I think it's reasonable to say "let's not do anything that might render the Earth uninhabitable in 200 years." But I don't think it's meaningful to say "let's pursue policies that will maximize economic growth over the next 200 years." Because nobody knows what policies do that.

@TheGrinnz @brianbeutler Doesn't the same point apply to Sinema? There's a lot of stuff progressives like in there. And Sinema would probably be happy to run for re-election on a "I tried to pass a bipartisan spending bill but left-wing radicals blocked it" platform.

@postlibertarian The residency system is pretty brutal for residents. Ultimately doctors wind up making a lot of money so we shouldn't feel too sorry for them, but it should be possible to get people the skills they need in a more humane way.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:41:21 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky When my wife was a resident her salary was around $50,000. She was working 60 hours a week so I think minimum wage would have been around $30k.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:39:06 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky They do earn a salary and I think that's part of the problem. It's not legal for someone to offer to do a job for free that they'd otherwise get paid for. And most people aren't in a position to work for free for four years without external financing.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:37:21 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky (I could very well be wrong about this—I'm just not 100 percent convinced the standard story is correct.)
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:36:28 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky I am not convinced that it's actually so expensive to train doctors that hospitals couldn't run residency programs without subsidies. I suspect it's a combination of regulations on the programs plus hospitals having an incentive to pad their costs to get the subsidies.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:35:07 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky I assume you'd have to pass a law to allow this and also provide financing to students who want to do this. I think if Congress had enough interest to do any of this they'd just do a sensible reform of the system instead.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:33:57 +0000 2021
Reforming the system could also help nudge doctors toward generalist fields where there are recurrent doctor shortages. https://t.co/RNwMkiDS6n https://t.co/jhcG79ndqZ
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:33:56 +0000 2021
These states tend to have high costs of living, low population growth rates, and an ample supply of doctors. It's goofy to force many med school graduates to move to these expensive cities for training when many of them will then need to move elsewhere to practice medicine.
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:33:55 +0000 2021
Beyond the wastefulness of not letting people practice a career they've trained for, the system creates other pointless distortions. For example, the federal government disproportionately subsidizes residency programs in a handful of Northeastern states. https://t.co/BGyUZ0c1SV
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:33:54 +0000 2021
My wife went to a highly ranked medical school so I don't think this was a serious danger for her. But overall, around 10 percent of people who graduate from US medical schools don't get a residency spot. https://t.co/6qFV3LJSjP
@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 14:26:56 +0000 2021
I wrote about America's wildly counterproductive failure to create enough residency spots for everyone who graduates from medical school. This means less access to health care and higher health care costs. https://t.co/RNwMkiVtuX https://t.co/AmSJPAAGwl

@BenMazer @JasonPathology I think that was true for my wife because she was in a top five program. But I think @Robert_t_Orr can confirm that it’s not true that grads of us medical schools in general have a negligible risk of not getting into a residency.

@binarybits -- Tue Sep 28 11:32:02 +0000 2021
@BenMazer Students from some overseas medical schools are also eligible.
@postlibertarian -- Tue Sep 28 14:18:47 +0000 2021
Endorse this 100%. Lack of residency spots isn't just a supply side problem pushing up costs though. It eliminates all labor leverage leading to horrendous working conditions. https://t.co/eeex3Owqyf
@dschan02 -- Tue Sep 28 12:48:21 +0000 2021
@binarybits @AmolUtrankar @BenMazer This would represent a waste of every dollar and every hour spent training a subspecialist who ended up underemployed or unemployed. The US's massive subspecialty desirability gap really proves the complete absence of market forces in our allegedly-capitalist healthcare system.
@postlibertarian -- Tue Sep 28 16:23:41 +0000 2021
@binarybits Absolutely. And the supply constraints are linked to both high wages and poor conditions. But I would guess making residency unpleasant skews the pool of doctors. Instead of optimizing for only the "best" it's now "the best who are willing to tolerate poor treatment"
@Protons4B -- Tue Sep 28 20:32:14 +0000 2021
@binarybits Economics does have something to contribute to these issues, but as this cartoon makes clear, this is not primarily an economic problem. https://t.co/jgjKzxcIBg
@dschan02 -- Tue Sep 28 12:39:10 +0000 2021
@binarybits @AmolUtrankar @BenMazer If you simply told every residency program to expand as much as they'd like, all formerly desirable specialties would find an equilibrium point where oversupply and underemployment are exactly equal and opposite to the positive/desirable aspects of the specialty. (see #radonc)
@postlibertarian -- Tue Sep 28 14:18:48 +0000 2021
Residents don't even have an incentive to accurately report hours, bc if your program gets shut down due to violations, that's bad for you too. As for abusive attendings, what are residents going to do, quit?
@dschan02 -- Tue Sep 28 12:48:34 +0000 2021
@binarybits @AmolUtrankar @BenMazer In a free market, if there were way too many plumbers and not enough roofers, the price of plumbing would go down and the price of roofing would go up until the two fields were more evenly matched with demand.
@postlibertarian -- Tue Sep 28 15:25:03 +0000 2021
@AlexGodofsky @binarybits Wonder if there's a pairing between "teaching" coverage and subsidization. If an intern messes up, you need to show you followed regulations. So if there's no regulatory space for "residents' work is insured by regulations, but isn't subsidized" then it won't exist.

