Would you believe me if I said it's possible to: - cut the highest effective tax rates in the country below 50% - cut capital gains taxes by ~ 4% - have net income rise among the bottom 60% - AND raise > $600B revenue/year *very* progressively? @mattyglesias, @Noahpinion, @jdcmedlock

"Conservatives may decry the VAT as an instrument of European socialism, but they have proposed VATs themselves, just under alternative names. They speak of the VAT like the wizards in the Harry Potter stories speak of Voldemort—careful never to say the name."

@ishapiro @Heminator “Such ignorance and lack of gratitude” Ilya says about the black woman having little pride in America. You often make insane comments about black issues and no one seems to care 😂

This may well be true, but even if it isn’t the fact that it’s plausible shows how seriously toxic the American left is. Reminds me of when Michelle Obama—who is a woman even if her party doesn’t know what a woman is—said she was proud of the country for the first time when her husband was elected. Such ignorance and lack of gratitude.

Foreigners visiting this country for the World Cup love America more than the average Democrat voter does.

@kurtlash1 Emergence of new history? Yeah it just so happens that new history emerges right when the case goes to SCOTUS

Even as the Court prepares its ruling in Trump v. Barbara, scholars continue to explore the historical record and present serious arguments regarding birthright citizenship. R. Epstein's book and the new Whittington/Keener essay both investigate the antebellum background of citizenship, and both claim that 1866 cong. debates must be understood in a manner consistent with this background--but the book and the essay reach opposite conclusions about what exactly that background establishes. Given the on-going and real time emergence of new history and new arguments, it does not seem like the best time for the Court to entrench a constitutional rule and deny the people the right to debate and enact policy on the issue.

People always talk about how California is the 4th largest economy in the world without remembering how it was built -- the dem dominant era since 2010 has been a destroyer of value, not a creator of it. It's just coasting on the foundation laid by red and purple eras. If it continues and drifts further towards progressivism, more and more of the companies, wealth, innovation, and students will continue to move to the red states as we've seen lately with the exodus to Texas and Florida. Nobody smart wants to participate in this madness, and defiling Berkeley like this is shameful and despicable. It doesn't need to be this way, Californians need to wake up and purge progressivism from the state. It doesn't work and it's killing the golden goose that took 150 years to build.

California is turning UC Berkeley (whose professors won 4 Nobel Prizes last year) into remedial school. No SAT for admissions and a new mandate to make everyone's "outcomes similar." No mention of excellence. This is how bureaucrats kill the nation’s best public university.

In the last week, multiple colleagues have expressed concern that generative AI will somehow destroy society's esteem for mathematics and mathematicians. Contrariwise, I conjecture the opposite. I've never seen the level of public fascination with math that we're seeing right now — weekly articles in major outlets; people outside the field teaching themselves arithmetic combinatorics; heck, even the owner of a local café recently asked me to explain the unit distance conjecture. If anything, this seems likely to renew students' excitement, uncover new applications, and open new frontiers — all of which should inure to the benefit of the field and of mathematicians. QED?

Caleb Hammer said America spend more on social programs number wise than most other countries. Guest(Female): With blue hair, you think I'm patriotic? Caleb Hammer: You can still be patriotic and be wrong about economics. Guest(Female): Why would I be patriotic when we're spending more money on bombs than we are for like social justice, or... social programs? Caleb Hammer: We spend 50% of the federal spending on social programs. Guest(Female): Like what? Caleb Hammer: Social programs, Medicare, Medicaid, mandatory spending, SNAP benefits, veteran benefits. Guest(Female): I think it needs to be more on the social programs. Caleb Hammer: And then you're just not patriotic. What do you mean? We spend more than like anyone. Well, number-wise, absolutely.

As usual I don’t think this perspective is crazy, but also as usual it ignores what more centralized selection based on revenue or fiscal impact or skills will look like in practice. For example, this administration has imposed a $100,000 tax on H1-B applications. George Borjas, the only prominent immigration economist in the admin and one of the dissertation advisers of the builders of this helpful tool, Manhattan’s @DanielDiMartino, has defended this fee as close to revenue maximizing. During the first Trump admin, senators Cotton and Perdue proposed a bill to introduce a point system to select immigrants, probably the leading example of legislation of the more central planning variety. Setting aside that, written by lawyers, it awarded lots of points to lawyers, it would have had a very negative fiscal impact both by dramatically cutting overall legal immigration and by stripping hundreds of thousands of current H1-B holders of their status. More broadly, I struggle with perspectives that look at the federal government’s management of immigration policy over the past decade and say, “those guys know what’s up, let’s give them more discretion and power” instead of empowering families, firms, and universities.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

If you select immigrants for fiscal benefits, then you can get large fiscal benefits which should make you want to admit more immigrants so the benefits get bigger. slowboring.com/p/better-immig…

@SingerS34440352 @CoreyWriting Because the West is outwardly anti-Russian, but at its core it’s pro Russian. In the beginning emotions ran high, but people don’t care anymore. Russia could line up every last Ukrainian for public execution and many would cry “but Russian nukes! We cant help Ukraine, sorry!”

@dispenseofgrace @CoreyWriting Obama is the son of a black immigrant, first of all, second, it’s extremely pathetic to think Obama should be checking the ancestry of black people he “elevates” as if hes choosing to elevate black people specifically at all. Stupid

It doesn't have to be the same thing. Some of us maintained our dignity by opposing Trump, just to watch you all sell it off to the first DSA dumbass with a Nazi tattoo, knowing full well that you're just a couple of contested elections away from becoming the thing you claim to hate.
