Columbus Day was never about Christopher Columbus. https://t.co/ONDHYEBsDy — PolitiTweet.org

@dcoxpolls @BradWilcoxIFS How can we think about the directions of causation here? Doesn’t it seem plausible that happier people (whether caused by marriage or whatever else) would be more conservative while the unhappy are attracted to ideologies that demand sweeping social change? — PolitiTweet.org

It’s very hard to persuade some people on here that in addition to position-taking on various lifestyle topics, one aspect of politics involves setting tax and spending policies that shift hundreds of billions of dollars around and make a big difference in people’s lives. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timcast Gotcha. I guess to me I would draw a distinction between longstanding conservative priorities (stricter rules on abortion, laxer rules on guns, tax cuts) and newer ones (girls sports) and it’s funny to see one of the new ones described as “bread and butter.” — PolitiTweet.org

@rehundt Well I don’t think they are going to get to 100% heat pumps in the next six weeks — need a policy for this winter. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timcast And I don’t think they are dismantling the one Trump built. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timcast Change is good! But the Klan was way before my time so it’s not funny in the way that the girls sports pivot of the past 10-15 years is. — PolitiTweet.org

These two Bernanke essays are tremendous though and set the template for what I think has despite its problems been a pretty successful macroeconomic response to a terribly mishandled public health situation. https://t.co/9QUo8l8kEq — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t think I understand the Diamond-Dybvig Model beyond the informal explanation given in “It’s a Wonderful Life” and I’m glad I don’t currently have the kind of job where I’d be incentivized to fake it but Dybvig’s beard is tremendous. — PolitiTweet.org

I always felt that Fed Chair Ben Bernanke didn’t quite live up to the standard set by Scholar Ben Bernanke (especially on self-induced paralysis), fitting for him to win a Nobel just when the 2022 inflation experience lends some validation to his more cautious moments. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
You become an old person like me and can’t help but find it funny (but also sad) that culture war pachinko has landed on “protecting girls’ sports” as a “bread-and-butter conservative” remembering that when you were young conservatives wanted to defund Title IX girls sports. https://t.co/GHRyHGbKro — PolitiTweet.org

I should write a post about this but I’m going to have to have to study my metric conversion tables for a while because “air temperature in the fifties” is an important concept in this context. 😂😂😂 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Really think Europe should be doing explicit rationing + price controls for home heat rather than fiscal subsidies — the thing about heat is there’s a very wide delta between “you might die” and “this is a comfortable temperature.” — PolitiTweet.org

True disaster comes next month when we have Election Day, Veterans Day, and the Day Before Election Day all off in one week right before Thanksgiving. — PolitiTweet.org

And of course the 20th century Italian-American Columbus is a bit odd. Columbus’ native Genoese dialect was closer to French than to Italian; he did all his writing in Spanish, his work for the Spanish crown. And he didn’t come to the USA. But it was a nice gesture! — PolitiTweet.org

Before the Knights of Columbus we did have Columbia as a national icon. But the Columbia character was a woman, highly abstracted away from the specifics of Christopher Columbus. https://t.co/ONDHYEBsDy https://t.co/lpJfQgFZog — PolitiTweet.org

Columbus Day originated as Gilded Age DEI initiative by reconceptualizing a Spanish conquistador as an Italian-American immigrant. https://t.co/ONDHYEjjpq https://t.co/s8F6E9nnUT — PolitiTweet.org

I like to think I’d be picking fights with James Birney Twitter about how we could’ve had Henry Clay in the White House if they weren’t such purists. https://t.co/e2UL1QqNso — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wins, promising to jump-start the economy with a “Green New Deal” featuring Medicaid expansion, a border wall, tax credits for producing zero-carbon electricity, and a massive expansion of federal funding of local police departments. — PolitiTweet.org