@mllichti @joshcnicholas yeah that's the plan to get around the debt ceiling. But the intent of the statute authorizing platinum coins is to auction them to collectors, so I was just doing a "what if we actually did that?" thought experiment

@Deome By law it has to be platinum. The statute regulates denominations of every other metal type, platinum is the only thing we have flexibility on. But the caveat is that while it would have $1T face value it will only contain about $1000 worth of platinum
@hyperplanes -- Wed Sep 29 00:05:19 +0000 2021
@joshcnicholas yes, the fact that no one has that kind of liquidity. And unlike the existing platinum coins you couldn't split the coin into parts, because half a $1T coin is only worth maybe $450 of platinum
@hyperplanes -- Wed Sep 29 00:02:19 +0000 2021
I mean in some sense it should be easy to afford a coin up to its face value, at worst the coin is collateral on a loan. But when you get up into the $1T territory this asset puts you into such an illiquid position, seems likely that the coin would have negative numismatic value
@hyperplanes -- Tue Sep 28 23:57:46 +0000 2021

When I called and he admitted that he was in the hospital, he was more annoyed than anything else. He tripped, he hurt his leg, couldn't go home for a week or so. How irritating. How dumb. He blamed himself. He loved me, hoped I was well, he was fine, etc. That was the last call.

@poorlyhidden Nothing odd about it, I think. If an officer puts a gun to your head and says he’ll shoot you unless you go into your house and bring out your drugs, and you comply, you become a state actor when you search your own house for your own evidence. It’s not a consent search.
@OrinKerr -- Tue Sep 28 17:50:58 +0000 2021
@poorlyhidden No. 18 U.S.C. 2703(f) requires providers to comply; it doesn't give them a choice. So complying makes them state actors, not private parties that are consenting to a seizure.

@imillhiser -- Tue Sep 28 21:37:34 +0000 2021
@TheStalwart Sure. On the margins, I'd rather have a Fed Chair who is burning inflation hawkery to the ground AND tough on banks AND has a creative plan to use the Fed's powers to mitigate climate change. But if you can only have one, always pick the guy who is strong on monetary policy.
@imillhiser -- Tue Sep 28 21:30:51 +0000 2021
@TheStalwart This strikes me as exactly right. I think part of the problem here (although this doesn't explain Warren), is that monetary policy is complicated and few people understand it, but "bad banks are bad" is easy to understand. So anti-Powell forces have a rhetorical advantage.

@FlorianMKern @TheStalwart 1. It's not a ploy of the executive branch it's honoring *all* of Congress's statutory commitments rather than only *some* under the 14A option (which requires ignoring the debt ceiling law itself). 2. The Fed remits net operating profits to Tsy. So having the coin on balance

@SGJohnsson @nic__carter Well again, I think the purpose of laws is usually to help shape some kind of value, or purpose, or guide society in some way, which the debt ceiling doesn't do.

@TheStalwart -- Tue Sep 28 19:28:13 +0000 2021
@SGJohnsson @nic__carter Well for example, the law against murder is consistent with a widely shared value that murder is bad. Whereas the debt ceiling -- which is disconnected from spending itself -- doesn't even have the effect of constraining the debt. So I'd say it's more arbitrary than other laws

This is an excellent point. People who cite the Treasury's ability to "prioritize" payments in some way are actually advocating an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers, whereby the executive branch unliterally decides which of Congress' allocations get honored. https://t.co/E9Eu7YMouj
@TheStalwart -- Tue Sep 28 18:41:19 +0000 2021
Each time we go through this process -- even if you are absolutely certain that the ceiling will be raised in the end -- there's some % of the public who's takeaway is that the US is testing the limits of its economic borrowing capacity.
@TheStalwart -- Tue Sep 28 18:40:03 +0000 2021
Another unfortunate byproduct of not nuking the debt ceiling is that because the absurdity of the law isn't communicated very well (by the media and politicians) it bolsters popular narratives about the US having tenuous fiscal sustainability. EG: https://t.co/6rFwPPLkl4

I think of my dad before all this happened, still working, living in his own (rented) home, looking out at the mountains, calling his children in California and in France. The doctors and nurses say that a full recovery and getting off the trache is possible, but will be hard.

