@mtgillikin it is genuinely hard for me to understand why people don’t see how this is mutually exclusive! and that’s even before we get to the fact that many of these folks will treat any new housing (other than a SFH) as “luxury.” — PolitiTweet.org

@judesboro (And also how no one ever talks about this stuff in the context of say, massive tax breaks for owners of capital and property, especially those who inherited it) — PolitiTweet.org

@judesboro I think it isn’t ridicule worthy in the abstract but it is in the context of currently existing US politics, where work requirements are more often designed to punish people who need assistance, not help them. — PolitiTweet.org

@mtgillikin The issue that it is bafflingly difficult to get people to understand is that new residents are coming ANYWAY and the only real question is how you accommodate the growth without displacing existing residents. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@mtgillikin Underlying problem is people conflate the residents of new housing in a supply crunch with the housing itself, which leads to perverse outcomes like opposing new amenities or new buildings for existing residents for fear of attracting the wrong people. — PolitiTweet.org

@judesboro One last thing! The workfare that the original posy lampoons and work requirements are two very different things. “Access to government aid is bundled with public employment” is much more palatable than “You can’t collect your child allowance unless you work a low wage job.” — PolitiTweet.org

@judesboro Setting aside the underlying assumption that all potential workers have equal access to the labor market and if they don’t, it must be because a lack of either skill or initiative. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@judesboro The problem is there is no real evidence that the kind of work requirements preferred by policymakers on the right — which amount to major administrative burdens that result in the least help going to the most needy — actually encourage work. — PolitiTweet.org

@RottenInDenmark @citgo2005 also, and not for nothing…she’s a terrible writer which makes it hard to parse her argument — PolitiTweet.org

one thing i love about BLOOD AND BONE, a pretty solid DTV street fighting flick, is that the film makes no attempt whatsoever to explain why Michael Jai White’s character is the best fighter in the world. the movie is like, “have you seen the guy? of course he is!” — PolitiTweet.org

@lowercasebooks @RottenInDenmark an aging academic at an elite institution who is frustrated by the mores of each successive generation of students and doesn’t want to adjust or change or attempt to understand? sounds like an ideal case. — PolitiTweet.org

@varsha_venkat_ the terror makes much more sense conceptually when you think of it as an attempt to consolidate the regime that got out of hand. (also the terror wasn’t even the most violent past! *looks over at the vendee*) — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@varsha_venkat_ absolutely. what makes it even more confusing is that americans are not taught about anti-loyalist violence or the mass exodus of loyalists at the conclusion of the war, so there is no comparison point. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@varsha_venkat_ definitely the violence, and i’d also say the way that the french revolution became tied up in partisan politics in the 1790s — PolitiTweet.org
