This seems like the sort of stat that would confirm that Trump’s immigration-lowering policies are having a positive effect at the bottom of the labor market (an economic trend–integration into the work force–that should bring big social benefits).

One likely takeaway from the new LAT poll is that Trump’s “I’d-like-to-see-him-do-well,” while not a full endorsement death blow was more damaging than I’d hoped … If Pratt makes a runoff he’ll have time to counter the simplistic ‘framing.’ https://t.co/X6i09MrY02

Actually, if the new LAT poll is right, there is a real chance Bass won’t make the runoff. Raman doing better than (I, for one) expected in the poll, which itself may be an expression of reluctance to reelect Bass. All separated by 4 points. https://t.co/8yNt3qFmWG https://t.co/uy8WFZmLcj

The issue is HOW MANY striving immigrants. Does he recognize any limit? His front porch metaphor–with him willing to keep out only people who “mean to do us harm”–conveniently ducks that question.

Contrarian second thoughts on the new Ferrari EV: The car was co-designed by Marc Newsom, and reminds me of his Ford 021c from 1999 [below]. I’ve always thought this was the direction EV car styling should go–simple, unpretentious, utilitarian, no BS spoilers, etc. The Ferrari https://t.co/jxpmvQLUVt https://t.co/wtyrtu9RoO

I especially think Pratt’s attack on the YIMBY SB79 bill for its “one fatal flaw; it predicates housing development on proximity to public transportation” rings true. Even in nice apartments next to a bus stop 99% of tenants will want a car. A more plausible way to cut down on

LA Times’ Steve Lopez must have honed his craft at the @SemaforBen drive-by school of journalism. He says Pratt’s “flimsy resume” could explain why he’s “been taking so many social media-fueled potshots at Bass without offering anything of substance.” Over a month earlier Pratt
