Right. The point is that @CBS ignored the intense GOP concern about the border in order to push their preferred angle, ‘Crazy MAGA Republicans and their partisan revenge investigations.’ Expect more of the same from MSM for next 2 years. https://t.co/DbpSQvFGyF

Good to see Biden-and Brownstein-abandoning a fixation on the “Coalition of the Ascendant” to focus on wages for non-college workers.

But how do you write this piece without even considering the contradictory wage-cutting impact of Biden importing millions of migrant workers? https://t.co/wa2WsfZN5v

Emphasis on diversity seems most obvious current ESG weak spot. But if non-DEI firms can’t outperform DEI firms (assuming they can get capital) then maybe DEI’s not so bad after all. (This argument would not apply to non-outsourcing firms-they’ll lose but that doesn’t end debate)
