“No matter how many jobs Biden’s initiatives create [Dem pollster Molly Murphy says], “if you are treating them as lesser jobs, we are still going to have our problems from the cultural side…”

Seems right. Social equality > money equality. https://t.co/wa2WsfZN5v

Good to see Biden-and Brownstein-abandoning a fixation on the “Coalition of the Ascendant” to focus on wages for non-college workers.

But how do you write this piece without even considering the contradictory wage-cutting impact of Biden importing millions of migrant workers? https://t.co/wa2WsfZN5v

Actually Shear confronted them with complaints from “advocacy groups” for migrants that Biden was abandoning his dismal policies on immigration–ie his new plan is somehow too tough. https://t.co/D3aWftWNHj

Yes. “Broken system” is a poll-tested phrase that’s used by people who want more mass immigration and amnesty. It’s a tell. https://t.co/dPP9g1c9sD

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
