This seems scandalous–never trust Rupert, I guess–but what do they mean by “debate strategy”? If it’s Murdoch’s ideas for strategy, that’s one thing and not so scandalous. If it’s *Biden’s* strategy–well, how would Murdoch know it? https://t.co/LAr6V8mc9Y

OK. But was Carter’s analysis right? Was the crisis because government was “twisted and pulled” by “special interests” (as I thought also at the time)? Or because government willingly allowed our working class to be tossed into the trash bin of history via trade and immigration? https://t.co/fwDLq1llMJ

I mean, every chip firm would pretty much fully capture all the labor benefits of a child care investment–ie they would get the extra workers. So why does government have to step in, except for the obvious Biden political goal of pursuing part of the failed BBB? https://t.co/QZubM5owfT

HUGE GIFT TO DESANTIS who needs a way to criticize Biden’s ‘reindustrialization’ project while supporting its goals. Now he can argue Biden’s crippling the plan by adding all sorts of well-meaning but non-essential mandatess like child care. Next: DEI, gender-affirming bathrooms https://t.co/d6r3gAfCzZ

“The move seeks to help more women join the work force as industry leaders complain of labor shortages.”
If child care will help alleviate a labor shortage by freeing up (mostly) women workers, why won’t the chip firms do it of their own volition? Basic question. Not answered. https://t.co/d6r3gAfCzZ
