If I were a UK prime minister who wanted to spark a pro-growth investment boom, instead of deficit-financed regressive tax cuts I would make it legal to build more housing. https://t.co/s0hrIUCe2R — PolitiTweet.org

One of the interesting micro-dynamics of Fox News is that when Carlson is at odds with McConnell, McCarthy, and 70-80% of GOP members on an issue he frames this as a criticism just of Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

I always think it’s weird that people claim to have aesthetic objections to tall buildings and modern construction — it looks good! https://t.co/xh1SbVaJJH — PolitiTweet.org

The thesis of this article is that Joe Biden and Boris Johnson (?) teamed up in a conspiracy to prevent Ukraine from agreeing to foreswear NATO membership, thus forcing Russia to invade which helps Biden get revenge on Russia for helping Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

(I think the real upshot of this is that we have been underrating nuclear for past generation but we now need to live with the consequences of that) — PolitiTweet.org

So we are talking about a deal to make it easier to do transmission lines (good for renewables) in exchange for pipeline infrastructure that is *also good for renewables* given today’s circumstances. https://t.co/wbcTnK7sM1 — PolitiTweet.org

This is obviously not Putin’s intent but he is giving us a live trial of the emissions impact of a “keep it in the ground” approach to natural gas. https://t.co/m3abwQ68Hr — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

At the current state of technology, cheap gas complements renewables while expensive gas forces reliance on coal for reliability. https://t.co/KHNEpDki5p — PolitiTweet.org

There were some very significant deregulations in transportation and banking, but also a large increase not only in land use regulation but occupational licensing. Arguably more a reversion to guilds and feudal entailments than to classical liberalism. — PolitiTweet.org

It's definitely true that we should increase the number of medical residecy slots and create a clearer and more certain pathway for foreign-trained doctors to practice in the United States. More doctors would be good! — PolitiTweet.org
