Anyway I talk a lot about gender norms among politicians but seriously the fact that women are getting their careers (and paychecks) obliterated by this virus/pandemic/recession is the underappreciated story of the year.
And to be clear this recession is definitely harder on POC (and esp WOC) than whites.
Wait wait wait ok I want to update because I want to be clear here now that I've looked more closely at the data: this appears to be more about marriage than gender. Here's my count of job changes Aug-Sept. >>>>>
To be clear: this is only one month we're looking at. And things will be revised.

So: married women have lost more jobs than married men. And a greater percentage too (because more married men work).

But still: married folks losing jobs. Single folks getting them.
@mikemadowitz does this track with what you got?
@mikemadowitz (Furthermore I totally know these gaps could explode even more in October-November.)

OK, so. I couldn't help myself and did a count of the overruns.

Keep in mind this is based on our initial quick and dirty transcript BUT my initial count:

Pence's overruns totaled somewhere around 748 words.

Harris's: 390 words.
To be clear, this is based on me going over our transcript and counting the instances where Susan Page tried to interrupt and the speakers kept going. It DOESN'T include anything after Page said "Ok 15 seconds" or something like that.
Again: this is based on very quickly established criteria (established by me) but it at least gives a first stab at showing an unevenness that showed up on stage tonight.

This is an excellent point!

As of august, 3/4 of GOP/leaners said they were wearing masks indoors most of the time. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020…
It’s not OPTIMAL, but it’s more complicated than “trump supporters don’t mask” which is the blunt assumption from many.

Outside Walter Reed the other night it was maybe half properly masked? What was unusual was seeing that none of the masked people seemed perturbed.
And yes to be clear there’s a political divide on masking. Just saying it’s not “this party masks and this one doesn’t.”

Now i do have an obnoxious quibble and it’s that wealth and income are not the same thing but honestly.
I get it I get it that it’s expensive to live in SF or NY or DC. But framing it as “actually this family is middle class” seems less truthful than “you have to be making a crazy high income to support a family and plan for the future in these cities.”

Talking to the trump supporters outside Walter Reed. A good count is hard because supporter:press ratio has to be near 1:1. Image
Masking is....relatively prevalent? Maybe half of supporters fully masked? But again: glancing around a crazy amount of people are press so hard to get A+ estimates.
Dude just walked up in a grim reaper costume. This....may not go over well?

Warren speaking in Houston. Congratulates Biden, acknowledges that first contests haven’t gone as she had hoped.
Tonight she’s straying from talking middle class, econ plans...bringing in coronavirus.
“Let dairy die” animal rights protesters just interrupted her...crowd shouted them down.

Warren out with a plan today to help part-time workers -- would require weeks-ahead scheduling, >11 hours between shifts (for workers at firms above 15 workers).

Which gets at a needle Democrats are trying to thread this year: 1/
Yes, the job market as a whole is relatively healthy. Low unemployment, albeit with so-so wage growth....worker *shortages* in some places (maybe not "healthy" but good for workers). BUT.

Job *quality* is a thing dem candidates are getting at with their policies. 2/
For example: check out this (awesome) new indicator, the Job Quality Index. Jobs are substantially lower-quality than they were before Great Recession: qz.com/1752676/the-jo…
