"ALICE" is the acronym for "asset limited, income constrained, employed" -- basically, folks who have jobs but ones that don't pay terribly well, and possess little wealth

Research shows this cohort of the American population is growing ...

... and they're stuck in a bad spot, policy-wise: They earn too much to quality for low-income government support, but too little to be comfortable amidst the big soaring costs of housing, health care, education and transportation

sheamusfitz,

@clive note: the color scale here is NOT symmetric. The blue-est blue is 2.5x as bad as the reddest red is good.

Trump sleeping during his criminal trial was a smart legal defense maneuver as he commits fewer felonies while sleeping.

sheamusfitz,

@RL_Dane @MissingThePt from Merriam Webster:

This isn't an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there's been a written English language. But for more than 200 years almost every usage writer and English teacher has declared such use to be wrong. The received rule seems to have originated with the critic Robert Baker, who expressed it not as a law but as a matter of personal preference. Somewhere along the way—it's not clear how—his preference was generalized and elevated to an absolute, inviolable rule.

The night of the election. GA has just been called for Biden.

But, then rumblings start. GA electors are simply NOT going to report at all as they claim that the election was "irregular" ... this happens in several states. So, although Biden wins by millions in the popular vote, neither Trump nor Biden have 270 electoral college votes.

Over the next week this persists. The decision goes to congress.

Who with a razor thin electoral majority chooses Trump. 1/

sheamusfitz,

@futurebird why would you put this in my head
