So, in Norway & Denmark, each generation is earning more per hour than the previous one:
In the US & France, this kind of generational pay upswing looks absent. Looks like no change.
The no-change in US & France looks pretty good compared to Spain & Italy where generational income per hr is slipping backwards.
And now we get to UK & Greece, for whom ‘slipping’ like Italians would be preferable to the collapse this chart shows is being visited on them. resolutionfoundation.org/app/uploads/20…

So the U.S. and Mexico agreed to some things today to update #NAFTA. I've looked through the documents posted on the USTR site, and here are some highlights:
#RoO, everyone's favorite subject. NAFTA RoO for autos require 62.5% North American content. This has been increased to 75%, which is a significant change. Previous rumors of a 70% content requirement are thus finally disproved.
The U.S. & Mexico also agreed that 40-45% of auto content is to be made by workers earning $16 per hour. That's probably 40% for light trucks, & 45% for pickup trucks. This is all targeted at Mexico. Even if part of this % can come from R&D, this favors the U.S. and Canada.

I don't think I've thought as much about something I can't vote for as Initiative 77. I would vote yes, though, and I am going to thread about why.
I will be back in D.C. for good on July 3, so I am *just* missing this. As many of you know, I am going to work for a smart-growth advocacy organization. As many of you may surmise, said organization will be in the business of pushing for a better Comprehensive Plan in the fall.
In everything I have written about housing in the past year, I have done my absolute best to counteract the (imo unfair and largely Twitter-based) claim that people who argue for a greater supply of housing think that a greater supply of housing is a silver bullet.

Last year, I read the entire budget - doing the same this year. You deserve a Rep who’ll pay close attention to how your money’s spent and propose necessary changes.

There’s one huge difference this time - my input isn’t allowed.

That’s a problem. Here’s why. #ncga #ncpol 1/
For the 1st time in memory, the #NCGA is moving a budget that blocks amendments, through a committee that includes zero Democrats.

This silences the voice of duly-elected members like me. I wasn’t on the committee. I don’t get a chance to even suggest changes. #ncpol 2/
So what is this process people keep talking about that boxes out tons of #ncga members? Glad you asked.

Let’s consult the highest authority on legislative process (the Constitution) and the second highest (Schoolhouse Rock). #jk #ncpol #ncga 3/

🖋️ Worldbuilding thread! 🖋️

Some pitfalls related to shapeshifting, gender, and trans people.
As usual for my worldbuilding threads, this is not to subtweet any specific story, but rather to point out larger trends / common issues.

(I read a lot of trans-related fiction and currently edit a trans anthology series, Transcendent: The Year's Best Transgender SFF.)
My previous trans-themed worldbuilding thread was here:

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
