THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

“Damn. This is the most unreal (and yet depressingly so real) story of unintended consequences I've ever read. "Why Do Employers Provide Health Care in the First Place?" Some excerpts... https://t.co/q1DFnfXvzl”

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023

“Average rent in the US is currently about $1,700. For you to be "financially stable" aka not at heightened risk of homelessness, it's advised you make 3x your rent. That's $61,200/yr. That's the minimum we should ALL be making to be STABLE. So, no, 75k is not outrageous wealth.”

I'm really surprised that no one is actively talking about what an America run by the GOP looks like. We can see it in deep red states right now, and it's horrifying. 1/n— Brynn Tannehill (@BrynnTannehill) April 18, 2023

this map is still fucking insane to me. We are so fucking cooked and if you think the Western economies can compete with this you're out to lunch https://t.co/XTyDmjgipA— posting eternally (@postingwhilegay) April 4, 2023

There are multiple disconnected and connected systems that seem to make up the foundation for the scary western narrative of the "Social Credit Score" and the nearest to the truth might be the app/program one engages with while trying to enter or as a member of the Communist… https://t.co/FPtMQCe8OX— ⚓ American McGee 🏴‍☠️ (@americanmcgee) February 19, 2023

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023

Probs obvious, but I think lack of cheap housing in cities is the main thing to blame for most culture getting worse (contemporary novels, indie movies, music, less weird art, etc.) — mostly, the only people who can afford to make a career in this stuff have inherited wealth now.— Nabeel (@nabeelqu) December 22, 2022

“People on Twitter squawk about contrarian truths that get “censored” but what’s really suppressed are the things that people find way too horrifying to consider, so we get an uncoordinated yet collective denial of things we should be facing up to.”

1/20 Dear friends, I need to draw your attention to something super bad and super important (and it doesn’t originate from Russia for once).
