On the second bout, one of my side effects (mouth and throat sores - a colleague with similar problems recently died of them, literally chocked to death when their throat closed) was greatly helped by a product developed by another friend, who we've since helped connect with a contingent fee lawyer for help with a very unexciting but important collection matter (their distributor screwed them - it threatened their ability to continue). I realized my health depended in part on the quality of work of an otherwise lowly collections litigator.

Work can be a very fulfilling part of life if we let it, and keep the money issues from getting in the way.
I agree with this. One can definitely find fulfillment in any profession.

But most people don't, or don't always, so they have to find balance. This makes more sense, IMO, than believing the Protestant Work Ethic (that life is just to toil and through that one will build character, and character is reward enough regardless of whether one makes money) or the Greed Is Good mantra (work sucks, so just crush it as much as you can and try to amass the greatest wealth and prestige... and then retire and become obsessed with golf and talk about it incessantly).

The kids these days seem to grasp that The Ride is the reward. It's all you get, so if you're sacrificing everything to toil which is not fulfilling and not enjoying yourself along the way, you're doing it wrong, and quite illogically.

You really need to be more selective in your news sources and/or more skeptical of silly right wing talking points.
Look up where the audits had been targeted over the past 20 years. EITC was one of the most frequent.

There's a narrative out there that the country is awash in massive super-wealthy cheats - Swiss accounts, hidden crypto, Panama, etc. But this stuff is rounding errors. What'd they get when the Swiss dimed out US citizens with hidden foreign accounts a few years back? Five, ten billion? Not chump change. But also not much more than a day's (if that) worth of interest on our debt.

They're coming for everyone, above $400k and below. Because that's where the most money is located. We could punitively tax the Forbes 400 crowd at 50% for a year and the money wouldn't be terrifically impressive. To make this work, they've gotta make everyone a target. Terrible for small business. Jacks compliance costs. Great for accountants.

Yep. They get it.

In theory, with automation (and not having trillions of $$ in a few hands), we should all be living the lives of the passengers on the Wall-E ship.

Keynes predicted that we'd have 15 hour weeks by now and leisure would be prioritized.

There are many reasons we're not there, and some are good ones. Some people are simply ambitious, love to work, love what they do, and these people tend to benefit themselves and society tremendously.

But there's also a pathology at work - a belief non-productive life is wasted time. That it's somehow better to be doing anything than doing nothing. This turns people into strange little robots. Routine is sanctified. Put on khakis, get in car, drive, park, get coffee, walk upstairs, go into office. As a cheetah would stalk prey everyday on the savanna, because it knows no other way to live, I shall go off to the office to earn my keep every day.

Except you're not earning anything by this ritual. You're going through motions that actually hamper the work for which you are paid. The performative and rote conflate with the productive time. They layers on top of, or marble through, the productive activity. They sap energy. But you're a robot, so you don't see that anymore.

Until someone makes all the robots stay home for a year, unable to get a daily software reinforcement by plugging their asses into chairs in their cubicles just as you'd dock your iPhone into your MacBook.

Oh, wait, that was a rut, a Matrix... I was just sleepwalking through motions I needn't follow.

And why do we so easily turn into robots? I think because we're marinated in a high proof Puritan bullshit story about how rigid discipline, consistency, and sacrificing time is good for humans and makes them successful. Sure, the 10,000 Hour Rule works if you're Tiger Woods or Yo Yo Ma. But those are 10,000 useful hours. The 10,000 hours a cubicle monkey burns putting on Dockers, shaving, and sitting in traffic for an hour every morning are useless hours. The 10,000 hours anyone spends in meetings are useless hours.

There is no dumber statement than "He put in his time." People say that as if achieving success is a simply a matter of trading enough time, putting up with enough politics, being bored to tears regularly. How much innovation is lost every year because people find themselves "putting in their time"? Most of the great ideas one will have will be had while one is young. What kind of perverse society and counterproductive economy would encourage young minds to dutifully follow orders under impossibly dull conditions?

A fucking strange one. One still haunted by the spirit of the self-depriving religious loons who founded this place. Work should be performed in comfortable conditions under which its performed most effectively, not in a hairshirt and half exhausted.

"Thanks for decades of dutiful service, Bob! Here's a Rolex. Hope you picked a nice place to die!"

FWIW, this unrealized promise is the subject of Brad Delong's new book, Slouching Towards Utopia, an economic history of the post-1870 world. I'm going to read it any day now, just as soon as I can get through Mark Helprin's Winter's Tale.

Thanks for that. From reviews, it looks like a rewrite of history aimed at shitting on accepted narratives. Which of course is catnip to me.

I'll buy it for traditionalist friends for the holidays. I've found recommending The Dawn of Everything and Sex At Dawn to them quite fun. Nothing is more satisfying than causing an older person to doubt things he's just so fucking certain are "bedrock natural rules."

For context, for those who have never met Ty, he is a lovely thoughtful man, BUT on the issue of SF being over run by homeless leaving feces I will note that Ty seems to favor restaurants with a strong odor reminiscent of a sewage treatment plant.

That review looks interesting and I will read when not a Friday night, i.e. when sober. But I can say now that I was not endorsing all of Shellenberger's arguments (such as they are - the book is often more incredibly well researched statistics (100 pages of footnotes) than conclusions), but that this book will either anger or epiphanize (I just invented the word) Sebby's progressive gift-recipients. It is a lesson in progressive failure, but weak in proposed change.

I read this piece in the Atlantic a while back, about homeless and meth, and was totally depressed. Not sure that anyone has a policy solution for this.

