McNamara helped destroy the US auto industry, then he helped destroy the country (Vietnam), then he helped destroy the world (World Bank). I heard him talk once at a meeting. He was brilliant and charming. https://t.co/FDD03qL4gT

I’m hearing a lot of IQ this and IQ that. Effective leaders are not always the ones with highest IQ! When Henry Ford II hired the WWII “Whiz Kids” as a group, he had them tested. The highest IQ was Robert McNamara, who went on to do immense damage to the human race. The leader of https://t.co/Gyznfkyp3X

Seems like a substantial, revenue-raising property tax fosters class segregation, because non-rich people can’t afford to pay it when the value of their home appreciates, so they have to move out. … (You can protect with Prop. 13 like grandfathering, but then you have Prop.13.) https://t.co/JXSmFy45nT

Caruso somehow convinced himself he couldn’t win. Would be humiliating to him if Pratt now wins. Time for Caruso to suck it up—though I’m not sure his endorsement would be that important. I assume all Caruso voters are already Pratt voters. https://t.co/qBOkPgL1GW

Been waiting for this. It may not be just in Ghislaine’s self-interest that she throw someone to the wolves. But how likely is it to be a friend of Trump rather than a non-friend, say someone named Bill? That said, not much to this story https://t.co/riFmWlTkfJ
