.@DraperRobert blames Gingrich for a “zero-sum brand of politics” and “jut-jawed intransigence” without even mentioning the bipartisan 1996 welfare reform that was his (and Bill Clinton’s) biggest legislative achievement. Ridiculous. https://t.co/Pfb0NkMmRO https://t.co/AsZcchj4od

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)

That said, i suspect Krein’s wildly naive about how ESG operates in practice (and just happens to fixate on lib/woke values–diversity, not,say, family formation or national security).

Suspect Krein is right that *populist* conservatism, at least, can’t be based on shareholder primacy or “profits over politics.” Will require government regulation (tho he doesn’t come out and say it) not changing corporate governance in an anti-ESG way. https://t.co/3rlmjcnu5Z

Actually not so much that they’d buy the magazine in order to read a Kissinger article, but that the (unread) Kissinger article makes the magazine seem classier.

I had brain lock (one of many) and forgot the in-house newsmagazine term for a long Henry Kissinger piece that nobody will read (but they might buy the magazine for when it’s billed on the cover). The term is “hood ornament.”

Since the welfare reforms of the ’90s were specifically designed, in part, to change the culture of single and teen motherhood, it’s odd that @JasonDeParle doesn’t discuss them now that their goal has been partly achieved. (He does mention them once in passing.) https://t.co/uLcuxISrUO

“Does cutting teen births reduce child poverty, or does cutting child poverty reduce teen births?” Hmm. The two positive trends might also be completely independent, or both be caused by a third factor (hot economy, or … welfare reform) no? https://t.co/Y4QHkj8tgo
