editorial from WSJ on this. Unfortunately behind a paywall
So help me with the logic for why he would sign that bill . . . he is not dumb, yet this seems stupid to the point of dangerous. WHat thread of logic is he latching onto?
Cynically, I find this to be expected. The political toolkit “smear your opponent” is open to all, and subject to use by both parties as circumstances make convenient.
My office is in Illinois, and I can personally attest to the large number of people trying to get out. Moreover, when we hire and relocate people, almost all of them choose to live in Indiana. REasons are obvious to those who follow IL news, and I can go into them if anyone is unfamiliar.
I really think we need to pass whatever legislation is needed to re-draw districts only after the 10 year census. I’d like guidance on some kind of non-partisan team to do this and/or some “geometric” limitations. probably a long-shot, and may require a constitutional amendment. I suspect a plurality of AMericans are or will soon be really sick of this.
yes cringeworthy
BUt also potentially REALLY STUPID! We shall if it matters or not, but I think this or something similar sure could bite him.
I will be curious what form this actually takes. He obviously backed off on Chicago, and I don’t believe has yet sent any “troops” to Memphis.
Pendulums definitely swing! Sometimes in minor ways, and sometimes major. I feel like right now we have a pendulum swinging in multiple dimensions, and things will settle into a a more moderate pattern of change by 2030. We shall see . . .
to me energy is inexpensive when looked at through a lens of energy inflation over the last 50 or 60 years, and also as % of economic inputs. So curious what makes you say, “If we had cheap energy . . . “
scary. Minneapolis has been doing better the last few years, recovering from poor BLM and Covid responses. If this comes to pass, I forsee a serious downward spiral.
Mick, to clarify your point, are you saying being an American citizen is detrimental because there are so many potential immigrants eager to compete with us for jobs? Based on the attractiveness of moving to America?
I am unsure as to how effectively we can assess cognition. But I am hugely in favor of term limits, which I argue would achieve the same end!
