“Is it the decrease in real wages (which has nothing to do with policy)?” How did the decrease in wages have nothing to do with policy when Biden’s policy was to let in 7-10 million migrants to bid down wages (which his economists trumpeted as a feature, not bug)? https://t.co/reShCJJZnQ

Maybe the left is energized, or returning to Twitter from its Bluesky ghetto—or more likely they’ve tweaked the X algorithm— but I’m seeing more Dems and anti-Trumpers in my For You feed, which is good.

Back in the 1960s lefties would say democracy was a sham, the voters would never be allowed to alter the grim establishment (OK, ruling class) status quo.

Note the parallel with abuse of “asylum” law, which relies on the long, cumbersome nature of adjudication (meanwhile bogus asylees get to stay and work).

Talk about the rule of law–“reliance” doctrine seems like a huge incentive for pols to violate the law. They know that even if something’s unlawful, it won’t be undone due to “reliance.” At least it won’t be undone for those (like DACA recipients) who’ve “relied” on it. https://t.co/kS5mWAgCyd
