Actually, the deplatforming was maybe crucial in Trump’s comeback. He went away for a bit. When he came back many voters had forgotten a) what they’d not liked about him b) how annoying it was to have to pay attention to him all the time. They just remembered a good economy… https://t.co/wSVBFB0MHl https://t.co/o1XRWG52Ob

Things you can’t really say about Matt Gaetz (well, OK, he’s smart). There are two types of “fighters” and “disruptors.” Bhattacharya seems like the good kind. https://t.co/lnX3BtHo12

PS I’m not saying you can’t raise pre-tax incomes at the bottom-that’s what tightening the labor market through immigration control is all about. But to rein in *inequality* you probably also have to lower relentlessly growing incomes at and near the top. Maybe AI will do it

The Gini index of inequality has been steadily rising since the mid-70s, through Dem and Republican presidents, boom and bust. It goes up and down (it went down a bit during Trump too) but mainly keeps rising.
