Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the hero of Little Round Top, whose heroic leadership and gallantry secured the union flank at Gettysburg was a graduate and later president of Bowdoin.

Nobody takes brave stands in safe spaces like progressive maxis. Demanding Halloween justice at Bowdoin is almost as brave as the Free Palestine protesters who very briefly disrupted the weekly pétanque game at the Mueller Farmers Market last month to take a group photo on the terrain.

No need for the reassurance. Nobody would pretend to be a socialist nepobaby who was involved in student government at a small liberal arts college. I realize that he represents wonderful things to some people (like my kids) and terrible things to others (many of my colleagues). Those two groups are equally silly and unrealistic. The risk with Zohran Mamdani is that he won’t be competent bureaucrat, which is required to succeed in that job. Hopefully he will surround himself with career public sector technocrats and not staff senior jobs from the ranks of activism.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Bozo_Casanova replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
Which is strange, you know? Usually indifference produces really good government. At any rate- the biggest “issue,” if you can call it that, is that this spring congressional Republicans did a bunch of things they did not negotiate, and then added insult to injury when they came back and broke a bunch of deals they had made to keep the government open the last time. They then dared the Democrats to do something about it and refused to negotiate for a continuing resolution, because they thought Schumer would cave. But he didn’t. As of now, the Democrats are asking for the ACA subsidies to be restored. The GOP is refusing to negotiate that and Mike Johnson is even refusing to commit to a vote. That’s where we are now. Ralphie May spoke at a company event we had 25 years ago. He said “you get on the plane and everybody opens their laptops. On Greyhound people have shoeboxes. Shoeboxes are like laptops on the bus.” -

Here’s the video of the meeting. It’s interesting to listen to the young staffers and hard not to feel for their sadness and hurt. They seem to have bought into the bullshit and actually thought the “Heritage Foundation” was on the level.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Bozo_Casanova replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
I guess. Frankly I’ve can’t think of a supply imbalance in history that has ever corrected without meeting the top of the market first. The Austin MSA is correcting in large part because of all the “luxury condos” that came on the market around the same time rates went up. My point is that we don’t need to pay developers to take risks, but to simply allow them to meet the market. Indeed two of the three important drivers of affordability erosion are income inequality and two decades of essentially free credit combined with federal tax stimulus for top earners. But, we can’t address that at the municipal level. We can only address the third major contributor, which is restrictions on housing construction in centralish Austin.
