1/2
This is important. Very important.

It has radically changed my world view in the past 2 months and given me optimism for the 1st time in a long time. If you're a progressive, you must learn MMT.

Good primer: https://t.co/CTg0427DUi

@JesseJenkins @robinsonmeyer Listening to the 3rd episode on my ebike ride into work and continuing to really enjoy them.
Jesse, I think we briefly met at the ARPA-E summit last year. I'm sure you're very busy, but I'd love to fill you in on what we're doing at Found Energy. Send me a DM for my work email.

@JesseJenkins @robinsonmeyer Already subscribed on pocketcasts (RIP Google podcasts). Not on bluesky yet -- 95% of my social media is filtered through the Odd Lots discord.

@JesseJenkins @robinsonmeyer @SimonMahan Interesting. Solar/wind from... Texas? (but can ERCOT export?)

[Ariel Jackson @arjcksn]

@robinsonmeyer @JesseJenkins p.s. I'm trying to get off twitter, so wondering if the pod has an email or other contact.

@robinsonmeyer @JesseJenkins (2/2) The SE already has some of the lowest e- prices, so wouldn't expanding their mkt just increase the demand for their regionally generated low cost e-, and thus drive up prices -- in the same way that exporting cheap US LNG would drive up domestic NG prices?

@JesseJenkins @NatBullard High voltage electrons are a ZIRP phenomenon.

When FDR told Republicans to go fuck themselves and then did all the good things, Dems dominated control of DC for 40 years

Todays Democrats are addicted to upholding anachronistic norms and terrified of acquiring and wielding real power for the common good beyond fits & bursts

@kairyssdal So, does it come back into existence at the outstanding value of all T-bills in 2025, or back to the current 2023 value?

The debt ceiling deal is closer to being "what Republicans would expect to get through the ordinary budget process" than many feared.

But they still profited off hostage taking. And that's a big loss for responsible government in the U.S. https://t.co/s53jwIKQxX

This Times story is a defense of Feinstein’s staff, saying she doesn’t want to resign and signs off on all documents. It somehow avoids the common-sense question of how that could be true of someone confused about basic facts, like how the Senate works or what she was sick from.

Basically, the Congressional GOP's brilliant plan to save the government is to make 50-54 year-olds who need SNAP benefits now prove that they're working (which in practice means kicking a lot of working elderly ppl off food stamps because they can't meet paperwork requirements)

@ultimatesascha @TNye99 Point D, please

@jodyavirgan I see what you mean I would definitely not describe DeSantis as "Simply the best" by any measure.

@conorsen Media, probably: Breaching the debt ceiling would precipitate a global depression, which would probably help lower inflation. So is it really that bad for Biden?

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Now that The White House has indicated

1) It will negotiate over the debt ceiling
2) It has no backup plans
3) A default would be a disaster

Is there any limit on what the House GOP should aim for here, concession-wise?
