The problem is some changes (like immigration amnesties!) are irreversible. So a system that allows more wild swings will over time produce multiple amnesties/mass immigration that can't (unlike taxes) be undone. https://t.co/jHtmyvP5vb

Here I thought everyone on Twitter was making podcasts because they *were* profitable (ie advertisers liked them). But apparently there's an "enthusiasm/revenue gap." We know what that means. https://t.co/BCCu4T74sw

O'Rourke would apparently amnesty undocumented immigrants brought to US as minors–maybe through no fault of their own– AND the parents whose fault it was. https://t.co/3eBBIMaP3Q

Coming around to vulgar left view of it-the business elite really is the ruling class & they want the tight labor market to end. But where's the left? Are the unions fully neutralized by Dem identity politics? That leaves voters. If only some pol would step up. Smith … Smith… https://t.co/rb8Ew2xmRe

I always thought it was the Fed's job to take the punch bowl away right when the party was starting to get good for the average worker. But it's not the Fed this time–there's no inflation, they're standing pat–it's the Kochs & Kushner who want to end the party thru immigration https://t.co/Qz24FqZ7zI

And when business doesn't like the consequences of a tight labor market–higher wages–they have all the money, hire the lobbyists, have a network of aides (eg Kochs) they've nurtured for years,and all of a sudden even Trump's saying "We need people!"–and we get Jared's project. https://t.co/1mOrw5Byof

The Koch network is ascendant in the White House. Marc Short's rehiring was apparently not an aberration. Expect Jared's effort to be a disaster — amnesty + mass *legal* immigration + Potemkin enforcement. But hey, Trump's base will be fine with it. Corporate lobbyists say so. https://t.co/8AJt1NqrQo

Sounds like just the sort of misjudgment Jared would buy into … (He thought Dems would love the Comey firing. Thought his wall-for-DACA deal would get a Senate supermajority–it lost 50-47.) https://t.co/5k9ePcoqqL
