    What I founder interesting is my father, who is keplerian in his liberalism, wasn't necessarily for means testing. He's an interesting man.

        Compared to housing prices in San Francisco, places in my town are cheap, but even so a household (could even an individual) making 90K here would qualify for housing assistance through a local "workforce housing" program.

          Probably because it isn't true. It's one of those internet tropes that gets repeated willy-nilly by those who want to believe. David Koch was a donor and on the board of trustees for WGBH (PBS Boston) for years. This was eventually conflated into "The Koch's bought PBS!" Koch resigned in 2013 and hasn't been a donor since. He's not on the NPR board. And NPR checked a while back and they could find no record of Koch's ever giving anything to NPR. Not that they couldn't be giving. Just that apparently nobody at NPR knows about it which would seem to be an odd way of going about controlling NPR.
          I've heard "this program was supported by Koch Industries" on my local public radio station many times when they give short "advertisements" for companies that help underwrite the programming.

            The housing in San Fran is nuts. Gf's cousin lives in the burbs and the last time they were looking they put in a bid 90k above asking and they didnt even get a call back

            Hell dog walkers in that town make 90k...

              Jones Act will be waived. Apparently the ports weren't that crowded. Now to make Puerto Rico a permanent exception, like the USVI, or disbanding it all together so that Hawaii, Alaska, and other territories are no longer weighed down with needless extra costs.

                I agree too. Nice post.

                  The Kochs are not on the board of NPR...they didnt buy it either. Kep you need to vett your sources better.

                    Things are worse in Silicon Valley too -- I knew a guy that was commuting from San Francisco to Cupertino to work for Apple -- eventually he bought a place in somewhere in the valley but it cost him over a million for a place that would be 300K here. I just saw that a place in Sunnyvale recently sold for almost 800K over asking (asking was like 1.6 million for a <2000 square foot 4 bed 2 bath). Sunnyvale used to have more modestly priced real estate compared to near by Mountain View or Palo Alto -- ridiculous overbidding was common in those places for a while. Now it looks like anyone that isn't rich is going to get pushed out of Sunnyvale too (but it borders Mountain View -- home to Google and Cupertino -- home to Apple so you had to expect it at some point)

                      Sources? I always assumed he was his own "source."
                      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                        I can't speak to what you personally heard. Here's the 2016 NPR annual report. Neither of the Koch brothers, or Koch Industries, or any of their subsidiaries appear on the long list of Philanthropic donors or Corporate sponsors. The charge made was that Koch is on NPR's board and/or Koch money has turned NPR into a conservative mouthpiece because it's beholden to Koch billions for support. I imagine it's possible that they have given nominal donations to individual stations which in turn produce some program or another. I don't know and I'm not searching every NPR station to find out. But even if they do that hardly makes Steve Inskeep and Rachel Martin, etc. shills for the Koch brothers.

                          I figured it out -- it's "Marketplace" that I hear the Koch Industry add, which is produced by WGBH, which receives money from Koch Industries.
                          He was able to get Independent Television Service (part of PBS that funds and distributes independent films) to pull it's funding for "Citizen Koch"

                              That makes me feel better living around Boston! Saw in the WSJ today that the Boston market apparently isn't overpriced. According to the article Toronto and Vancouver have the most overpriced real estate in North America.

                                I doubt Kepler cares; he wants your money!

                                And for his favored corporations that push his agenda, I'm sure there's a loophole.
