        Is it fair to say that the overton window is only moving right when we are still making progress moving it left?

        The overton window isn’t a zero-sum measure. It can expand simultaneously in both directions. Given that we have nazis in the street now, I’d say it’s not correct to say that it’s moving only left either.

      That has little to do with whatever political machinations are occurring and more to do with housing and necessities inflation driving labor pressure as a lagging inflation indicator.

      Think of it as a tectonic/landscape thing rather than the stupid games people happen to be playing on the landscape.

      Of course if any of them had their heads out of their own asses, or the asses of their owners, they might recognize this and start adapting…
