Eliminating formal college degree requirements from government jobs seems like a good idea. https://t.co/dOtqcn522V — PolitiTweet.org

I've been a vocal supporter of DC's traffic cameras in the past, but today in the mail comes a ticket for *me* because *I* was speeding and I now think the cameras are bad. — PolitiTweet.org

These guys are basically correct, but I don’t like the exact way they framed their point or the larger symbolism of conceding that they are right so I’m going to harp at length on that rather than emphasizing the important point of agreement. (1/127) — PolitiTweet.org

Some sources of uncertainty: — What happens with food/energy commodities? — How does whatever happens there feed into core prices? — How does it feed into expectations? — How much can the prime-age labor force expand? — How reliable is job opening data as an indicator? — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond this particular issue, with a full employment economy (huge achievement!) we need to look for ways to push the production possibility frontier out, not just ways to reallocate things from one sector to another. Immigration is one thing that does that. — PolitiTweet.org

I admit to being less well-versed in this area than Haspel is, but I don't really understand his criticism. My view is there are a bunch of people who would, if allowed, voluntarily migrate to the United States to work in child care. Is that wrong? https://t.co/w96qMwJSO5 — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidOAtkins Gotcha. My single-minded focus right now is that you made a specific factual claim that I believe is false. Happy to discuss some other related topic at some other time, but right now I've got to run and I wish you would correct. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidOAtkins I know you wrote a long thread that contains a lot of words and I'm sure that some of them are smart, but I honestly can't engage on any level with any of it because I'm just hung up on that one sentence about CW which is false. I'm a very petty and literal person in that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Since "popularism" is just two people, one of whom is me I wish people would just ask me about this stuff instead of making things up. Of course ending Roe generated backlash — it was an unusual case of the out party making a large unpopular policy change. — PolitiTweet.org
