Another day, another Hoover Institution retraction, the third (of which I'm aware) based on shoddy data analysis.

As you consider what went wrong-both in the USA generally-but also with the Democratic Party, I invite you to consider the data presented in this piece. It isn’t that Democrats were wrong, just completely unwilling to address the problem at the scale of the problem. time.com/5888024/50-t...

So, friends, with the invaluable assistance of @hiltzikm.bsky.social at the LA Times, whose article appears today (paywalled), the Hoover Institution has retracted its story about the CA labor market that I had flagged as fatally flawed last week.👏

“Educationism”appeals to the wealthy & powerful because it tells us what we want to hear: that we can help restore shared prosperity without sharing our wealth or power.

In 2019, I spoke w/ @nickhanauer.bsky.social, a super-rich dude who was warning "fellow plutocrats" that people would be coming for them w/ pitchforks. I asked what form he thought the pitchforks would take. He said: "They're already here. Trumpism is pitchforks." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Why did Trump really win? It's simple, actually.
When the economy thrives while half of America struggles, something has got to give.
