SCOTUS can, at any damn time, say the whole project of political gerrymandering is illegal and we can go back to a detente. They are just pathologically incapable of using math to make decisions on this topic, except one person one vote, and majority minority… and so on.

I certainly enjoy living in a richer world! But the outcomes politically seem incredibly volatile.
Ed Gerrish (@edgerrish.bsky.social) reply parent
“If a policy leads to 10% more for the rich and 2% more for the poor then I would certainly vote up” The political economy of this is why we are where we are. The 10% gain at the top for ~45 years has led to more power centralization and, ironically, more regressive taxation.

I really think we need a more generous Pell Grant for trades. Even forgiveness. The late career ROI isn’t as good as higher ed so we need to figure out how to compensate.
Ed Gerrish (@edgerrish.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. There is already a shortage. Because the dudes with the HS degrees aren’t doing this now. If they did they would have a job in a minute.
Ed Gerrish (@edgerrish.bsky.social) reply parent
And then the people with HS degrees would have to what? Using their coding skills to fix the robot screw machine? HVAC repair? It really was insane word salad.

Also worth noting that other autocracies where poorer and mostly fine. USSR wasn't some kind of universal hellscape. It was just a place with a more subsistence farming than it ought to have had and worse industrial output.
Ed Gerrish (@edgerrish.bsky.social) reply parent
I disagree! I should write about it. It's more complicated. The requirement to kiss the ring in autocracies will cause long-term malinvestment. It's almost more pronounced for satisfying local level toadies. Sure it might be fine for a week, month, few years. But the malaise will win.

Yes but the short-term effect is that they argue we can’t possibly be in recession because we are calculating GDP differently
Ed Gerrish (@edgerrish.bsky.social) reply parent
No it’s a pathway to including what they want and excluding what they want so that we are never in a recession with a Trump in office.
