1) It now seems clear that Red States are going to adopt universal school choice and Blue States are going to do the opposite (in fact are going to require a degree of ideological managerial control in schools that surpasses anything I grew up with). This is a huge difference between the "state capacity" and "free market" view on one of our societies biggest and most important sectors.
2) I personally have a front row seat to the IRA. I will give you a review of my sector:
1) The CBO score on the IRA was an outright lie and everyone knows it was an outright lie.
2) The IRA claims it saves money while at least increasing cost by 300%.
This matches earlier special interest giveaways I've observed in my career in healthcare.
The Democratic Party is ultimately an Eds and Meds lobbyist group backed by single and government employment (and adjacent) women. It's not going to build. That isn't what the base wants (the base isn't male policy wonk nerds that think they are philosopher kings that should rule).
I FULLY ENDOSE what Ezra is trying to do, and think the world would be a better place if he wins his intra party debate.
But I also advised my nephew in California to move to Florida, because I just don't believe in Ezra at a fundamental *goals* level. I think the state should shrink, not grow.
If Dems want to rule nationally they should prove they can rule well in blue states. If CA started following an abundance agenda I believe that would actually work.
I also think it's unlikely, but I will continue to promote it.
We REALLY need two sane competent political parties. Sadly we have ZERO right now
I want to give you two concrete examples.
