I think “secular, but strongly nationalistic with mushy views on economics” is probably a decent model of the typical person who’d vote for Obama twice and then for Trump twice. https://t.co/aI8f75UVX6

I think it was @reihan who first pilled me about this, but @alon_levy’s explanation of why joint federal-state-local financing of transportation infrastructure leads to bloated projects is the clearest I’ve seen. https://t.co/H6NCWaWXVp
A take I’ve been meaning to do at full length but will just toss off half-assed here for now is that some of what progressives conceptualize as a debate about race and racism plays to a lot of people as a debate about patriotism.
My six year old’s argument that he should be allowed to watch cartoons this morning because “sometimes it’s a three-day weekend” is largely nonsensical. But he’s already succeeded in turning this talking point into a nightmare for dads seeking peace & quiet to drink coffee.

America is just awash in joint programs which should be mostly federalized (Medicaid, UI) or genuinely devolved (transportation).
What we should have is a generic federal credit program to ensure that state governments can access cheap financing for ideas they consider worthwhile (or just countercyclical stabilization), but where they’re still playing with their own money. https://t.co/eVT6JbLl0M
I walked past this project today and saw a sign indicating something like an 8:1 ratio of federal to local money; you’d be crazy not to featherbed with that amount of other people’s money. https://t.co/Mi8Dr2wRHJ
The more you think America is teetering on the brink of collapsing into an authoritarian dictatorship, the *more* you should be urging progressives to trim their sails on left-left cultural politics in order to win. But the revealed preference is the opposite. https://t.co/JyiShP1Imc

To me the play is to articulate *pride* in the United States as a multi-ethnic success story and heap scorn on the racists so alarmed by demographic change that they’d trade this great land of ours for a pot of goulash. https://t.co/FLOpn1NaTR
My boring take is that the truth is somewhere between these poles, but very few people calibrate their prescriptions to their diagnosis at all.
If Trump is a clownish, inept, floundering figure then sure — swing for the fences, take your shot, and aim for true greatness accepting that you might lose. But if he’s menace, you need to do timid defensive crouch politics.
My relationship to academia is after I did my senior thesis defense, Prof. Korsgaard asked what my plans were for after graduation. I said I had a job lined up at a magazine in DC and she said "that seems to be about your speed."

@jbarro I would say that both sides carry a fair amount of blame here — back to the tobacco controversies in the 90s and then climate change, conservatives have a bad habit of just rejecting any scientific evidence that implies we need any regulation of anything.
@jimsciutto What @crampell is saying is the bill doesn’t run up debt, it finances new spending by taxing rich people and businesses.

@jbarro Why are spending and deficit levels important? I don't think either are. What matters, IMO, is quality, and quantity. And given the heterogeneity of the economy (where there are shortages, where there aren't etc.) what does a headline number that combines it all accomplish?

I think "cost" is properly measured as the net increase in spending, not the net increase in the deficit.

@conorsen Would it even be the USA if the coalitions weren‘t blind, fumbling agglomerations hiding behind razor thin margins in a two party system?
@conorsen @TylerDinucci They‘re running in a federal election for the first time, and as a minority, the 5 percent threshold doesn’t apply for them. Therefore, I think around 30k votes are enough for a seat.
@conorsen @TylerDinucci There is a small-ish Danish speaking minority in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. SSW is a small political party that represents them. This is the first time they've won a federal seat, although they're a fixture of the state Lantag and were in the last Government there.

@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn And I should say, inflammatory in both directions, since its underlying premise — if I’m right about what you think here — is that the American electorate contains a huge amount of anti-black racism that Democrats have to tread carefully around.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn But since Democrats do need to attract those voters, and the party is already coded as “racially liberal” (to put it politely), directly addressing black concerns over racism ends up alienating the “50-year-old white people” who say are in the driver’s seat of American politics.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn So this makes me think that the reason people keep saying your point is banal is that you’re not actually stating your point. As I read you, you’re saying something like “Democrats are undermining themselves by making ‘attitudes about black people’ a salient political concern.”

@CharlesFLehman But … cultural capital isn’t money. Clout isn’t money. Money isn’t money. Also, we have framed entire cities as “elite,” when most of their residents are not.
NYT: "Like everyone else, you're sinking into despair when not bingeing Ted Lasso. But here's some books to try." Person 1: "Does this account for people who don't like reading books." Person 2: "Also linear thought is hegemonic."
If you’re gonna have that penalty, you should just be able to retroactively apply it. That was as bad as anything that gets someone tossed from a game and suspended. Also not sure we need to close up of an unconscious Adams
“Go back to your hood” is a bizarre thing to say anyone in Williamsburg, a neighborhood that belongs to no one, “little neoliberalism.”

