Some of us immediately flashed back to the CA crisis in 2000-1, brought on in large part by market manipulation, but no evidence so far of anything like this in TX currently 3/ https://t.co/KROxzvB0sP — PolitiTweet.org

Texas has a lot of wind power, mainly because it has a lot of wind, but the power failures were mainly in fossil fuel plants 2/ https://t.co/4v5K1BlNFb — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to make sense of the Texas disaster. At least so far, it seems that there are no obvious villains — except the usual suspects on the right trying to blame renewable energy and environmentalists 1/ https://t.co/FbwuRVAXij — PolitiTweet.org

Goldman Sachs (no link) joins the campaign against nonsense output gaps, saying that there's much more slack in major economies than official estimates indicate. Obvious implications for Biden relief plan https://t.co/SmyV9oq7Nq — PolitiTweet.org

And my 2nd jab is scheduled. Praise be. Personal relief, but also an indication that NJ may be getting its act together. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Mervyn King is right 2. He's just saying what I've been saying for 11 months 3. The fact that he needs to say it shows that it's still not getting through https://t.co/1uULfmOKwg — PolitiTweet.org

Also, so much less wasted time. Getting to the studio, getting made up (for TV lights), sitting around in the green room, can easily eat up 2 hours for a 5-minute appearance. Even if you don't care about the guests' time, how many people won't go on bc it's so burdensome? — PolitiTweet.org

The next time someone tells you that the parties are the same, or worse, that the GOP represents the working class, compare the distributional impact of Trump's main economic policy and Biden's (so far) 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

The morning after. Even though we knew it was coming, still shocking that the party of Dwight Eisenhower now believes that it's OK to use violence to reverse an election defeat. Weep for America. — PolitiTweet.org

So it seems that Dems decided to wrap up so they could move ahead on Covid relief. I truly have no idea whether that was the right call. But now they damned well better deliver on relief. — PolitiTweet.org

I've never hated Trump — there isn't enough of a person there to feel hatred. I was terrified about what he and his party were doing to America. And I still am https://t.co/Fz7Ko9UuQY — PolitiTweet.org

Fun with vaccinations: I received jab 1 via the NJ system, was told to expect 2nd shot schedule within 3 days. That was more than 2 weeks ago. Don't know whether it's vaccine shortage or I fell through the cracks; every time I call the state office they say the system's down 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Since there have been some scare headlines about debt passing 100% of GDP — hey, it's 400 percent if you measure GDP per quarter, but only 20% if you use 5 years — some charts. First, historical perspective: 1/ https://t.co/CCnPajDdRw — PolitiTweet.org
