Bring back pork barrels and logrolling
Robert Byrd was in the Senate for like 500 years because he Did Stuff for West Virginia, even if he personally sucked a whole lot.

and actually you only hear the opposite. a "competitive market" that consists entirely of elite logrolling ratches executive pay up forever
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

The ban on pork barrel spending and the ensuing decline of logrolling is an underreported cause of congressional dysfunction and hyper partisanship

Journalism, please, more trolling like this and less logrolling
Jeffrey Katzenberg was such a dick about trying to block access that the LA Times printed a map with instructions about how to legally park in front of his beach house and cross his land to get to the beach, which was hilarious.

Contrary opinion: follow friday was a circle jerk of logrolling promotion of favstar accounts. it worked briefly as a recommendation engine and quickly burned out into being a cloutsharing service.
You don't need follow friday, you need to share smaller accounts that make you laugh or think.

A proposal: let’s bring back some of the traditions that made early Twitter so good and see if we can’t both grow this place and grow accounts worth following.
I suggest #FollowFriday be brought back with enthusiasm

Serious Q: Given that progs on here constantly write long, detailed, searching threads on Atlantic pieces, w/ links and screen caps, why would its editors spend a second reconsidering their editorial conduct?
All criticism is seen as proof that the writer is "provocative" and "gets talked about."

part of the reason the media invested so much coverage to presenting Cuomo as inevitable is that momentum causes this sort of logrolling of transactional interest groups to endorse him and avoid his vindictive retribution since they assume he will win anyway
Two influential New York City labor unions that backed Mayor Eric Adams in 2021 switched their support on Monday to Andrew Cuomo, reflecting his growing dominance as the race for mayor accelerates.
Cuomo Wins Backing of 2 Major Unions That Once Pushed Him to Resign
Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s bid for New York City mayor was endorsed by two of the city’s largest unions, Local 32BJ and the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council.

Probably the biggest failing besides Trump and Gaza was making the ARP focused on lots of temp programs vs fewer permanent ones, but that was also a function of the logrolling to get it through narrow majorities

Congress is one reason why innovation is penalized. The Space Shuttle had contractors in the vast majority of congressional districts for a reason. That sort of logrolling is a tax on innovation, efficiency and probably safety.
Lawmakers generally vote to protect jobs in their districts as Job 1.

I've now completed profiles of all relevant groups listed in Amnesty UK's retracted anti-rights reports! 34 don't do explicitly anti-trans activism (mostly anti-abortion). I was struck by all the logrolling between the UK Christian Right & "gender criticals."

Loved reading this constructive engagement about cost benefit analysis for advocacy. I'm a believer in cost benefit analysis but @resnikoff.bsky.social's point that probabilities of legislative outcomes and logrolling are hard to estimate is a very good one.
CG's surrogate endpoint for social BCA on housing advocacy is indeed the expected # of housing units unlocked in metros with the biggest "Glaeser Wedge" estimates
A naive approach to this would indeed be naive. But I will write before YIMBYTown on what the non-naive approach looks like!

One example of the latter is I've heard EA-brained donors ask YIMBY orgs, "If I give X amount to your organization, how many additional units of housing will get built in the next decade?"
Not! How! Advocacy! Works!

The Log is a safe cold mountain river, but “large body of water” always carries a certain thrill even if there are no giant fish to eat you. On a warm day, logrolling will attract a crowd. Elderfolk laugh until they can’t breathe at the flailing arms & legs of their friends. 2/11
