Of course, that might make the next Republican president look elsewhere if they need a lawyer to help provide legal cover for something as depraved as torturing prisoners or election theft. — PolitiTweet.org

I'll believe the Claremont Institute has reacquired a functioning moral compass when instead of spending years elaborately defending the most egregious actions of men like John Yoo and John Eastman, it simply repudiates their misdeeds. https://t.co/RVK5HX3A71 — PolitiTweet.org

@bkerrjung With the drones they don't need registration, they can just look if any pools lack fences. — PolitiTweet.org

@ubiquity75 Yes, here I am, as ever, valuing liberty a bit more than and reflexively deferring to whatever the state happens to regulate a bit less than most people. — PolitiTweet.org

@FurtherOr @BregmanPs I would be curious to know if the 20,000 unregistered pools were associated with any higher instance of drowning than the registered pools. If not, would this change your view of the regulation? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@sivavaid How do you cheat the water meter? And how does registering a pool prevent that? Seems like an implausible theory. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@bkerrjung I'm fine with basic building codes, and maybe with fence rules too, but that still doesn't mean registering pools with the state is necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

@FurtherOr @BregmanPs Does registering a pool prevent a child from drowning in it? — PolitiTweet.org

"On today’s college campuses, where nearly half of students wouldn’t even want to bunk with a person who votes differently, how can professors create a classroom where students can productively disagree?" https://t.co/UrleWnA0gk — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@FurtherOr @BregmanPs I can make a strong case for the utility of licensing drivers and taxing property. Can you make a similarly strong case for registering pools? Perhaps we differ in that absent a strong case I think the state should mind its own business. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@bkerrjung Obviously the number of children who drown in pools is not non-zero in the long run, but I see no reason to think a registered pool is safer than a non-registered pool RE drowning. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAScales Again, measuring how much water a household uses happens regardless of whether or not it has a pool. — PolitiTweet.org

@bkerrjung Among the 20,000 unregulated pools identified by the drones, how many do you imagine resulted in random children being drowned or chemically burned? — PolitiTweet.org

@sivavaid Water is metered. Why is registering pools necessary to regulate water usage? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey I appreciate this thread and your efforts. It would be helpful for me and maybe for others to hear more about what these DEI efforts you credit actually entail? You've noted what they aren't -- e g. lowering standards or infringing on free speech -- but what are they? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hencough @ijbailey Unless French Cajuns culture is at one extreme or another in ways I'm unaware of I assume French Cajun culture results in more studying than some cultural groups and less studying than others. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey The context that they are being made by a Black man who doesn't believe Black people are inferior, but is being misrepresented as holding that belief, also matters. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ghettorix @ijbailey I do not believe culture is responsible for every disparity; I tend to think racism and its vestiges explain lots of disparities, as I have explored at length RE housing and police violence and murders. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey No, I am totally unfamiliar with this area and am not going to speculate. My only claim here is that claims about immutable inferiority and claims about cultural differences are not the same, they are distinguishable and should be distinguished even if you dislike both. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I don't think coming from an ethnic group that studies more or less on average, whether for cultural or non-cultural reasons, makes that group superior or inferior. I assume many cultural groups study more than French Cajuns. And we are not inferior to those groups. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I don't know whether black students study less or, if they do, whether culture plays any role. All I said was that claims of that sort are different from and ought to be distinguished from claims of inherent racial inferiority. The two things are substantively different. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey No, I don't think that. I don't think that there is anything inherent in Black culture. I don't think John McWhorter thinks that either. — PolitiTweet.org
