As they say: Conservative politics is progressive politics 10 years later. Either we are seeing an acceleration of this dynamic or maybe the Green proposal wasn't all that progressive in the first place.

The problem with this proposal is that it assumes it is in everyone's interest to "solve" immigration. It is not! It has proved to be very effective in mobilising discourse and voters. Why would you want to give that tool out of hand?

I have been sitting in Cologne at a conference on industrial policy we're a lot of economists warned against corporate capture and rent seeking. But recent evidence suggests that we can have rent seeking even without industrial policy.

Indeed. in GER it is quite clear that not all primary steelmaking capacity will prevail. At the same time massive reinvestments are necessary. We need a mechanism to coordinate this and perhaps compensate between winners and losers. Is we leave it to the invisible hand, everyone loses.

I think they need ICE to secure "safe" mid-term elections. Are you ready for ICE squads at every polling station making sure everyone votes right?

Not sure they have that distinction clearly in their heads... Interestingly, the phase-out of free allocation was what they mentioned first. But that does not necessarily mean it was the more relevant "trigger". In any case, I do not think that there was one "trigger" anyway. Its always multicausal.
