Biden’s team seems to have successfully provoked at least two credulous pieces on how brilliant his process innovations are, without much evidence they’ve made any difference at all. There’s the @WashingtonPost’s Tiger Team ode https://t.co/MQBsmv8s1Y and this. Embarrassing! https://t.co/hKvlcGkwtf

TIGER TEAMS! Almost unreadably unskeptical and PRish. Is this because a) they’re sucking up to potential sources or b) they’ve found out so little about Biden WH they’ll settle for anything? https://t.co/nL6oNMuQXx

I’m thinking this biased clankiness might be an independent contributor to income inequality — in addition to the standard tectonic factors (e.g. trade, immmigration, technology leading to greater demand for skills/education).

On other hand, the economy often adjusts in ways that are not very fluid or instantaneous–eg prices are sticky downwards, etc. The mechanisms (eg Fed cracking down) just seem differentially sticky and clanky in an inegalitarian fashion –not so quick or effective at the top.

Then usually we overdo the stopping-ordinary-wage-increases part (eg by braking too much, or letting in too much foreign labor). But the part where incomes at the top get chopped doesn’t seem to work as well. I’m sure this complaint is very crude and unsophisticated.
