It’s kind of a bummer that the expensive prime steaks really are clearly better than the cheaper ones, I always want this to be some kind of scam you can just opt out of. — PolitiTweet.org

There is nothing wrong with making a bad call, nobody thinks of Elon Musk as primarily a prognosticator on legal issues, but it’s good practice for own intellectual development to own up to mistakes and try to consider where you erred. — PolitiTweet.org

@sdamico Congress passed quiet pro-nuclear reforms in 2019’s NEIMA and in the 2020 lame duck but the sticking point now is at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and while congress could potentially help unstick that, it would have to involve noisy pressure not “secret”-style action. — PolitiTweet.org

@olivertraldi I think a lot of things have this property (objectively not a big deal but easy to get fired-up about if it happens unjustly to someone you like) it's just that "internet stuff" happens at large scale. — PolitiTweet.org

@AJKayWriter I don't think the Trump administration was doing a lot to incite panic or inflate perception of risk. — PolitiTweet.org

The Crank Realignment is one of the under-explored phenomena of our era. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, the government had very little interest in enforcing Covid rules (not like what you can see on YouTube from Australia) and no ability to force the cautious people to stop being cautious. Policy surely mattered but it mattered less than people think. — PolitiTweet.org

The first several times I went to the movies after the theaters reopened they were empty, it took months and months and months for people to want to come back. But earlier in the pandemic, people in my neighborhood were breaking the rules and throwing house parties. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think the biggest mistake people make in thinking about the Covid era is overrating top-down policy relative to bottom-up behavior. DCPS was slower to reopen than I preferred but DC charters were even slower to return and clung longer to masks. — PolitiTweet.org

@DaddyDeux @TomNuge54783838 @elonmusk Here is my point: Musk’s policy, as stated, would ban the White House press pool reports and that would be dumb — it reflects an overly broad policy. I have no other point or argument about this controversy. — PolitiTweet.org
