There are 86 million homeowners. Rapid inflation, assuming your income keeps pace, absolutely helps reduce the mortgage burden, no wash about it. If money doubles, your mortgage halves. Renters do not get this benefit. This causes a disparity and could account for the vibecession.

I think one missing part of the story is the positive effect of inflation on mortgage holders, coupled with the hot housing market.

So far we’ve been documenting incidents of Hannibal used, by individual officers. The documents and interviews Haaretz uncovered show it was a conscious decision by the IDF at multiple levels. The norm and not an exception. We’ll likely never know what proportion of dead on Oct7 was due to this.

What is the mechanism for determining who gets to "throw their hat in the ring" and chat with Taylor Swift?

The fact that this is a huge meme/joke in non white-dominated spaces and yet is almost completely unreported on should tell you something about who our pundit class is and which people's perspectives they see as important

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:
if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Saying it's a skeleton key or a jailbreak is sort of arguing in the wrong domain, giving users the sense that this is a minor defect that can be corrected, rather than a more fundamental problem that nobody really knows how to put this blob of jello on rails and keep it from sliding off
