Meh, please don't quote unusual statistics without giving any context for how to interpet them.

For this value, it is calculated by:

Using data compiled by the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the True Rate of Unemployment tracks the percentage of the U.S. labor force that does not have a full-time job (35+ hours a week) but wants one, has no job, or does not earn a living wage, conservatively pegged at $25,000 annually before taxes.

24.3% is not that out of the ordinary - you can see historical data back to like, 1995 here.

Not saying this stat is useless, but the way you've chosen to use it is intentionally and inaccurately inflammatory.

I am not so sure - i think that many many young folk are both more open to it and are disenchanted with the democrat party - and this will continue to grow with the old guard insisting on shooting themselves in the foot by stubbornly resisting Mamdani in new york immediatelt after 3 "Vote Blue No Matter Who" campaigns for the in the last few presidential elections.

I would say they still are reluctant. Maybe less so. In modern conversatioms, there is a very subtle implication that acknowledging queerness is inappropriate unless very explicit - even then you will get comments like "they didn't have the same understanding about orientation or gender identity".

In otherwords, there is still a strong undercurrent that straightness should be the default, rather than just one of the options.

Beyond the clear use of the word "person" - go ahead and tell me how you know if someone is not an citizen before you rescind your own requirement for due process?

Or, how many citizens should lose due process because you decide to skip it?

If you decide to provide exceptions, you will inevitably have a substantial error rate.

Of course, i suspect that is considered a bonus to these nazis.

The lack of food safety makes my eye twitch.

Oof. Such a bad idea. It does demonstrate that "We mostly care that they aren't contributing to taxes" is just a garbage excuse.

Supreme Court is still an important source of perceived legitimacy. The further authoritarians can push the Supreme Court to rubber stamp their power, the weaker public response will be.

Its similar to a form of "divine right" really.

Of course, the Supreme Court has to have its own trust and perceived legitimacy in order to convder it.

The amount of handringing over it was always excessive. China has undergone a massive rural -> urban migration. They still are. The large majority of homes are being used, and more will continue to be. I feel like a china apologist here, but this narrative about ghost cities has always been very silly.

This is what basically worked a few years ago. Massive mess, a huge pain, but it worked.

Also, many times they will say some isn't an authentic way to do something, and then you will learn it is authentic for like, a few towns over.

Amouranth?

Tech has made things more efficient - the rewards of such are simply being funneled from the average person to the wealthy.
