@ponderwall Yes, minimum wage workers are much poorer than the average person which was also true in the fifties. — PolitiTweet.org

It used to be that you needed a partner to survive, either for the money or for the unpaid labor, so you had to put up with Spouse X's various flaws. These days we're rich and it's much more viable to be single — though this is probably bad for kids. https://t.co/W8zR3UhT3G — PolitiTweet.org

Most middle-class women don't want the 1950s lifestyle for good reasons, but it's not objectively unaffordable for someone with an average husband. Note of course that there are tons of single parents in 2022! In part precisely because material living standards have risen. — PolitiTweet.org

What's true is that college tuition is much more expensive in 2022 than it was in 1962. But back then most people didn't go to college. Today's kid, if he does go, will graduate with loan debt but also enjoy all the bounty of modern technology. https://t.co/800kZvPunh — PolitiTweet.org

A contemporary 3br home would be much larger than its 1950s version. The typical American can clearly afford a car (not going to offer a citation on that). There's been a big increase in the cost of child care, but we're talking about a SAHM family here. — PolitiTweet.org

The BLS says average hourly earnings are $32.82 per hour which comes out to about $65,000 per year. HUD's fair market rent for a 3br dwelling in Greater Philadelphia is $1,789/month or $21,468 — just less than a third of that full-time average wage. — PolitiTweet.org

No good reason to take this stuff seriously but let's run the numbers here. — PolitiTweet.org

@christofspieler @nilocobau So the story is basically they are trying to build out a rail grid rather than a normal radial system? Intriguing. — PolitiTweet.org

So I guess not really, the idea is to extent the purple line all the way west and extent the pink line up to a transfer with the red in Hollywood. All the route planning for LA Metro is awfully sloppy. https://t.co/D6nqaLWWvx — PolitiTweet.org

Is the plan to connect the purple and pink lines? https://t.co/QYIEfz1Ekm — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert I’ve always wondered if he’s the conventional reference precisely because it was becoming wrong — are there lots of random uncontroversial 16th century texts making the same argument? — PolitiTweet.org

Malthusian intuitions are deeply rooted in part because they correctly describe the majority of human history. https://t.co/nnogIqh9Uo https://t.co/Xf7atSKrI7 — PolitiTweet.org

This switch from fraction to percentages here seems confusing but it means that Hong Kong’s rate of senior citizen labor force participation is *lower* than in the United States not higher. https://t.co/FYqMTm5CVP — PolitiTweet.org

I guess this photo is from 1991 and some sources indicate it’s a teen prostitute. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

I would rather live in 2020s USA due to the higher living standards and greater freedom, but I guess it’s true that if you really really really hate trans people you might decide Communism was good. — PolitiTweet.org

If you had the choice, would you rather live in 1970s USSR or 2020s USA? https://t.co/N7Ol9buueH

@SpecialPuppy1 The most recent example I can think of where a primarily Republican bill passed that Dem leadership probably could have stopped was the 2003 Medicare bill that added a prescription drug benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

The empirical track-record of constitutional monarchy is good but the system doesn’t withstand rational scrutiny (sounds paradoxical but go read Burke) so anything the royals do to make you think about their ideas and views and feelings is only going to undermine it. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Okay so to be precise *murders and non-fatal shootings* fell in 2022, which was welcome, but remain far above their 2019 level which itself was well above the 2012 low point. Good news about last year but we have a long way to go. — PolitiTweet.org

The key to a successful constitutional monarchy is for the royals to not tell people what’s on their mind. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s also dumb that the Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch shows are owned by different streamers and therefore don’t take place in the same universe even though the lead characters are half-brothers who live in the same city! — PolitiTweet.org
