're increasing energy consumption per capita. It may be one thing if the argument is that energy use will rise or fall inline with population, but that's not the case.

This is the main crux of why climate change debates have always felt hollow to me. We can argue about plastic straws, diesel engine emissions, or what an acceptable level of parts per million in the atmosphere is but those are all surface level problems. Assuming the science linking human impact to climate issues is accurate, we're screwed no matter what we do on those issues if we continue to demand more power from whatever today's preferred energy source is.

Kamala Harris fits just as well: She was so unpopular in 2020 she dropped out before the primaries, then got picked for Vice-President. Then because Biden was in office, she again didn't get votes in the primary this year but instead was selected by the DNC when Biden dropped out.

I live in Finland which is a pretty 'expensive' country, I come from the UK which is less so but not really cheap. I live/lived in the capitals of both countries pretty much exclusively.

I visited the States in 2019 (Boston), and then didn't until last week (NYC).

The level of inflation in the US for everyday things between that time seemed insanely high compared to anything I'd seen in Europe. How anyone couldn't look at the price of rent and food and whatever and think "5 years ago I was paying a lot less" and have that not feed massively into their decision making process at the (private) ballot box is beyond me.
This doesn't paint an accurate picture of socialized healthcare either.

> Obama was chastising black men

Can you quote what Obama said that seems relevant to my post? I doubt he outright insulted anyone.

> And what a surprise that they went hard for Trump instead

According to an exit poll, Black voters voted 86% Democrat this year, compared to 87% at the 2020 election.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...
I don't think the polls lied (lied implies intent). I think a few things happened. Pollsters have a really hard time getting hold of Trump voters for a few reasons: folks are scared to admit they voted for Trump, and those who are proud Trump supporters have such disdain for the media (of which pollsters are a part) that they simply hang up / don't engage.

So, Trump tends to get underrepresented in the polls.

At any rate, the polls showed that there was a dead heat, so this really came down to the margin of error which has historically somewhat favored Trump.
It's also true that MAGA wrecked our economy from 2016-2020

I hope you're not basing this off of the stock market because it was the exact opposite.

The skilled labourers do far more of that than unskilled ones.

> Guess what else happens commonly to unskilled, under-the-table labor? Injuries! Which I have to pay an outsized amount for in the form of Medicaid and ER fees.

The vast majority of the cost of health care is old people, and it's expensive because it's labor intensive. The way to bring health care costs down is to increase the ratio of young people to old people. Which in 2024 means immigration.

You're pointing out a bunch of things that are scary to you, without actually describing how democracy will be lost. The majority of our democracy can be attributed to the constitution, which requires a supermajority to be amended.

I also think you would be pleasantly surprised by the number of people who voted for Trump who would not be happy with the dissolution of democracy.

Also I think you'd be hard-pressed to get a majority of SCOTUS judges to be happy with that.
> They did nothing to help with Women's healthcare.

What about Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act)? I think that helped many women secure healthcare, which is incredibly important during pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood.

> keep abortion legal

As I understand, after the US Supreme Court cancelled (I don't know the correct term) protection abortion rights, many states automatically banned it (via "trigger" laws.) However, I read that many women are using video calls with out-of-state doctors to get prescriptions for (chemical) abortion pills. I wish I had more hard numbers on it, but the number of abortions has not fallen as much as people thought. Also, depending upon your income level and proximity to a neighboring state that still allows traditional (surgical) abortion, many women drive to the next state for the procedure.
There’s a simple argument - the USA can obviously support some level of immigration - at the bare minimum the difference between current births and the replacement birth rate - and just as obviously it can’t stably take in half a billion people a year. Somewhere in between there must be a gradual cutoff where it becomes “too much”.

Most opponents of immigration say we’ve passed that mark and either need to compensate to solve the issues caused by it, or dial the number back.
I don't get what you're trying to prove with Obama's quote. Is pointing out the existence of a sexist bias the same as taking an anti-men stance? Is being anti-racist the same as being anti-white? If some believe those things then right-wing propaganda really has succeded into making their brains impervious to logic, and I'm afraid nothing the democrats can say will undo that.
The left and the Democrats has become so far left and radical that their party didn’t resonate with everyday Americans for the past several years.
"Can everyone acknowledge" is such a weird phrase, just like "can we all agree". No, we can't, this isn't how things work, everyone has a right to their own opinion etc.

Your first paragraph should be printed, framed, and put in a museum as a perfect example of why the Biden-Harris messaging around the economy fell flat. Nobody gives a shit if unemployment is down and GDP is up when a pizza that was $10 3 years ago is $15 now. The answer to someone saying that they can't afford as much as they could a few years ago is not to tell them that they're wrong.

Her housing credit suggestion a) was less than the amount the median home price increased by under Biden, and b) would have only served to increase the price of housing further by increasing the supply of money available, exactly the same thing ZIRP did.

Question (to self, currently researching)... Which capabilities? Released when? I ask because Apple Intelligence has expanded the use of audio transcription features.

Answer: `hear` uses SFSpeechRecognizer [1] which has been available since macOS 10.15. I'm not yet sure how it relates to Apple Intelligence transcription services.

Note: "speech recognition is a network-based service" which perhaps suggests Apple Intelligence (the marketing term, not an Apple Developer term, I don't think) uses it as well

From a game theory perspective, Trump is like a 2/2 MTG card that deals 10 damage to yourself when played.

Trump, personally, will not do much to contribute to the Republican cause. Trump's contributions will mostly be saying dumb things that get his opposition riled up and energized to vote against him next time. He's also going to be a very old sundowning president--it's Republican's turn to defend that.
Most of the prices going up for young and healthy people is just the math insurance companies have to do when they can't deny people and have to provide more coverage.

The part where we don't have the free healthcare system is mostly due to politicians being afraid of socialism or being afraid of raising taxes or both and a very strong medical lobby that doesn't want the salaries of doctors (very high over here) to drop.

In America you generally only see "Far X" used as a slur to basically imply extremism.

You can miss me with that last part, because I have to assume malice on the part of those who try to steer discourse around vocabulary or policy nuance rather than acknowledge the binary reality of the question.
Well, if you remember the 2016 elections, Trump was saying that the economy was extremely bad and disastrous. Then, within his first month of presidency, suddenly, the same numbers were extremely good because of him.
During the Obama presidency, there had been a growth of 227000 jobs per month which became a growth of only 36000 jobs during the Trump years. During the last two years of Obama, the annual median household increased $4800, but only $1400 during the first two years of Trump. And then, under Biden the same annual median income was of $3250. And I could go on like that, except on the house prices which is the area where the pattern does not stand.
So there are two things here:
- Even if has been saying for the last months/years that the economy was a disaster,Trump will say within the first month of his presidency that the economy is already doing better immediately, while the numbers will be the very same at first. And when the economy will falter later on just like during his first term, his supporters won't mind because...
- This election was not at all about the economy. This argument is an excuse for the real reasons why many Americans vote: more and more are susceptible to the cult of personality and to the progression of the most radical right-wing extremism ideas.
