Conservatives and libertarians can be temporary allies on some policy issues, but ultimately the two are incompatible, and the political conservative will inevitably turn against individual liberty, as we've seen with the GOP's embrace of authoritarianism. https://t.co/42XbUZx9W1

Strategically speaking, progressives should definitely tank the infrastructure bill and hold out for a $6 trillion package, maybe even $10 trillion. Surely Manchin and Sinema will fold. And then utopia will be here. https://t.co/oERSYzvk1A
@LPDonovan -- Tue Sep 28 18:21:47 +0000 2021
Seems to me Ds need to get the BIF stuff buttoned up to be able to face reality on the debt limit, which is why the doubling down by progs and lack of assurance from the holdouts is really creating a broader problem even as Pelosi tries to choreograph the landing.

@JDWilson08 -- Wed Sep 29 00:22:33 +0000 2021
@snlester @CHNTradeMonitor @WeihuanZhou Agreed. But my view is in a lot of AD instances, you're seeing govts shoe-horn issues that should really be dealt with as CVDs into more permissive ADs. (i.e. rather than remedying a subsidy directly, you remedy dumping that's resulting from a subsidy). PMS is a prime example
@JDWilson08 -- Tue Sep 28 23:43:09 +0000 2021
@snlester @CHNTradeMonitor @WeihuanZhou Like the implicit message in both the barley and wine AD determinations by MOFCOM is crystal clear - "you follow the Yanks in PMS-ing us, well we'll PMS you right back..." They're clearly designed as a deterrent.
@JDWilson08 -- Tue Sep 28 23:40:46 +0000 2021
@snlester @CHNTradeMonitor @WeihuanZhou Yes! While MOFCOM did not explicitly invoke PMS in either the barley (DS598) or wine (DS602) AD determinations, if you read them its pretty clear they're shoe-horning the "philosophy" of PMS into their method. I personally believe this could bring them unstuck at panel however.
@JDWilson08 -- Tue Sep 28 23:33:08 +0000 2021
@snlester @CHNTradeMonitor @WeihuanZhou The use (or misuse, depending on your view) of the PMS designation is absolutely central to US-PRC trade disputes.

@snlester -- Wed Sep 29 00:14:31 +0000 2021
@JDWilson08 @CHNTradeMonitor @WeihuanZhou I think it's worth distinguishing AD from CVD though. At least with CVD there's always some government economic intervention that could be of concern. AD doesn't require that.

@DanAwrey @jp_koning @WilliamJLuther @nic__carter @jerrybrito @naomibrockwell @lawrencehwhite1 @CaitlinLong_ @mikejcasey @norbertjmichel Yep. The other exception should be for USD "tokens" issued by banks (including "special-purpose banks" w/ Fed Master Accounts, should we ever see any!). Although IOUs, these are essentially analogous to bank deposits, so their issuers should not have to register w/ the SEC.

@GeorgeSelgin @jp_koning @WilliamJLuther @nic__carter @jerrybrito @naomibrockwell @lawrencehwhite1 @CaitlinLong_ @mikejcasey @norbertjmichel Sure, but I don’t think those custodians can trade alongside their clients.

In other words, by switching to floor systems, central banks have destroyed markets that had been banks' _first resort_ for dealing with liquidity shortages. So instead of reducing banks' dependence upon them as sources of last resort liquidity, they've increased it.

Well, many of you will say I'm crazy, and perhaps you'd be right. But I'm not sure that Canada's solution is ultimately better. If it's security regulators aren't too heavy-handed, it might be. But if they are, it could be the lesser evil.
@GeorgeSelgin -- Tue Sep 28 11:03:29 +0000 2021
Suppose I proposed an opposite rue from the CSA's, to wit, that _no_ tokens firms that deal in them will be considered securities or security dealers! That would be "elegant" as the CSA's solution and, IMHO, about as legally sound.
@GeorgeSelgin -- Tue Sep 28 11:03:29 +0000 2021
But this appeal to a Bitcoiner maxim is hardly "good legal sense." The legal definition of "ownership" is "the legal right to use, possess, and give away a thing." Clearly, by this definition, merely possessing keys that allow access to property isn't the same as "owning" it.
@GeorgeSelgin -- Tue Sep 28 11:03:28 +0000 2021
In response, JP reports, "The CSA has taken the old bitcoin maxim 'not your keys not your bitcoin' to heart," ruling based on that claims on crypto custodians are debt contracts, hence securities.
@GeorgeSelgin -- Tue Sep 28 11:03:28 +0000 2021
In particular, it seems to me that Kraken is correct in its letter arguing that a token custodian doesn't take possession of crypto assets placed with it, and that this makes it a bailee rather than a debtor. https://t.co/MzdGy2hcPP

I'm a broken record here, but whatever is happening on Capitol Hill right now is functionally incomprehensible to anyone whose full-time job isn't paying attention to it.

Or to put it less politely: Richard Haass earns around $1.7 million a year. For that kind of money, I'd be happy to provide way better 🔥 takes about international politics. https://t.co/YiXDgjw9hh

@dhnexon We have cards? I'd suggest the "j-curve" problem of managed retrenchment: that things may well get worse before they get better, which produces political incentives to go back in (a la Iraq). And that the period of biggest security risk is probably the transition period.

For weeks, I saw dozens of articles claiming China has designs on Afghan rare earths, lithium, and various minerals. In a new article for @ForeignPolicy, Matthew Funaiole and I debunk this speculation and call for clear-eyed assessments of US interests. https://t.co/4cY1OF3oB0

Wonder if we will look back at this era and consider how China squandered its rise to a superpower status by being a dick to everyone around them as well as a big segment of its own population.

Also this idea that we could build a limited number of interceptors to defend against "rogue states" was ridiculous from the beginning
@dex_eve -- Tue Sep 28 22:03:51 +0000 2021
I find people who think that missile defense shouldn't be on the table for future arms control efforts a little silly.
@james_acton32 -- Tue Sep 28 21:56:34 +0000 2021
It’s almost as if US missile defenses have led other countries to develop technologies to defeat them. https://t.co/Mbe7EMyjcg
@james_acton32 -- Tue Sep 28 14:29:41 +0000 2021
@clary_co @KomissarWhipla To the extent DOD has identified a mission at all, it's been defense suppression (i.e. countering A2/AD capabilities).
