a) We can talk labor shortage when wages start rising (not happening https://t.co/gJ3yzQUFop) b) for a BigThink piece, completely fails to grapple with automation. Maybe we won't need so many new workers? https://t.co/8N0gRJk4ip

This tweet also confirms what many @NYT readers suspect: It's lesser-known mid-level editors, often with agendas, who shape the narrative told by NYT stories — not necessarily the reporters whose names are on them. https://t.co/UAJKOzN7f5

Why is Harry/Meghan's blue Jag so breathtaking? One reason is that decades of safety regulations have unfortunately made cars uglier. Not saying they're not worth it! But don't think you could market this car in US today. pic.twitter.com/zIboNMpRXb

A lot of sneering here but do we really think Brookfield is pouring a lot of its own cash into the Kushners' white elephant trophy building (at least on terms that don't leave the Kushners with a huge loss)? Qatar, on the other hand… https://t.co/GnrCLsOhtN
