Workforce policy people talk about stackable pathways constantly. A certificate here, an apprenticeship there, a degree across town. Then visit a state's education website. A landing page linking to thousands of programs, nothing tying them together. The learner is left to guess how any of it stacks.

What polls can't compensate for is the fact that normal, small town Midwesterners don't care to share their political preferences with strangers. It breaks cultural norms.

The Dems are flooding prediction markets with bad bets to shift perceptions of reality. It only would cost $200,000 to change Talarico’s odds from 50 to 67% That’s a fraction of the 114 million spent on Talaricos campaign and more effective than road signs. People don’t believe polls but prediction markets create more certainty, because who would throw away money right? The best we can do is make their marketing stunt as expensive as possible by placing more bets on Paxton and collecting. Once election results hit the odds will be revealed to have been way off base and the Dems will use it as a call to regulate prediction markets.
BREAKING: James Talarico surges to new all-time high in odds to win the Texas Senate race. 67% chance Talarico flips Texas blue. 🔗 polymarket.com/r/TexasSenate

Trump’s decline in popularity is more concentrated in suburbia and much less pronounced in the Ohio Valley, where he’s still relatively popular… so not sure this tracks.

The total market volume in state races is typically around $1M. Lots of motivation to manipulate markets and shift perceived momentum. In OH, these concentrated, one sided buys made up 20% of the market and the media acted like it was a real barometer of momentum

Before I started my first business, I spent six months mapping out every detail. It gave me some confidence, but in retrospect, I was better off just building the plane while flying. You end up iterating significantly anyways. Only way is to jump, then swim.

Two large buys for Acton made up for 10% of the total volume last month, accounting for the movement

Good point
Youngstown, Portsmouth, and Eastern Ohio are union households that voted Democratic for decades. They didn't switch parties because their economic interests changed. They switched because they stopped believing anyone was paying attention to them. You can disagree with where that led. Understanding why it happened matters more than being surprised that it did.

"I'm not a Brooks Brothers Republican, I'm a J. Press Republican." Metal.
Just jogged my memory of this piece on HW from “Ivy Style” A funny rumor has him flashing his interior jacket label to a crowd, hoping to dispel hecklers calling him a “Brooks Brothers Republican.” Also hilarious he called his shirts “shirtings.” Ivy Style makes the case he was preppier than JFK.

Ran into @Cernovich in Detroit. Protestors everywhere. 1.4 million followers. No security. No team. Schlepping boxes through the city. He’s the real deal. Investing in American companies and using his voice to promote reshoring. The lost American Empire is reemerging @reindsummit

When we raised for our AI native workforce upskilling platform, most VCs were too fixated on replacing workers to see how the tech could reshore.

Even if it doesn’t replace, it will most definitely displace. Either way it’s a crisis worth preparing for.

Regardless of what you think of JobsOhio.. @mdkmoto 100% right about this: "A skilled workforce is not a side issue in economic development – it is central to it. States that are winning today are investing aggressively in talent pipelines, especially in sectors like advanced manufacturing and defense.”

Reconstruction era politics. Sure to be wildly successful for Democrats! Thanks for underscoring the point of my op-ed: Dems have their heads in the gutter
