My US predictions🧵 What my ratings mean: Tilt:essentially 50/50, gun to my head who I think wins Lean:either candidate could win without a massive polling error, but one candidate is clearly favored Likely:On-paper competitive but one candidate is exceedingly unlikely to win

What's going in Canada?
Canada’s housing crash is now approaching America’s 2008 bust, per BMO. Canadian home prices have fallen 20.5% nationally from their early-2022 peak, close to the 26% decline the US saw during the 2008 housing crash.

America's ongoing descent from the 'city on the hill' to South-American style banana republic is truly fascinating and terrifying in equal measure Both parties are now lead by ultra-slopulists who want to destroy the institutions that made America great
