Note that Story C does *not* require that the participants in the sex ring be underage, or even “victims.” (In this case, the ages seem to have been conveniently left vague, which makes it worse of course.) https://t.co/SCC9u1OrND

If by “hoax” Trump means merely the idea that he’s implicated in Epstein scandal, the analogy to “Russiagate” is revealing. But a) unlike Russiagate Epstein scandal is way bigger than Trump (see tweet below)–more potential culprits, for one; b) if Trump NOT implicated, full https://t.co/SCC9u1OrND

I say give them time. They will eventually stop producing null effects … and start producing negative effects, by subsidizing a culture of non-work and non-marriage (as no-strings welfare payments such as AFDC have traditionally done) https://t.co/W24XwtNQQD

Looks like @TheArgumentMag will have an argument about any issue–except immigration. The question is how do we sneak in more immigrants politically, not confronting the negative effects on unskilled wages or on cultural solidarity–or that the countries that have tried the “We

I ask ChatGPT what happened to black wages in latest BLS report. It gives me a lecture on gap between blacks and whites. Not what I asked. (I want to know if black wages went up or down.)

I didn’t realize ChatGPT was woke too. This was a simple question.

Crazy question: What’s the standard for judging “not enough people”? Immigrants leave. The market is supposed to equilibrate. Is the ideal maximum GDP growth? Maximum jobs (including) immigrants? Max GDP/capita? All seem questionable. Wages (median? bottom?) seem best measure no? https://t.co/yVNB8iC90y

PS I’m not against overbuilding. Overbuilding means cheaper rents. Everyday it seems I drive by a new 6-story white apartment building in LA. I smile when I see it. Just suggesting much of the “crisis” aspect may soon be OBE. Or else it’s specific to a couple of cities (SF, NY?).
