I think at least one (1) conservative who pretended to be outraged by Hillary's email practices should at least feign some concern about this too.
"I support Trump, but this was an error in judgment and..."
Something like that.

A big energy-using region like Europe with few local energy sources should be rolling out renewables and new nuclear power at a breakneck speed.
Instead, Europe has rolled out renewables at.... exactly the pace of energy-rich America. https://t.co/v15OPYUGIo

I’m going to back a few days in Discourse Time, and say something I think has been missed the Joe Rogan/Covid mess (I realize there are now other messes).
Once you’re here, all the answers are bad. They’re all bad because they all harm the thing you’re trying to protect: Trust.

Adams says food is like a drug and claims people would not be able to tell the difference between “someone hooked on heroin” and “someone hooked on cheese.”
He also acknowledges he does “not have great self-discipline” when it comes to food. https://t.co/wCTwKFlemt

I appreciate the response! And my response here is: If you write a story about a theory, you have a responsibility to grapple with the substance of the theory.
Imagine writing a puff piece about Alex Berenson and his bold struggle to convince the world that vaccines don't work.

@Noahpinion This was not a literature review on what macro thinks of MMT. It was a feature story about how MMT is grappling (or not grappling) with the fact that inflation has proven incredibly hard to predict, when so much of its argument relies on predicting inflation.

The fundamental problem here is the New York Times' evolution from the stodgy paper of record into a juicy collection of great narratives.

Was in the neighborhood yesterday so I finally got to check out the only block of row houses in LA. These got banned in the 1930s when LA passed an ordinance mandating that all new homes have lawns. (NB not my picture.)

The Biden Administration should have let the solar tariffs expire entirely to help achieve its climate goals. My new blog post:

Today, the Biden administration announced the removal of Trump's steel tariffs for a specific volume of Japanese exports. It's very similar to the deal struck with the EU in October.
