Those who deny it’s a meritocracy seem to be focused on the hiring decison–and hiring is crucially important in a civil-service style economy where nobody gets fired. But the NFL is not that economy.

NFl coaching seems like a “true”meritocracy to me–in the sense of rewarding performance, not credentials,–because If you keep losing you get fired. One reason owners may be reluctiant to hire black coaches may be a fear that they’ll be hard to fire even if they lose, no? https://t.co/5Rhze7WsHF

How much damage can this 13% do? Anti-unvaxxed rage seems way out of proportion to the threat. Obvious take: Gives idle anti-Trumpers a cause (since Biden’s been a bit of a flop). https://t.co/LjYXHZOukk

You’re right, for adults the unvaxxed percent isn’t 15%. It’s now less than 13%, per CDC:
“For people ages 18 years or older, 87.1% have received at least one dose of vaccine and 74.2% are fully vaccinated”

This doesn’t seem like a “reset.” Or a “pivot.” It seems like full-steam ahead on letting migrants in. (You get to live & work in US while waiting for case to be heard –“almost three years” on average. Even if you then lose you’ll likely be able to stay) https://t.co/eIHgBjL1C4

Hmm. I had mild side effects (joint pain) after 2 doses. Was hesitant to take booster for fear it’d turn them into major side effects. Could this be another reason for boost hesitancy? Seems more plausible than Leonhardt’s ‘too-much-nuance’ theory https://t.co/WXDltX5qb5

Totally. That was clear in LA when Mayor Garcetti set about (futilely) spending the $1.2 billion voters approved to fight homelessness. Non-profits were staffing up for long haul with no expectations or plans for problem to get resolved. Homeless Industry is lifetime employment! https://t.co/NEh99y0yDZ
