@Noahpinion Does this suggest that one could do, for example, pairwise comparisons between several PMs in Japan and e.g. Biden with your comment reliably predicting your thoughts as to who was more moderate, or is that an unfair bar to hold this commentary to?

@ByrneHobart In all seriousness, I would *love* to see them do a TWILIGHT ZONE-esque half-hour anthology series based on Dahl’s adult stories. “Man From the South” would go over great as an episode.
@ByrneHobart -- Mon Sep 27 22:52:33 +0000 2021
@patio11 I think Dahl was smart to write so much children's literature, where his love of violence and dark humor just looked quirky. He really likes killing.
@ByrneHobart -- Mon Sep 27 22:46:33 +0000 2021
Dahl's estate will provide some nice, high-class dramas for the grown-ups, but Netflix will have to be very careful that kids who are looking for The BFG don't end up watching a show about a woman who bludgeons her husband with a leg of lamb and then feeds it to the police.
@ByrneHobart -- Mon Sep 27 22:45:20 +0000 2021
The Dahl/Netflix story reminds me of that time in 5th grade or so when a teacher realized I was bored and gave me a random Roald Dahl book to read. It was not a children's book! Most memorable story was this one: https://t.co/CqED5dTRlV but there was plenty of murder, too.

An American melting pot in which both White and Black people are minor players is incredibly interesting, because it allows us to observe which things about American culture go beyond our traditional racial divide -- and thus envision the future of an integrated, mixed America.

@stan_keshi The connection is psychological. It's not in the genes.

@puremalarkey Conservatives don't have any policy plans except preserve the status quo and ban CRT and abortion at the state level. They already got all their tax cuts. What's left to bribe them with? They're just gonna sit there and block everything as long as they can.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:31:25 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey I think the "until they get some of what they want" part is the flaw here. It's like step 2 in the Underpants Gnome plan. Remember, if Congress passes absolutely nothing, conservatives pretty much win.

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:29:31 +0000 2021
@stan_keshi I mean, I share genes with my ancestors, but the idea that this means I share ownership of a nation with them is purely psychological.

@stan_keshi I don't think your genetic definition of "replacement" makes any sense...
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:16:53 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey I mean, America is more conservative than us, and America's governing class is more conservative than America, and this is a problem. And it's a problem I don't think we can solve by refusing to remove lead from pipes.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:15:00 +0000 2021
@stan_keshi I mean, I just don't care about "founding stock" as much as you do. Or really at all, tbh. Like...who cares if you share genes with the Mayflower people? That means zilch to me. I don't understand why I should care about that. America isn't in the genetic code.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:13:10 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:09:06 +0000 2021
@stan_keshi The point is, America's racial composition has changed. We are now only 73% White+Black. I want to know what that does to our society. I'm pretty optimistic it will be good. But I want to understand the changes.

@puremalarkey Blowing up the infra bill to get Manchin is like hitting Manchin in the knee with our nuts.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:02:51 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey Yes, because I don't actually know how to threaten them. I assume there are threats. I just know this isn't one. This isn't a threat. So let's not tell ourselves it is.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:01:59 +0000 2021
@Theophite Manchin and Sinema will take no heat if progressives vote down a bill that Manchin and Sinema voted for. So blowing up that bill is simply not a credible threat.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:00:14 +0000 2021
@jaycaspiankang Yep. Suburbs have always been the engines of integration in America, possibly because they're just so hellishly isolating that you have to hang out with whoever there is.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:58:57 +0000 2021
@stan_keshi So if your parents die and you're still here, you didn't replace them because you're genetically related to them??
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:58:24 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey The answer is no, of course. So the question becomes how to credibly threaten them. And blowing up infra just isn't any kind of a threat to them. So use the threats we do have.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:57:35 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:51:57 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey There's just no convincing argument here that killing infrastructure, or even just threatening to kill it, will exert any kind of leverage over the centrists. If I thought it would it would be a different ball game.

@ringtrick I mean, I was going to praise Haitian immigration specifically, but I realized that no one actually cares anymore.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:31:44 +0000 2021
Anyway, killing infrastructure will not hurt Manchin; he voted FOR the bill. Threatening to kill the bill will not compel Manchin to support reconciliation; other means of compulsion must be found. Vote for the infra bill because it's good, and because it's progressive. (end)
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:28:44 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey Nobody takes heat for the death of things they vote in favor of!
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:28:29 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey They voted for the infra bill. If it dies they won't take the heat; they voted for it. The complex idea that its survival hinged on a deal about the reconciliation bill will not make it into the heads of American voters; it's far too complex.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:27:30 +0000 2021
Was going to write a post about how well Haitian immigrants do in America, and then I realized it doesn't matter, because the people who really care about halting immigration don't actually give a shit about that, and everyone else already likes immigrants. https://t.co/UN4Z26Ba4O
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:25:37 +0000 2021
@ImNotOwned @Taara535 Why are people acting like this is an alternative to the reconciliation bill? The idea that killing this bill will hurt Manchin in any way is fantasy.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:18:20 +0000 2021
@JimJamison84 Days or weeks are fine. But if that turns into months, it saps Biden's momentum, and that will be bad. Most worryingly, if Manchin calls progressives' bluff, and they actually vote DOWN the bill, that's a disaster.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:16:47 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey It's not fine; Manchin and Sinema are horrible. But can they be compelled by threatening the infra bill? If it goes down, they don't take any heat. They were fine not passing infra in 2019, and 2018, and 2017, etc. They'll be fine. This is not leverage.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:03:39 +0000 2021
@TheOmniZaddy I mean of course they need to do this, but threatening the infra bill is pointless; if it fails, Manchin and Sinema won't take the blame for its failure. So there's no leverage there. Instead, simply put them in the spotlight as the obstructionists they are.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:36 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey There's no goddamn leverage there. If the infrastructure bill fails, Manchin and Sinema won't be blamed; they voted for it.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:09 +0000 2021
@TWOMARD @BrandyFromTX Whether the infra bill passes will have no effect on their votes, unfortunately. If it fails to pass they won't take the blame.

Achilles heel for creators isn't monetization, it's discovery. Always has been. Obscurity is far greater threat to writers, musicians, filmmakers than things like making $ or piracy. Solving for that legitimately helps creatives. Once they have attention all the other doors open.

The vaccine mandate is a clarifying example of police unions being entirely indifferent to public safety, because there’s no risk at all to the officers and no real opportunity to frame it as somehow leading to more crime.

The AER and QJE are quite similar to me. Very in your face, no frills. I do like all caps blocked letters of QJE titles and names.
