@EricLevitz Yes, but the environmental burdens are borne by everyone, no? There's a contradiction in vigorously passing and enforcing domestic environmental laws only to outsource production to countries that aren't burdened by those laws.
@JHWeissmann@jeffhauser Fair on Taiwan and Bulgaria, but I do think the inflation thesis would aided by addressing elections in 2023. Isn't it a fair point that they shouldn't be ignored?
@IDoTheThinking Right. The first part of the quote is wrong. Biden admin had very clear and impactful leg wins, probably more so than any admin in recent history. Some of those wins were *specifically targeted* at the portion of the electorate that they lost in 2020. It just didn't matter.
@DrewSav You don't think the demographics of mail vs. in-person played a role? In the Baltimore City race Scott lost early mail but also dominated in-person. There wasn't a late shift in that race -- I assumed it was because in-person skewed younger than early mail?
@MattZeitlin When I found out the fire insurance industry is a big supporter of smoke detecters I threw all mine out, because it proved they were a scam.
@dieworkwear Early retirement forums certainly went this way. Used to be ordered around a group of hardcore, anti-consumer obsessives who re-used their paper towels and saved 70% of their income. It's now a more generalized self-help world that's far more boring.
@Noahpinion If you want to argue that folks overlook that the US trend line per capita is great and China's is most definitely not . . . . that makes some sense. But the whole *people are ignoring China!* framing doesn't make sense.
@Noahpinion Is there really a significant group of people out there who are entirely ignoring China's emissions? People point out that their per capita is lower than the US, but I don't people pretending China's emissions just don't exist. Not sure who you're arguing with.
@conor64 @cobra0483 @rasmansa@JeffreyASachs “This dance groups core beliefs are wrong-headed and harmful”
“They don’t actually believe that, you fell for a white supremacist trick”
Ok, but tell me, how was I wrong?”
@conor64@GarrettBroad @manolistrecker The specific “notion” that you were attacking does not in fact exist; you were hoodwinked into reiterating the views of a bigot. So in terms of what was wrong — everything?
