Apartment List vs BLS rent data tell very different stories about price trends — the private sector data says inflation is a lot higher but already falling. https://t.co/FegHW0ydjw https://t.co/SdTF5VBuUU — PolitiTweet.org

@karlbykarlsmith @chrislhayes @davidshor It does make me think that we don't talk enough about actual the 2000 campaign, as opposed to the contested result and the post-campaign. It clearly defines our current era on some fairly profound level. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes @davidshor I remember quite clearly how the red state / blue state stereotype paradigm emerged incredibly suddenly in the wake of the 2000 election. — PolitiTweet.org

@AliceFromQueens @olivertraldi That seems right to me — he is well-liked and a good writer. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be awfully nice to see someone with as clear and insightful a vision as @surajpatelnyc make it to congress. https://t.co/5h3WRX2BoD — PolitiTweet.org

The hypothesis that crime causes lack of economic opportunity (as this paper indicates) is under-explored relative to the reverse. — PolitiTweet.org

A swim meet is inherently a zero-sum competition, so you can’t resolve the conflict over where to draw the line with recourse to normal ideas about how cooperation and inclusion will make us all better off. After all if that applied we wouldn’t gender-segregate at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

You have an inherently exclusionary enterprise in which the top competitors necessarily have “unfair” advantages relative to normal people. Lines about eligibility need to be defined, and there is bound to be some arbitrariness to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

One reason this keeps going off the rails is that while both “fairness” and “inclusiveness” are good values, neither are particularly applicable to high-level competitive sports. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems reasonably common to me for useful information to come to light as a result of people pursuing various grudges and forms of self-interest rather than pure disinterested inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Scrolling back to find the past week’s worth of Discourse about this, one common view seems to be that the criticisms are “bad faith.” But why does that matter? What @PhilWMagness is either true or it isn’t, the conduct alleged is either okay or it isn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

In a healthy labor market it’s inherently difficult to recruit people to do seasonal jobs, we used to have a shared understanding that immigration is a useful solution for that kind of role. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasoncrawford @DKThomp @chr1sa But also I think what's declined is the "middle tail" (mainstream Hollywood films that aren't part of a huge franchise) not the *long* tail (easier than ever to go stream an obscure Japanese movie). — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to explain to @milansingh03 that the rise in youth smoking despite the greater risk relative to vapes is that smoking cigarettes make you cool. This is the kind of mentorship the mainstream media no longer delivers to young journalists. — PolitiTweet.org
