Which is to say let’s not be Pollyannas about contemporary American social trends but let’s also not misidentify what the problems are! — PolitiTweet.org

I think you can make a strong case that things have gotten worse in terms of fewer social ties and close friendships, a lower marriage rate and fewer children. But if you’re asking about material abundance what do we have less of? — PolitiTweet.org

Arguing about price indexes and hedonic adjustments gets confusing so it’s worth asking about quantities consumed — compared to 30 years ago, we have bigger homes and more cars + lots more home electronics. We dine out more, fly more, and get more years of education. — PolitiTweet.org

There was a point in the mid-2010s when you could tell a super-pessimistic story about how CPI-adjusted household income was still below its 1999 level but from today’s vantage point the last 20 years look pretty good. https://t.co/TlcWGj6Ck5 — PolitiTweet.org

Since 1990, the price of housing has (on average — you don’t need to tell me some cities are more expensive) risen in line with median income and cars have gotten dramatically cheaper. College is way more expensive but the share of people going has gone up. https://t.co/FmzcegAwZm — PolitiTweet.org

I guess to offer a hot (?) take I would say that being really really good-looking is a bona fide occupational qualification for celebrity work and it’s not per se “nepotism” that the daughter of Lenny Kravitz & Lisa Bonet is a beautiful, charismatic movie star. — PolitiTweet.org

A guy named Jared Birchall is CEO of Neuralink. Musk is CEO of SpaceX but Gwynne Shotwell is President and Chief Operating Officer. “Designate someone to be in charge” is a banal management thing. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s easy to mistake the stakes of “should Musk step down as Twitter CEO” — the guy owns multiple companies and just as a boring practical matter should hire someone like-minded to have their full-time job be running twitter. — PolitiTweet.org
