"I guess I don’t care if he mispronounces 'Venezuela' while appearing to get high on his own supply, I care about the fascism. Project 2025 is a fascist endeavor.

If we were a healthy society, we would prioritize a return to decency and the rule of law. We would swiftly arrest Donald Trump and his co-conspirators for their complicity in an attempted coup, which somehow this country seems to have forgotten."

@paul_aman @wdlindsy Why do Americans insist on electing old people as president? With a population of that size, is there no one in their 30s, 40s or 50s who could do the job?

Last year, workers took 20 sick days as Germany's economy shrank by 0.3%. A study suggests with less sick leave, the economy would have grown by 0.5%.

This is why the US wants to weaken COVID guidance despite no change in science. They want to risk worker health for the economy.

@luckytran Whoever thinks that forcing sick people into work will improve productivity probably shouldn't have any influence on policy and probably aren't very good researchers.

Counter-factual history has its place for understanding what happened in the past, but shaping industrial policy isn't the place for it.
