If Congress ever passes a law to ban fracking, I think Texas & South Dakota might decide the 10th Amendment lets them secede on that issue too. https://t.co/tkvSqYSU7P

"We can't have any protectionism because we've got these sprawling global supply chains."–CW. But the new Adidas factory-of-the-future eliminates those chains & centralizes all production in one place. https://t.co/Q0kTmrJnpe Why not have U.S. be that place?

One virtue of being a … how to say it … egomaniac is that you don't in fact melt down when the staff turns over and everyone is yelling "chaos" and "madness" and "crisis" to the press, because you know only you matter … https://t.co/PCAvyHPVpQ

Westside Pavilion is demising? Never thought I'd see the day. YIMBY. Dark era of urban design draws to close. Awful place. Windowless. Arrogant. Also ugly. What was there before was much better & what comes next can't be worse. I didn't like it much. https://t.co/Ze1cOFxQXB

If wages had been growing steadily & smartly across the board, including for unskilled, but demographic shift were the same (majority minority), would Trump have happened? Answer seems obvious (no). https://t.co/wNL1ZUjrOs

If there's a "dominance bonus" that no group's enjoying, wouldn't this be the rare situation in which group competition *isn't* zero sum? Groups can cooperate to seize the "dominance" prize–eg Coalition of the Ascendant cooperates to dominate the has-beens. https://t.co/TxO9NKCEmn

Author of this tweet identifies as a "lefty." Near-museum quality example of Trump/left overlap, no? If Trump wants to survive mid-terms, maybe figure out a way to revive bond with some of these people (vs. relying on magnetic appeal of Ryanism/tax cuts) https://t.co/CRF5JKYthg
