Honestly pretty funny bit though. Drop a horrible hot take and then lock the replies when you get mad that people call you out on your horrible hot take. I think I might steal that bit idea
Most people get caught up in the drama of the replies, it take a true visionary to drop a horrendous steamer and then just walk out of the room. Be that visionary.
Sr. Fellow @ManhattanInst
Sen. Portman chief economist (2011-17), DC think tanker (2001-11), budget policy for 4 prez campaigns. Independent. Tweets mine.🏳️🌈
When an economist opens their mouth, everyone should be legally required to scream at them until they shut up. An endless chorus of screams like a Ligeti composition which only grows as more people hear it.
It should be physically loud enough that it's like diving with sperm whales. All of society coming together for a psychic attack strong enough to rupture organs.
That people like this have any influence in DC should be a sign to baby leftists that reforming from the inside is damn near impossible when even the outer circles of Washington are full of people like this.
His page on the Manhattan Institute says he has a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from the University of Wisconsin, so he could be a Wisconsinite.
he happened to be the one in office when the Civil Rights Act was passed here in the USA, so we ("progressives" in general) are expected to treat him like a Good Guy
he also started US involvement in the vietnam war because he was a huge anticommunist piece of shit
he got harassed daily by crowds of people outside the white house chanting "hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today" because of that
