Note this story dovetails with Ruth S. Barrett's excellent @Atlantic piece on how athletics have become the last route to college for non-donor/non-POCs: "When colleges looked at my record, they didn’t see the fastest girl in Connecticut. They saw a second- or third-place runner"

Not sure about this. I live in W. LA, surrounded by "affluent/powerfu/connected hip." They're privately v-worried about rising crime! It affects daily life-nobody's that insulated, esp. after let guard down in lo-crime years. From my vantage point they seem like our best hope…. https://t.co/QInJsmdTVR

Last point may be illustrated here: Absence of pols championing anti-crime issue. All pols doubling down on "reimagining policing" + a mayor making modest shift to restore cuts in police budget. You'd think there'd be some Jarvis figure on anti-crime side: https://t.co/b0NK1RUMX7

Had to do with reports of rising crime & entropy throughout West Side of city, including directly affecting friends. Also had to do with our woke DA. Not due to fear stoked by politics-shocking thing seems more how *few* pols with media presence have been jumping on crime issue.

I dunno. I was eating in Venice last night. Thought of walking 10 blocks to the main shopping street, thru a former gang area. 3 years ago, would've been a no-brainer: nice night for a walk. Now: decided no. It wasn't because of "fear triggered by 9/11"! https://t.co/zPnHrDWelA

You think the filibuster goes down over the 1/6 commission or debt limit? Deeply skeptical. For one, GOP senators would rather voter for 1/6 commission & raise debt limit than end filibuster, if it came to that, no? https://t.co/rD4cAOCjHc

Good column. But it's bizarre that someone with @DLeonhardt's highly plausible, traditional supply-and-demand view of the labor market (supply falls, wages rise, and v-v) doesn't mention the wage-reducing role of immigration (ie. expanded labor supply)… https://t.co/vnoHCJ9RTw
