For many years, liberal economists have called for a tighter labor market (to raise wages and give workers the power to get better working conditions).
Now, with a Democrat in the White House, it’s “Sorry, you can’t have that …”

Why do I think “who you follow, who you retweet” is the most important phrase here? If you merely *follow* someone who has violated rules against “disinformation” etc. (as interpreted by Twitter libs) you got downranked. Guilt by association is the *rule*. https://t.co/GUh9AZvzu0

Banning Trump and throttling Bhattacharya are the headline -rabbers, but how the Machine-Learning-trained algorithm helped censor lots of ordinary, non-bigshot accounts seems like the heart of the matter. And we are just starting to learn the details … https://t.co/e5VOaPjZWN

Old Twitter downgraded “accounts that repeatedly Tweet and mention accounts that don’t follow them.” https://t.co/STH2Y4cAk5 Huh? I thought the point of conversation in the public square is you get to argue with people who don’t know or necessarily like you?

More child tax credit cash-with a real work requirement-might be a good thing (if v-expensive). But the key’s in the requirement’s details. Seems crazy for GOPs to try to cut a deal in a last-ditch frenzy when they might not control the pen. Better to do it when it’s a GOP House. https://t.co/aqAsY9cqkP

WH ‘signals’ it’s ready for work requirements. That’s the lede paragraph. Then you read that WH “officials hope Democrats can secure broad exemptions to any requirements.” Work requirements that don’t actually require work are a longtime Dem specialty. https://t.co/t8EtXDjE5g

This clip captures what it is about Biden that caused journalists to flee for the exits when he visited their newsrooms (before 2016). Latches onto an idea & stat he’s been given, talks to them like they’re elementary schoolers, thinks he’s being very wise, expects applause. https://t.co/MxlZCYyHVS
