@jsnider31 @PoliticsObserv7 @SenhorRaposa Republicans did vote for her, the problem was it wasn't nearly enough to win a state as red as Kansas in a presidential year against a not-Kobach opponent, she was still too focused on liberal donors for Kansas. A candidate of Bollier's quality in North Carolina would have won.

@conorsen Try going there in December - place is PACKED, people all around you.

@LI_Weather516 @reinhardt_scott @mike61400 The average American pays zero attention to what people are doing in China. Status quo bias explains it all

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@LI_Weather516 @reinhardt_scott @mike61400 Because that wasn't considered as an option before, status quo bias. Anyways people should be free to mask or not mask as they wish, it's just an accessory clothing item like any other after vaccination.

@RybotCalbearo @mattyglesias When zoning and other land use regulations are written in such a way that bans dense development or makes it extremely expensive (ensuring only luxury units get built), sprawl is inevitable.

@cameronrob1 @AlecStapp @pl_vezina That's the point, immigration is crucial to prevent that from happening.

@TannerVanParys @mauRICEfrediere @davidshor @jacobfhsmith @TJRyan02 @mattyglesias 5 years. That means you've never worked through a midterm with a Democratic president, and the historical trends are very clear on what is likely to happen.

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@mullymt @mattyglesias @jiminyjobbers55 Are you guilty, or do you just recognize that restricting immigration also decreases labor demand, thus it doesn't raise wages and we have no reason to restrict it?

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@mattyglesias There's a crucial difference here: unemployment insurance doesn't meaningfully affect demand to the level that immigration does. Restricting immigration would decrease aggregate demand and the result would be stagnant wages. But UI doesn't really decrease aggregate demand.

@jeffmcnamee @MommaBear115 @mattyglesias For what it's worth, teenage employment has completely recovered vs. pre pandemic, for a few months now.

@michael_epps @mattyglesias First tell us what you think critical race theory is?

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@ChristinaToms @conorsen He's referring to the labor market impact, if anything all of these factors would increase the likelihood of teens working as the costs of leisure time are lower

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@GarettJones How about a land value tax? That would be economically efficient and of course, land can't move to a different country.

@Zawul3 @HeikoPierre @Versace_Prince There will most likely be commercial uses added within walkable distance in time, step 1 is creating the density necessary to support that and public transit.

@LightskinnedAv1 @wb_thorne It's sarcasm, going *against* that view as it is frequently applied to trains.

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@statusquarrior @wb_thorne Who said trains were supposed to be profitable? Yet politicians incessantly complain about it.

[Blizzard '13 @bostbliz]

@vividvoid @philritz1 @wb_thorne Yes because as we all know landscapers and roofers don't exist in the Netherlands. What a shame, they should have forced everyone to own a car.

@ProLifeAll @zeynep @dandrezner Both of those have opportunities for prolonged close contact, unlike a trip to the beach with your family.

@ibrake4ants @zeynep India most likely has a higher infection peak than the US ever had. Like a 23% positive test rate. Massive undercount of cases.
