Imagine being a Fox News anchor in 2021 and still being hailed as a journalist with integrity. What a clownshow.
Chris Wallace’s nickname should be Mr. Overton.

Better fit for this thread than the covid thread.
Indeed, in my case, when I say for a long while, I mean for nearly two years, from almost the very beginning. In 2020, I took part in two weddings, traveled extensively, took family vacations with my children, spent hundreds of hours in bars and restaurants, all without wearing a mask. This year my wife and I welcomed our fourth child. Over the course of her pregnancy, from the first phone call to the midwife a few months after getting a positive pregnancy test until after delivery, the subject of the virus was never raised by any health-care professional, including her doula, a dear friend from New York.
Great job, Atlantic.
Maybe the dumbest paragraph in the article:
I wish I could convince myself that for once in my life with COVID we were actually experiencing a healthy break from the usual pattern, according to which the latest silly novelties—no-fault divorce, factory-sliced bread, frozen meals, and, of course, infant formula—are adopted enthusiastically by the upper middle classes, who then think better of them by the time the lower orders come around.
I know that my household only used factory-sliced bread and infant formula until the commoners started buying it.
It’s been a while since an article made me as angry as this one did.
he’s going to be most newsworthy when his full self-driving mode kills the most pedestrians since dubya dubya too.
Classic one for the replace “US economy” with “Rich people” macro.

I’ve been hearing about this magic solution for years because I work on pensions. For as long as the looming demographic tsunami of retiring baby boomers has been understood, there have always been people calling for longer working lives to combat the declining ratio of workers to retirees. The one teeny problem with that is that old workers suck ass. They are on average unproductive and come with higher health care costs and they miss work more often. For every age 65+ employee that is some kind of wisdom savant that makes a team stronger, there are 10 that can’t work the copy machine and doze off in meetings.