One problem with the "big opening bid" theory is that people don't necessarily know what's "big". If the $3.5T bill gets cut down to $2.8T, was it gutted, or was $3.5T just a big opening bid?? https://t.co/L71CeVoG38

By that point my dad had been on a vent for more than ten days, simply because of a lack of access to care. If you're a med professional, you know why this matters. All signs looked good and so they decided to extubate him. At first he tolerated it, and then...he didn't.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:54:46 +0000 2021
They gave me the option of "making him comfortable" instead, and you know what that means. But I'm my dad's PoA and he'd been clear that he wanted people to fight for him in a circumstance like this, so I said no. I told them to fight and do whatever they could to save him.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:29:41 +0000 2021
In normal circumstances, they simply would have transferred my dad to a larger hospital. There were several close by. It would have been routine. But due to Covid, it was impossible—so impossible, they thought, that they didn't even tell me he needed to be transferred.

After about five panicked hours of contacting every hospital, every person I could think of, and screaming my helplessness into the maw of the internet to see if anyone, anyone at all could help us, we finally reached a doctor in an ABQ hospital ICU who agreed to admit my dad.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:32:55 +0000 2021
A few days later, while I had thought my dad was improving—I kept being reassured by the nurses when I called—I finally called and got an exhausted, angry nurse who said bluntly: "we are tapped out and because of that your father is going to die. Maybe today. I'm sorry."

@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 12:00:21 +0000 2021
To save my dad, they had to perform a tracheostomy for long-term weaning from the ventilator. That means making a hole in his windpipe. "Like Stephen Hawking," someone said. It might be temporary, it might not. They didn't know if it would save him, but so far at least, it has.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:42:00 +0000 2021
The doctor said to "send him any leads" so when I called the hospitals, I said I was calling on his behalf. I never said I was his assistant or medical staff, but they talked to me. They were all maxed out. Nothing they could do.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:39:27 +0000 2021
My dad's doctor said that New Mexico's ICU bed planning was centralized, so there was no point calling NM hospitals, but I could try ICUs in CO, AZ, TX, UT, CA—even though, he said, they had already tried all those. He would try again. I could call. I think he was humoring me.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:37:44 +0000 2021
Now, there have been other stories like ours in the news over the past month or so. There was the father who was turned away from 43 ICUs and sadly passed away. People were being flown across state lines to try to save them, their families in terror, the health systems in chaos.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:34:18 +0000 2021
I demanded to speak to the doctor and he said more or less the same thing. The state was maxed out. My dad needed a cardiac ICU bed, or at least a cardiologist, and there was nothing for him. There was no hope, and no point even trying. Everywhere was full of the unvaccinated.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:53:19 +0000 2021
Three days later, they had to intubate my dad for the third time. They said that doing this could result in a permanent disability. He could fully recover, but he also might not ever be independent again.

@GenePark Hell yeah. Let me spend money on memes that I will never want to think about again but can still use in Fortnite 4: 4ortnite.

@csilverandgold Taking Biden hostage to threaten Manchin is the worst possible strategy here...who has more to lose from a failed Biden presidency, Manchin, or progressives? That's not a rhetorical question!
@jkosseff -- Wed Sep 29 11:15:17 +0000 2021
Another take, which I won't link to, arguing that we should amend Section 230 to prohibit "misinformation." This sounds appealing, but it is not practical because the First Amendment (for good reason) protects a good deal of lies.

In the past, sometimes recalcitrant organizations like the FDA have tried to go against Moderna's scientists, and even been "hesitant" to adopt Moderna's recommendations. But I am glad they are beginning to get the hang of "following the science" and I hope they keep doing so!

These aren't stories about perks, or ridiculous compensation. They're more like "when my spouse was sick everyone was supportive" and "I got fired from there but I'd go back in a second if they'd have me." I can't express how uncommon this is.

Powell is asked if the inflation we're seeing is broader and more structural than earlier in the year. "Yes, I think it's fair to say that it is." Supply bottlenecks "have not only not gotten better, they've actually gotten worse." He points to ships parked off the port of L.A.

If progressives kill the infrastructure bill, they'll keep lead in the drinking water of millions of marginalized people. And they'll starve trains and buses of funding all across America. And they'll show Dems can't govern. DON'T DO THOSE THINGS. https://t.co/elVn2hsp9I
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 11:30:00 +0000 2021
The bipartisan infrastructure bill would be a huge win for progressivism. It would get rid of lead water pipes in America. It would pour $105 billion into trains and transit. It would prove that big government is good for the economy. TAKE THE W. https://t.co/elVn2haNL8

@Noahpinion I worked at our law school CLE as an undergrad. Our director had a post JD degree & insisted we refer to him as Doctor. He made me write essays for the Federalist Society newsletter despite my being a public employee and 18. They were not good, because of incompetence and intent.

Kai Strittmatter's "We Have Been Harmonized" really home the point that under Deng, Jiang, and Hu, China really did create a novel, flexible, adaptible new form of autocracy...but then Xi Jinping came in and started turning it into something older and more familiar.

@puremalarkey Again, I think you're confusing public opinion with progressive Twitter opinion here, but now we're going in circles. Anyway, I will circle back when stuff happens, and we can see!
