Now Here Not There

Economics, Politics, Legal History & Science. ‘Solid liberal’ in US, wide spectrum centrist in Germany. Impeach Trump as of January 2017. ‘Pro-tax Neoliberal.’

Still very awful.

Where did all the German money go? Our new study Exportweltmeiser (with Franziska Hünnekes and Christoph Trebesch) is out. We calculate returns on German capital exports since 1950

@southerncenter @latinojustice Some sample questions:
"What company is the largest employer in Mayaguez?"
"Where is the Caguas Beach?" (trick question: it's an inland city)
"The principle baseball stadium in San Juan is named after...?"

Breaking: the Georgia Dept of Driver's Services is violating the Constitution in its treatment of Puerto Ricans. They require Puerto Ricans to undergo extra driver testing & force PR-born applicants to answer trick q's about PR. @southerncenter and @latinojustice are suing.

@AlanMCole But that’s history...the US was clearly #1 until sometime in the 60s. After that it wasn’t and immigration flows reflect that. Things changed and you need to keep up. https://t.co/lsfjBtqci5

@PaulHRosenberg Who is has good a good discussion of ecofascism? It’s one of my main concerns, but I’ve not seen that much good analysis of it.

@MattGrossmann I love the American Political Development literature.

Sorry, ‘rant.’

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

A nice rank about how mocking experts ended in this one case. https://t.co/xqlWOC8Or2

@billresh @annehelen Yes.

@GralaFan @simongerman600 Maine once was pretty close to 100%.

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

@simongerman600 @littlewisehen Surprised by high forest coverage in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico(Not that I’ve even been there).

@andrewflood Ah, I see mainstream reporting about Nordkreuz and the SEK weapons. But none connecting them to the Lubcke murder. Yes, the right radical connection military and police paramilitary has been an ongoing concern, especially since the discovery of the NSU. Often not clearly stated.

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

@andrewflood I see the MAZ article. But I see nothing at all in the big mainstream papers, having just checked Spiegel, FAZ and SZ. Why?? Legal concerns? No sources working for them??

@MyoclonicJerk42 @BruceBartlett Regular size is ‘little cheeseburger’. I never order anything larger. Love their food though.

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

@RadioFreeTom @joshtpm @CharlesPPierce Womanizing is a left wing thing?? Where have you been living? Lots of left culture GOP politicians in that case.

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

I usually downplay reports about left censorship & cultural puritanism, but this seems like a very blinkered case of regrettable iconoclasm. Very sad.

@ARealBuffalo @dimmerwahr The addition of ‘German Nation’ is a 15th century addition to emphasize German dominance in the HRR.

[Now Here Not There @nowherenorthere]

@ARealBuffalo @dimmerwahr Well there is the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, for Germany.
