Korea: Here's a movie that's just robots crushing puppies for 90 minutes
Americans: OMG it's a metaphor for capitalism isn't it
Korea: Here's a series called "Pointless Stabbing, Constant Screaming"
Americans: OMG, capitalism, again
Koreans: <raking in money> That's right

It does seem like we should be talking about legal immigration more if we're worried about labor shortages.

Backloading compensation with big pensions also depresses entry level salaries and discouraged people from giving it a try as a career.

Wow. The near-ban on new hotels across NYC is moving forward. Of all the dumb shit this city does, this one is the most surprising to me https://t.co/qY7B7ipxAy

This is just way worse and more unforgivable than anything Joe Manchin has said or done โ taxing rich people and corporations is super-popular and it's a rare thing that genuinely does deserve to be a party litmus test.

A mostly (but not entirely) rhetorical question:
Why don't they limit the mortgage interest deduction more and grab a ton of revenue that way? Republicans did it.

Do people really think Manchin could be brought around to standard progressive views on climate change if someone would credibly promise him a $500,001 annuity?
Given the amount spent on climate organizing and advocacy, seems like a no-brainer.

This is not at all a good characterization of neoclassical economics. BUT, the thread goes on to highlight some good and important trends in economics education.

I'm pretty hawkish toward China in general, and I never thought engagement would make them liberalize. But I disagree with this very strongly. China brought a billion people out of abject poverty in record time, and our engagement helped them do it. That was worth it.

Essentially all our plans for government investment and industrial policy are on hold while we wait for Manchin to gut the reconciliation bill
