Those maps are an example of using data badly. I am not saying that accurate results would change the conclusion, but that we really have no good idea how different the result would be:

Jeremy Owens is an idiot when he says “Elon says factory workers are highest paid if you include equity, ‘which you should.’ Tesla subtracts stock compensation from earnings”. It doesn’t mean what the thinks it means.

Trump is overall a train wreck. But that doesn’t mean that everything he does is automatically bad. Europe has been free-riding on the US defense umbrella for a long time. It is high time the US called out Europe on this.

Thank you Estonia for actually spending 2% of GDP on defense, unlike most of your European neighbors.

“I think part of the attitude today comes from our failing healthcare system(s) while Europe generally enjoys superficially great care.”

You have written some really good columns. This wasn’t one of them.

“So you ignored the page’s text explaining why accounting for their contributions in straight financial terms is disingenuous...awesome.”

“Henderson’s research found that only authorized dealerships have the ability to see which devices have access to the car and to manually remove a device from it.” 

That’s one pissed off car. They should have used it for “Christine”.

I missed this article earlier. Your best one so far. Well done!

Gerrymandering is overblown. If it was all about gerrymandering, the Republicans wouldn’t have won an increased number of Senator and Governor positions.

If Obama was allowed to run again, he very likely would have beat Trump.

“And the party of Bush2 is the dumbest collection of greedy PAC-money gobbling asswipes on the planet.”

It’s beautifully ironic that the Toyota ad showing up shows a black family going on a Kayaking trip.

And quite often making a company successful means that you do not hire the highly expensive workers with seniority.

“Unnamed sources in Washington, DC are deeply impressed that Steve Bannon, the White House’s chief strategist and favorite white nationalist, has read a few books.”

“Texas is the latest state in the country to roll over and comply with the new administration.”

Real Republicans actually have a decent handle on the economic theory behind free trade. Trump was elected by pandering to those who don’t, which included a fraction of people that previously voted Democrat.

Very sad about Jamie’s daughter, but perhaps worse, not surprising.

Dup post.
