@RBReich It is clear you have a fixation with Trump, even now two years after he left office. Democrats need to run on some platform. Running against Trump is not adequate.

@democracynow @KenRoth @Kennedy_School When you criticize the only democracy in the Middle East more than everyone else combined and ignore some very blatant human rights violations, what should someone think of you?

@JoeSquawk The Left refuses to recognize any tradeoff between unemployment and inflation. That's why they oppose any policy that might increase unemployment, no matter how high inflation. They want declining unemployment. I don't think they've offered any program for how to reduce inflation

@TheStalwart @markets For a soft landing, job growth < labor force growth. If labor force growth <75,000 but > 50,000 and that is like driving at 60 MPH, the economy has slowed from >400 MPH to a mere 180 MPH. We still have a long way to go for a soft landing. That talk is still premature.

@SteveMatthews12 @conorsen The CGI in just incredible. You simply enter their world.

@RBReich The kings & queens of England had no central heating and used outhouses centuries ago. Alexander the Great died of an infection before antibiotics. People in Philadelphia slept in the parks in the summer b/c their homes were unbearably hot. The poor of today live better.

@RBReich Why do you lie so blatantly? Living standards have never been higher for all income groups. Company profits (not just banks) enables them to hire. You hate Bezos b/c he's wealthy, but Amazon employs >150,000 people! Your policies would bankrupt companies, lose jobs. U r a menace.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@SteveMatthews12 A key missed by almost all is that job growth MUST slow b/c the pool of unemployed has been severely depleted. Hiring becomes harder as the reduced set of unemployed must match up skill wise, location, experience, etc with openings. U can't go to zero and hiring must < LF growth.

@csmoran9 @JeffKassouf The players are entitled to have lots of influence, even choices. If it's a bad decision, it is on them. Best females => US. Best males => Europe. The rest of your arguments are noise.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@csmoran9 @JeffKassouf That's a (stupid) argument I would expect to be made by a foreign coach. Any top notch talent should go where the competition is strong and the coaching is really good. If that's Europe, fine. But it is clearly outstanding in the NWSL. If it were equal, home team advantage

@AlexiLalas This spiraled out of control when 1) Gio's family spoke to the USMNT leadership 2) after GB revealed (privately he thought) that 1 player behaved improperly and the top blew off when 3) Gio's mother brought up GB's kick 31 years ago. Mostly the Reyna family's errors.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@TheStalwart You're wrong. Somewhere in the Constitution there's a requirement that the U.S. government MUST run a deficit. It is just evil intent that the budget should be balanced. MMT tells us it is OK to spend like drunken sailors even if we don't have the money.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@RBReich You don't approve of shareholders. It is also clear you despise capitalism and free enterprise. Who do you think paid for the planes SW bought over the years, creating many union jobs you love? You would bite the hand that feeds you. It is impossible to be more short-sighted

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@NewsfromScience I think somewhat inaccurate. Mary Anning discovered many Ichthyosaur fossils on the Dorset Coast in the 19th C and you can see them to this day in a spectacular room in the British Museum. She also found Pliosaurs and Plesiosaurs, also on display in the same room.

@NightofSaturn @sciam The underlying logic of tying that check to work strikes me a smart policy. But I'm sure advocates would be dissatisfied, since the people who need that check most would be least likely to get it.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

@ChrisO_wiki That would be stupid. Either that spending makes sense or it doesn't. I think it does. But trading defense spending for the Speaker's job is not good policy. In my judgment, it is a perversion of politics.

[Charles Lieberman @ACMChuck]

A strong jobs report. Wages slowed, but could be b/c of the changing mix. (The ECI report will be important.) The unemployment rate of 3.5% is not going to slow wage inflation. And we still have strong job growth. No respite for the Fed.
