Things that went whizzing by that I want to remember: I wrote that there are, typically, four kinds of conservative parties.... “Whig measures and Tory men”.... The party... of creative destruction and social darwinism.Reactionaries... at war with a dystopian “armed doctrine”.... The fearful ... who believe it is they who will be creatively destroyed... and the grifters who exploit them...
Re: Brooke Harrington and "slow boring", they both imply that Democrats need to stop demonizing the vast majority of anti-vaxxers, take a gentler persuasive approach that doesn't alienate them, while perhaps vigorously documenting *and advertising* the complete hypocrisy of the likes of Tucker Carlson and his ilk peddling his brand of BS; they are ALL vaccinated.
P.S. Someone please talk me down; I spent 3 weeks in the hospital watching CNN display the excruciating train wreck that is Congress; I have 2 grown sons and I want them to have a decent tomorrow (but I feel we are all doomed- did you see what Hurricane Ida did?)
Productivity increases when ALL of "the workers are empowered to change how things are done", "in an environment of meaningful competition", "where benefit from increased productivity accrues to those doing the work", and "there's effective measurement of results" are true.
NONE of those things are true in construction. It's a structural problem, and it's a structural problem by policy where the scale of the fix is roughly "stop being notionally capitalist".
