"When he ran for governor in 2018…Newsom promised the construction of 3.5 million housing units by 2025. Newsom won, but California has built fewer than 100,000 homes each year since." Huh? He's got 4 more years! At 100K a year he'll make it easily, no? https://t.co/dLPpjgQ3xq

Agree. Instead of quickie impeachment trial Dems are giving us. They could always convict Trump later (under their legal theory) once the investigation told us as much as we could find out. https://t.co/QYfWWJwHY6

Is vaccine distribution under Biden going badly? Seems like it is going reasonably well–1.53 million doses per day. https://t.co/yPeMU1jOQi Could always be better. But more like a + than a – at this point. https://t.co/wV7oMi0McE

In 1974 I went and saw a singer named Bruce Springsteen at a neighborhood burger joint. Wrote a rave review for my paper. The rest is history! Local critic Jon Landau wrote a condescending, mixed review. He's now Springsteen's manager. How does that happen, I ask you?

Disagree strongly. @charlesmurray 's Losing Ground & his subsequent defense made clear he focused on latter-what you call "income effect" & he called "enabling."

This jibes with W.
