I’ve never been, but Tokyo is the city where the most people live and therefore it’s the most livable city. — PolitiTweet.org

Are there major criticisms of Pelegrino & Zingales on the Italian economy that I should read before deciding they are right? https://t.co/p8XZyqIBDd https://t.co/8X97BSid7a — PolitiTweet.org

@JoacoGimeno The US is an example of a country where the main passenger operator mostly doesn’t own the tracks. I would suggest everyone copy Japan in this area. — PolitiTweet.org

@dgravanita It would be a weak argument if it depended on only citing the unfavorable cases — I think the successes in Italy were driven by private ownership rather than competition. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a roughly parallel issue in the US where some people want to treat freight railroads as monopolies rather than recognizing the basic reality that they compete with trucks. — PolitiTweet.org

The market is “getting from Rome to Milan” not “getting from Rome to Milan on a train.” Europe should be pushing more cross-border consolidation of vertically integrated railroads, not separating infrastructure from ops and pushing open access. — PolitiTweet.org

The EU’s push to get passenger train companies to compete directly with each other rather than competing with airlines, private cars, and buses seems really misguided. — PolitiTweet.org

@HareDurer @lionel_trolling I agree that banh mi at Oberlin is not a significant issue. If you’re curious which issues I do think are significant, I’d suggest reading some things I’ve written. If you don’t care to read what I’ve written that’s fair enough but then don’t assume you know what I’ve said. — PolitiTweet.org

Visiting frequently visited cities generates a lot of stress that you are “visiting wrong,” which I think in turn leads people to the (incorrect) conclusion that the places themselves are overrated. — PolitiTweet.org

I think that letting Ron DeSantis have his national reputation be that he’s the anti-mask guy while he makes all kinds of secret promises to billionaire donors is dangerous and irresponsible and the country is owed some account of his thinking on major policy issues. — PolitiTweet.org

To me this is a crazy bet — there are lots of successful variations on the theme of welfare state capitalism while the odds on “roll the dice and hope you end up with Singapore instead of North Korea” look awfully bad. — PolitiTweet.org

The Thiel concept is that this settlement is unacceptable, and you need to wield populism as a mask with which to destroy democracy — and then it can be discarded in pursuit of a capitalism unbound by democratic regulation. — PolitiTweet.org

There has always been a tension between liberalism and democracy, which sensible liberals have reacted to with things like the welfare state to create a democratically viable form of market economy. And societies ordered that way have driven incredible progress and prosperity. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great piece from @lionel_trolling — I hope the provocation of the f-word doesn’t entirely consume the discourse around it. The anti-democratic (and not just anti-liberal) character of this strain of the “populist” project is critical and often lost. — PolitiTweet.org

“[Thiel]’s just realized, more clearly than his opponents often, that there’s ultimately a contradiction between the rule of capital and democracy, and the way to deal with this contradiction, as far as he’s concerned, is to do away with democracy.” https://t.co/kHBrZTLmG5 — PolitiTweet.org

So is the upshot of this that the NIH’s entire approach to funding Alzheimer’s research has been based on fraud? That seems bad and perhaps illustrates why it would be good to diversify science funding streams. https://t.co/gXgH10pre7 — PolitiTweet.org
