The default image is someone who sits squarely in the middle of the polarized discourse and is just waiting for one candidate to say the magic words that dispel their doubts. But there’s very little evidence that this is how undecideds function or even who they are.

@alex agreed! I've just taken to a default replacement of "the" with "a" in front of problem when discussing anything tech related...

I think the growing size of American cars is a pretty good metaphor for lots of other issues: everyone can maximize their own freedom and convenience, but often at the expense of others.

[Robert Metcalfe @RDMetcalfe]

Incredibly excited to be releasing this working paper today with colleagues Bob Hahn, @nhendren82, and @bsprungkeyser.

We built that regulatory model a century ago so that we could electrify the country. And it worked. But you can't explain US grid deployment by assuming normal market impulses. It's an abnormal market by design. https://t.co/SvWDbKfns2

@evale72 @American_Bridge @rafi_kohan No coincidence that publication day for "Trash Talk" is the same as @ryangrim's "The Squad".

[Seth Wickersham @SethWickersham]

Happy Pub Day, @rafikohan. These blurbs are the greatest ever.

[PublicAffairs @public_affairs]

Talking smack is as old as the Bible. It's perhaps the original sport. TRASH TALK by @rafi_kohan is a lively and hilarious look at the art and science of disrespecting your rivals. Watch the video and learn more at https://t.co/sEqUftTtxr