As for Shellenberger's incredible research, Scott Alexander says he repeatedly offers a much-needed corrective to the way progressives overstate social-science research, and then proceeds to overstate things the same way himself. It's one thing to do lots of research, but another to represent that research in an even-handed way.

That's a lovely feel good piece.

The author nails the issue. There are no villains. I'd go beyond the assessment this applies to meth and say it applies to most severe addictions that land people on skid row. These folks have simply been bulldozed by a ruthlessly unforgiving system in which they could not make it.

It's said the US is s great place if you've some money, but an utterly miserable place if you don't. That seems true. This would mean it's a horrific place if you've no money and fall into addiction to hard drugs. And those two tend to follow each other. Met any well heeled meth heads lately?

But what's the fix? How does one achieve a positive result to this equation:

Increasingly more people without marketable skills + A country in which cost of living is high and economic success is increasingly difficult to attain = ?

He kind of drives me nuts because his climate book was endorsed as gospel by every over-70 right wing denier I know. It got maddening arguing that one book among literally libraries of others was somehow the final word on climate change.

But that's not his fault. And I don't think he's a charlatan. I just think he's all but assuredly wrong in his ultimate assessment.

Philly has a variant of the SF thing going on with its progressive DA, Krasner. There's a movement to hang Larry from City Hall right now, with every carjacking and mugging blamed on him. I don't think it's fair.

We over-incarcerate in this country. And the length of sentences is obscene. It's a cruel, stupid, vengeful system. And it creates more dangerous criminals, with prisons acting as grad schools in crime.

We had a pandemic. Shit does not return to normal overnight following a pandemic. The right wing crowd - which doesn't even like the cities or live in them - needs to be ignored. They're using the crime spikes which are totally normal and expected following a pandemic to create paranoia that is going to lead to a vicious and monumentally stupid resurgence in "tough on crime" politics.

More now than ever before cities and their justice systems need to be run by circumspect thinkers. It's "elitist," I know, and so politically probably impossible, but moderate apolitical technocrats need to be brought into city govts to handle this problem. The right wing and the progressives need to get out of the way, stop bending the conversation in counterproductive directions. Let a star chamber of pros fix things, because despite the shit one will hear to the contrary, the following can be done simultaneously:

1. Reform justice/enforcement to stop jailing/harassing/preying upon the poor and minorities at the ridiculous pace of the past; and,
2. Address violent crime.

You can look up the stats on the arrests in NY. It is a small percentage of criminals getting arrested and rearrested for violent crime. The cure is not to focus on entire communities of poor/minority people because "that's where the criminals are" or restart "broken windows" policing that crowds jails mindlessly. The solution is to identify and jail the recidivists.

I literally just read it and sent it to my wife two minutes ago as required reading (a mandate she will most likely ignore). And yeah, I’m fucking pissed. I didn’t even think The Onion was a thing any more, or if anything it was a faded relic of its past glory. But this is some next level amicus brief writing, a phrase I did not ever expect to be writing.

Question:
I have not gotten TSA Precheck because I always forget to make an appoint for the interview before I'm at the airport. But now I see they do the interviews at selected Staples. So I'm getting it. BUT always looking to worry, I have to assume most people that get Precheck also know to get Clear. Does Precheck speed up and simplify getting through the machine but slows down getting to the scan line?

I got Precheck when I was flying internationally a lot, never got Clear. It made a huge different for the international flights a few years ago, but I don't fly much for work anymore, and it doesn't help when I fly with my family because my wife doesn't have it.

Similar. It's easier when flying with the family because they give you a card so you go through the regular metal detector and don't have to take your shoes off. But when you are outside of the country, TSA pre carries zero weight. So basically, in my recent international trip, it would have saved me 15 minutes on one line at JFK. LHR, CDG, zero.

I do not travel for work anymore.

I also have Clear through a credit card but I found the service to be super-shitty. Every time I tried to use it, the employee was befuddled and it didn't work and they had to lead me through the airport like I was taking a tour of the pyramids by going to some random Egyptian.

Maybe they recognize your name and they want to spend more time with a celeb? But for nobodies like me Clear is always great.

A lot of airports don't have a separate line for Mobile Passport. My last trip in, I downloaded the app, scanned the passports, took the pictures for my wife and me all while I was on line at JFK, and saved all of ten seconds coming back to the US.

I do recall at some airports bypassing the line with global entry, using a machine and being done in 20 seconds instead of waiting on line.

I often have the dream that I went to what I believed was a beginner class and it was actually advanced.

This is the advanced travel class. Some basic knowledge is necessary. You may want to ask the registrar if you can late drop.

That being said, here's a picture which can help you decide if you need basic or remedial class.

We can't have nice things here.

We deserve to be a laughingstock. Look at the nut running for governor on the R side. Jan 6 participant and openly proud White Christian Nationalist. (Thankfully, he's going to lose in a landslide.)

Fucking Trump. He got all the loonies to come out in the primaries. And fucking populists. Fetterman got them to come out for him in primaries.

The Senate race should have been Connor Lamb vs. McCormick.

Sorry for the interruption on the site. Hopefully it's back up and running again.

When I was talking to the host, I realized this site is nearly 20 years old. We started in spring of '03. Our last upgrade was in 2018. Seems like it's relatively stable. I'm sure there are more bells and whistles that we could add, but the volume of posts probably isn't enough to justify.

I'm not super close to the race, but I'm curious what you don't like about Fetterman.

I guess we will find out is hoodies are allowed on the senate floor.
