Good thread. That said the big problem remains that Musk overpaid for the stock — doesn’t mean the company will fail but it’s hard for the investment to succeed when that’s how you start. — PolitiTweet.org

There has never been a better time to be alone in your living room thanks to incredible improvements in the quality of home entertainment options — I’m just skeptical than on net people spending more time at home in their living room is good. https://t.co/sr72YzC2bd — PolitiTweet.org

This is *the* quintessential cranky middle-aged guy complaint — so much so that I don’t trust myself — but it does seem like the past decade of technological advance has encouraged behaviors that are making people worse off. — PolitiTweet.org

My hope is that if DeSantis runs we can have more of a national conversation about RDS’ actual views on actual questions of federal policy and not just what he thinks about school libraries or whatever. https://t.co/eRjmnYzqD9 — PolitiTweet.org

I completely respect that there are some Medicaid-hating Republicans out there who were just so repulsed by Trump that they backed Biden instead and now are excited to hop on the DeSantis Express and snatch away poor people’s health insurance. But I’m just built different. — PolitiTweet.org

After the 2018 midterms, DeSantis became governor of Florida where he maintained the state’s posture as one of the largest holdouts against Medicaid expansion — hence one of the largest uninsured populations in America. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
When Ron DeSantis was in congress, he voted for a bill that would (among other things) pay for a regressive tax cut by enacting deep cuts in Medicaid — Donald Trump pushed aggressively in favor of this bill but fortunately for America it died in the senate. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
There’s going to be an endless series of complaints like this “how dare you say DeSantis is bad after having earlier complained that Trump is bad in some different ways?” To me one key thing is they have the same (bad) view on Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

A really aggravating DC crime problem is all our courts are federal courts with senate-confirmed judges but it’s hard to get this business on the senate floor so our court system is overworked and understaffed. https://t.co/Q8O1JmekTi — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisPolPsych It’s definitely true that most people (including progressive professors!) care more about issues that impact them directly … not sure why you’d level this specifically as a critique of centrist political pundits rather than as a general fact of human life. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It’s not like “a college that teachers large numbers of Black and Hispanic students from working class backgrounds” is some outlandish idea — there are lots of them — if you want to serve that mission, give those institutions resources. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Well-endowed highly exclusionary universities asking job candidates to submit DEI statements rather than transferring material resources to the educational institutions that serve large underprivileged populations is pretty comical. — PolitiTweet.org

True, but higher interest rates make this swing for the fences investment strategy structurally less appealing rather than trying to get an okay return based on something sensible and boring. https://t.co/VSUCWznZo4 — PolitiTweet.org

The other upside to moving to Ireland is that I think the time zone would be good — could start working at 3AM eastern time and have a crackling hot take on the news in your inbox by 9 eastern. https://t.co/iNogjL06S0 https://t.co/wCbEgnTvih — PolitiTweet.org

Politics that refocuses on fiscal issues (should be the deficit be bigger or small, should it be shrunk entirely with spending cuts or should taxes be raised, etc) will be much healthier for the country but bad for a lot of people’s business models so it will be resisted. — PolitiTweet.org

In American politics, the most important quality in a president is "don't make crazy foreign policy mistakes" because that's where there's minimal constraints and the most scope for catastrophe. But dictators can mess up on a wider range of topics. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Surely part of the reason is just that when you concentrate a lot of power in one guy, it's a recipe for "high-variance" outcomes where he may just have weird ideas and relatively few constraints. — PolitiTweet.org

Most people just don’t comment a lot on public affairs, but the overwhelming majority of American Twitter users are going to have a kind word for the courage of Chinese protestors. Will be interesting to see if the platform owner joins us. https://t.co/MWfqrNPHF9 — PolitiTweet.org
