I can only think of one person for whom this is true and it’s Stephen Miller, who for some reason will not rest till the US reproduces the violent xenophobia that made his and my ancestors flee eastern Europe. The rest of his family seems normal, though
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

rules against filling food with sawdust and antifreeze also “hurt affordability“
Why am I not surprised. “Senate Republicans in January plan to criticize requirements for safety technology, arguing they are ineffective and will unnecessarily drive up the cost of cars, according to people familiar with the situation.” Pedestrian lives, on the other hand, are cheap

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

This is why the “businessman” discourse about Trump was so absurd. Instead of the executive committee managing the common affairs of the bourgeoisie, for Trump the state exists to distribute favors to loyalists and insiders, which perfectly matches his experience of the state as a *developer*
No one demanded the market distorting effects of personalist dictatorship more than capital, they should be happy with their choice. bsky.app/profile/carl...
