Only people with a secure material life have time to worry about a new 6 story building in their neighborhood. I’ve never seen a deliverista NIMBY anything.

Are you kidding me? We’ve had decades of outright insane NIMBYism. Yes, it’s a pretty safe assumption these people are NIMBYs.

Well. This train probably won’t kill anyone, so that’s good.

Yeah, The right-wing pundit class doesn’t actually want to catch the car. It’s always on the center-left folks to actually govern.

Please aggressively upzone Boston. The city desperately needs more homes.

The funny thing is Bluesky is just a better version of Twitter. No Nazis, porn bots or annoying boosted ads. Both sites are full of people that are too online.

This is evident in these newly popular live dating shows across America. Women often ask the men who they voted for, the men sheepishly (almost never proudly) say Trump. The women says thanks but not thanks, men feel the women shouldn’t DQ them for their vote.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
If you don’t think politics is that serious, it probably is a bit puzzling to have family member cut you off for voting a certain way.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
All this means is Harris voters treat governance with the gravity it deserves, Trump voters treat governance like it’s a reality show.

It’s not fully automated, it’s not at all consumer size, and good luck getting the cost down, not to Mention the maintenance issues.

I really wish we could get to FSD cars, but I don’t think we will ever get there at scale.

Localism is captured by hyper preferential busy bodies. It’s completely antithetical to democracy and representative government.

Urban helicopter travel is perhaps the most anti-social thing an insanely rich purpose can do. I had the taste of jet fuel in my Mouth for Days after biking by helicopter landing on the east river.

I don’t see how any online pundit can sustain themselves for a long time. The sheer volume of negative interactions is likely to send anyone to a dark place.

It infuriating, but even something like tree planting suffers from insane infrastructure cost bloat.

Parking spot bioswales would help with localized flooding, beautify the street and delineate curb space is a more geometrically sound way.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Instead, we should stomp on freedom, make bettors use crypto on shady offshore accounts, get zero tax revenue and empower criminal enterprises. Those are all Much bigger problems than legal online sports betting IMO.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Alcohol is many times worse than gambling, so it’s fairly hypocritical for the anti-gambling crowd to push for an online gambling ban but allow for near total freedom of sale for alcohol and weed.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
There are stores that sell bews everywhere and we are bombarded with alcohol advertisements way more than gambling advertisements. Most Gambling is just considered gauche by elites, but alcohol, weed and even some drug consumption is considered ay-okay. I suggest people reevaluate their priors.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
I laughed hard at that last tweet 😂
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep, Bryan Caplan makes this point very well in his Open Borders graphic novel.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s been very bad. More destructive than gambling IMO. It should still be legal, because it would take squashing freedom and an immense amount of law enforcement resources to stop people from smoking weed. (All the while making criminal enterprise much more profitable.)

Say you get your way and ban all legal gambling. Would your arrest me if I used crypto on a shady offshore site to place a 100 Dollar bet on the LLWS?
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Awe yes, a gambling addict degen will Stop gambling if you make him walk down the street to place a bet.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Food is designed to be addictive. Alcohol companies make most of their revenue off of heavy drinkers. Weed has major problems. Should we go full Taliban and ban it all?

Casinos are not legal in most places.

The whole “don’t let them bet on the phones but let them bet in person” proposition sounds good but it doesn’t make sense. If Someone is such a degenerate, they will walk down the street to Bet on a kiosk if it’s blocked on their phone.

Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Getting a lot of reefer madness vibes from the anti-gambling crowd. The truth is it’s regulated poorly. It’s a state sponsored duopoly designed to maximize tax revenue, not provide a good experience to the user.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Furthermore, alcohol causes way more death and destruction than gambling. You can’t OD on sports betting

Is that possible? People will just bet using bookies and offshore accounts via crypto. The war on gambling will be about as successful as the war on drugs.
Spencer Heckwolf (@spencerheckwolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Perfect? People were using crypto to bet offshore and syndicates to bet onshore. Hardly perfect.
