My concern is that it will cause prices to go up and fewer new home to be built.

Yes. I fear the law of unintended consequences here. Will this lead to more or fewer houses being built?

I’m not sure this will bring prices down

Maybe I am underestimating the amount of people buying seasons of TV shows on PlayStation, but this seems like a lot of PR pain for very little potential upside.

I can definitely tell that they are next to each other.

We didn’t discuss politics and everyone had a nice time.

Some people seem to think anything is fine if it’s for social media. An Apple genius was fired recently for making ‘I work at Apple ’ tech tip Tik Toks and she seemed totally baffled as to why that might be a problem.

Tackling Tik Tok, the biggest Chinese propaganda machine? I sleep.

Investigating the cancellation of a show that nobody watched? Real shit!

Sounds like an oxymoron.

They aren’t really predictive of the 2024 election, but they are shifting significantly in response to current events.

Polls are certainly not predictive this far out, but they are shifting significantly right now. And they don’t rule out a strong RFK run if more Dems decide to ditch Biden.

I gave a link to it up the thread. It’s the most recent Quinnipiac poll. If you want another rude awakening, look at the latest NYT/Senna poll.

It might not be so simple.

“In a warning sign for Democrats, Kennedy was the leading choice for young voters, aged 18-34, in the poll’s surveyed population — 38 percent of whom chose the environmental lawyer. From the same age group, 32 percent picked Biden and 27 percent went for Trump.”

RFK is polling at 22%. Winning independents with 36%.

I don’t think we can really dismiss him yet.

You can’t vote for or against them now anyway. Maybe give it a year and see where things stand then?

IMO There are some people who are generally happy and some people who are miserable and the average ‘happiest’ age isn’t really that predictive. Positive and negative life events play a role, but time going by doesn’t just make you sadder or happier without something else going on.

Apple stopped selling the iPhone 12 yesterday, not because of France’s regulations, but because it is so old that it has been bumped out of the line by the iPhone 13.

Frances is notable for being very strict about cell phone radiation. They require every phone sold to include a headset with mic, not for hand free driving, but because the government says that talking on the phone normally exposes your head to dangerous levels of radiation.

John and Yoko. They quit when their son was born.

Now add former heroin addicts to the equation.
