I think in general we underreact to near misses — consider the failed WTC bombing vs 9/11. — PolitiTweet.org

The original lab leak anti-consensus was based on pretending Tom Cotton said that China had deliberately released a biological weapon, debunking this thing he didn’t say, and then pivoting to zoonosis. https://t.co/lRjzfxHxHY — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin It’s a great time to be a middle-aged white indie rock guy who feels vaguely ashamed about his lack of hip-hop knowledge or appreciation. — PolitiTweet.org

At its core the point of the “new” populist Republican Party is to install business-friendly judges and regulators while cutting taxes for people who stand to inherit large fortunes. — PolitiTweet.org

If you understand why this is wrong, you can also see why wealth-building through housing scarcity doesn't work as a national strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone cheering for declining car prices: Your own car's value is declining as well. Just a reminder. :)

@StevenSkelton1 I agree with you. That tweet was heavily (and deservedly) criticized so I reconsidered my view and withdrew it of my own volition. — PolitiTweet.org

@DouthatNYT It's mostly the experience of Australia, arguably the most culturally similar country on earth, that's made me think things mostly pivoted around Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

I think we're living through a high-contingency era in which a handful of bold (or reckless!) decision-makers are meaningfully altering the trajectory of human events — with the power of individual agency ironically amplified by the fact that it's prestigious to be structuralist. — PolitiTweet.org

Pfizer issues an "October surprise" release touting vaccine results a week before Election Day; Trump promises lockdowns will end soon. Dems cry foul and the rollout is hampered by widespread liberal belief that re-elected Trump is pressing unsafe vaccines on the public. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In a nearby world: Lab leak theory was accepted early, Trump was an enthusiastic lockdown proponent to own the PRC, leftists complained he was sacrificing youth to save the elderly, and Covid was the reason for a sharp crackdown on the Floyd protests. https://t.co/mRiaSKdRKF — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Once again the biggest questions about Musk, Twitter, and free speech have to do with the tendency of the PRC to use leverage over companies like Tesla to export their speech controls. https://t.co/MWfqrO6KH9 — PolitiTweet.org

I think we are having too little explicit discussion of the normative issues and policy choices that may come, in favor of semi-fake forecasting efforts. Right now you clearly want inflation to "go lower" but if that starts happening, the path becomes less clear. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Say it's a year from now and we're enjoying a softish landing — no recession and inflation is lower but it's still higher than at any point in the 30 years pre-pandemic. Do we say "good enough" or demand the Fed keep squeezing? https://t.co/6sQg83KNCt — PolitiTweet.org

@richardmskinner This is a portrait of a very different time. https://t.co/tDOmHPXePA — PolitiTweet.org

@DeanBaker13 Well, if you didn't understand my suggestion would be to try re-reading in a more generous frame of mind or else just kind of move on and ignore. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@richardmskinner Yeah, I don't think the politics of that era had the same alignment. More right-wing artists (and academics and elite college students) but also the left was way more authoritarian (internment, etc) — PolitiTweet.org

Zoning reform + easier permitting = more demand for "boring" capital and higher interest rates consistent with full employment. That means lower multiples for stockowners. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Fed rate hikes weaken the labor market but also hammer the asset prices of the very rich. One of my pet theories is broad land use reform would, by raising equilibrium interest rates, secure the egalitarian benefit without the labor market cost. https://t.co/WYs0UNdJPH — PolitiTweet.org

We're now left with a situation where a lot of people treat the Biden administration's official position as either an absurd right-wing conspiracy theory or else a forbidden truth the libs are suppressing. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think it's weird that the arc where the Biden administration ordered a lab leak investigation & the intel agencies concluded it's plausible but impossible to say for sure one way or another without unrealistic levels of PRC cooperation had so little Discourse Impact. https://t.co/yz6qDWh6j7 — PolitiTweet.org
