I mean, unless the price of hydrogen falls dramatically, there’s no way the free market gets people to buy these cars instead of gas-powered cars. (I guess that’s why they have to ban gas-powered cars, which will meet with massive resistance.) https://t.co/cdyLtpd1fd

Rode in a hydrogen car (Toyota Mirai) for the first time. Owner complains it costs him $160 to fill up. ‘I don’t think this is the future.’ Too bad–it’s a nice car. Very quiet with a much better ride than, say, a battery EV like the Tesla 3.

Frum: “McCarthy helped Ukraine as much as he dared; Johnson helps Ukraine as little as he can.” OK. Then why didn’t Biden have House Dems toss McCarthy the few votes necessary to save his Speakership? Obviously Dems had other priorities than aiding Ukraine https://t.co/t8SjR25vt6 https://t.co/fmRzaUgA6c

“This suggests many in his influential circle abetted what amounted to a continuation of the sex-trafficking ring he’d begun in the 1990s. The difference in his post-jail life was that he sought out mostly Eastern European immigrants, many of them models.” https://t.co/oWT705aneh

How Dems/Ukraine blew it: Note that this wasn’t a case of backing “the wrong horse,” as Fiona Hill put it. The wrong horse (Trump) had already been elected. This was a case of permanently alienating Trump’s party in an attempt to remove him from office or do some partisan damage https://t.co/k06ROjBzbp

Only 2 or 3 point lower, presumably, if you exclude the Earned Income Tax Credit, which I think you should. (Like Social Security it goes only to workers and therefore is not “welfare,” under my definition,) https://t.co/CSsgMX1opO

Agree. My recipe suggestion is that if you ladle on the praise really thick on the front end you can maybe get away with actual criticism on the back end. Not “right president/right time” but “Trump saved America!” …but then he went a little crazy etc, https://t.co/HrkGMVa3AL
