Where the quality of living is best, according to @mercer. Note that there isn't one U.S. city in the top 20 mobilityexchange.mercer.com/Insights/quali…
And here's San Francisco in 34th place! (Yes, climate is a factor)
Cities in the UK, Italy, Japan and Spain only show up after that. (I dunno though, I think maybe I'd rather live in Barcelona than Basel?)
By the way, here's the bottom of the quality of living list. Since @dimitryleger has spent time in two of these cities recently, maybe he should weigh in mobilityexchange.mercer.com/Insights/quali…

For those of you who didn't think 2,500 words in @BW on stumpy apartment buildings was enough, I've written more at @bopinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Here's the @BW article, with a headline that's more negative about the phenomenon than I am (and has been successful in attracting many, many readers, so I'm not complaining) bloomberg.com/news/features/…
The new column is, first of all, another attempt at getting the word "stumpy," which I encountered in a three year old comment at @UrbanizeLA, into general circulation as the name for these buildings urbanize.la/post/little-to…

How do countries with really high tax revenues (relative to GDP) tax their citizens? Differently than the U.S. does, and much differently than @AOC and @SenWarren have proposed. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
One thing every affluent country taxes more heavily than the U.S. is consumption
U.S. wealth taxes (in the form of real estate taxes) are high by international standards

The @OECD released its revenue statistics for 2017 last month, and as always the the U.S. was near the bottom among wealthy nations in tax revenue as a share of GDP. So we're a low-tax nation! Which doesn't mean everybody's taxes are low here. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Here's the taxes/GDP ranking for 2017. The U.S. came in 30th out of 35 OECD countries.
Still, lots of taxpayers in the U.S. don't think they're getting a great deal. One reason is that, unlike in many other wealthy countries, taxes don't cover health care and higher ed.

Here's Kamala Harris' record. Let's see if she's really for the people.
"Attorney General Kamala Harris has recommended that Madrigal's $282,000 claim be denied, with an attorney in her office filing a brief that argues over the circumstances in the case dismissed by the federal judge in granting Madrigal's release."

sfgate.com/crime/article/…
"The failure by Harris' office "to produce information actually in its possession regarding Madden and the crime lab is a violation of the defendants' constitutional rights," Massullo wrote."

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

1/ Amid Twitter maybe getting rid of the "like" to promote "better dialog" and certainly giving safe haven to nazis and other extremists, a rant:
2/ You probably noticed how, people came forward to say that they'd reported the bomber for violent threats, and Twitter (as always) did nothing and (as always) now apologizes but (as always) won't say how they'll better handle. They won't, and I'll tell you one big reason why.
3/ to address complaints about threats and "improve the dialog" Twitter introduced the "quality filter." You see fewer threats and hate speech. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S LESS OF IT.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