NYT: "Let's assume everyone does this random yuppie thing, in the second person." "Uh this article that plainly doesn't apply to me doesn't apply to me." "Also it's capitalism."
A thing I’ve been contemplating and will write on is how our discussions about class (which should be about money) have become about cultural class, and not about money at all. Which is weird!
The mathematician & polymath Sridhar Ramesh for years has had one of the wittiest Twitter accounts, super smart, sweet and dyspeptic, with a genius for conceptual humor Not clear what did this--he has a history of antagonizing Hindu nationalists--but I'm sure it's undeserved. https://t.co/XAQOUlMOWL
Now you can be an elite while making virtually no money, while someone who owns like six car dealerships in Findlay, Ohio is not an elite, despite having a significant income. This is very strange to me!
Being an elite, to me, should mean “being wealthy and thus having more economic power,” but that’s not what people frame it to mean anymore, because that would indict too many of those very same people.
I think @OsitaNwanevu made this point over the weekend but we very rarely discuss working class people who live in major cities or on the coasts, people who are somehow framed as “elite” purely because they live in a city.
I think the overall thing is not that the guy who has a PhD has no power, or that the guy who owns six car dealerships has no power, it's that they *both* have power, but neither seems to want that, because that carries responsibility in some manner.
The interpretation is always that the authority will be one you like, that the order and predictability will be of your liking https://t.co/kjcW2nBXA1

Because you know, everyone's aging. Age only goes up, and at the same rate for everyone.
Part of the whole aging Senate thing is the people who are recognized as ancient, and another part is new members who are in their sixties. But there's also people who have been around a while who you might not think of as "old", like uh, Maria Cantwell is about to turn 63.
The good thing about following politics is you only have to keep track of so many people because everyone's been around for 30 years. Tim Ryan's finally running statewide!

For sure, the 1961 planners' vision has been marred over the years, by such unfortunate happenings as the Clean Air Act lawsuit that led to the abolition of parking requirements in part of Manhattan, as well as rezonings here & there. But cards are decked in favor of status quo.
In the 1970s it was decided that the 1961 zoning resolution was so perfect and rational that every conceivable barrier should be placed in the way of any corrective zoning. ULURP was born (there's a lot of people who know more about the history than I do). https://t.co/4cN1MAdvlk
To clarify: the planners I'm complaing about are the City Planning Commission that made this mess in 1961. Current NYC planning staff is quite powerless to do anything about it due to the insanely high hoops to corrective planning in NYC, baked into the city charter.

In wake of stock trading controversy, Boston Fed leader Rosengren announces retirement effective Sept. 30, cites health condition.
@DrDave91 @mattyglesias Worse than NJ strip malls though.
The announcement says Rosengren's retirement was moved up due to ongoing kidney issues In the backdrop, his retirement also comes during an intense month when the Fed launched a review of financial trading rules for officials, spurred by Rosengren and Kaplan's trading activity
Statement from Jerome Powell: Rosengren "led the Fed’s work in managing several emergency lending facilities in 2 separate periods of economic crisis...Eric brought a relentless focus on how best to ensure the stability of the financial system. My colleagues & I will miss him.”
.@BostonFed's Eric Rosengren is retiring, citing health conditions. He's served as bank president for 14 years. "In a message to the Bank’s staff, Dr. Rosengren revealed for the first time that he qualified for the kidney transplant list in June of 2020"

I guess my point is that unless OPEC is putting another embargo on the US like it did 50 years ago, OPEC will instead work on stabilizing the market so that there won’t be massive shortages.
Saddam torched 1.5 BILLION BARRELS of Kuwaiti oil. We’re talking about 5 million barrels per day for 300 days. Even that didn’t cause $100 oil because Saudi and others ramped up production in order to compensate loss. US taxpayers saved Kuwait, so OPEC had to spare US taxpayers. https://t.co/L4X7BuqRGx

Ask yourselves this one question: What potential does a drug dealer have if his junkie clients end up dead or unable to pay? OPEC+ will never allow a repeat of the Q2 2008 price spike because they all remember what the Q4 looked like.
And no, I am not bearish on oil because I am not taking a position against it. I think water is the mother of all commodities and will do well no matter if there's a drought or a flood. Oil should stay flat in the $70's if the upstream sector isn't taking on debt to pump more.
The biggest concern (as I see it) in the oil market right now is the slowdown of the Chinese economy. Imports are not at peak anymore. They are just not hoarding oil at these prices. Even the discounts from Iran and Venezuela aren't as attractive as they used to be.
Oil is the one commodity that can flip overnight because it is driven by a cartel of nations that represent nearly 2/3rds of the total global output. With commodity prices overheating, the costs of living outpace income. That is a major concern for the state of global economy.
Last Friday I put in an order to exit my energy mutual fund. It should take effect by end of today. I feel that the narrative is now getting too crowded on the buy side of oil.

@IrvingSwisher Hmmm…isn’t Yunnan 1500 miles southwest of Beijing? I don’t think “blue skies for the Winter Olympics” has anything to do with that one.
The world should probably be focusing its attention right now on how it’s going to generate more electricity, rather than on how it’s going to build more electric vehicles. https://t.co/bI0ByVXg1E
