The US Department of Agriculture, for example, can tell you how many chickens were slaughtered last month. We built that capacity. But we didn’t build the capacity for the Justice Department to count how many people were murdered last month. https://t.co/Rtqed5oih6 — PolitiTweet.org

“State capacity” is a hot topic and something I think should be appreciated about it is that capacity isn’t a unitary thing and it’s not necessarily fungible across domains. For example, can the US government count things in an accurate and timely manner? Sometimes! — PolitiTweet.org

The USDA can tell you how many chickens were slaughtered last month because we built that capacity. DOJ cannot tell you how many murders happened last month because we have not built that capacity. https://t.co/Hs6stjD0uO — PolitiTweet.org
