    Sr. Fellow @ManhattanInst Sen. Portman chief economist (2011-17), DC think tanker (2001-11), budget policy for 4 prez campaigns. Independent. Tweets mine.🏳️‍🌈

    When an economist opens their mouth, everyone should be legally required to scream at them until they shut up. An endless chorus of screams like a Ligeti composition which only grows as more people hear it.

    Honestly pretty funny bit though. Drop a horrible hot take and then lock the replies when you get mad that people call you out on your horrible hot take. I think I might steal that bit idea

    I only know LBJ from his part in helping install the military dictatorship in Brazil. What else did he do?

      he happened to be the one in office when the Civil Rights Act was passed here in the USA, so we (“progressives” in general) are expected to treat him like a Good Guy

      he also started US involvement in the vietnam war because he was a huge anticommunist piece of shit

      he got harassed daily by crowds of people outside the white house chanting “hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today” because of that

        shouldn’t let off Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy on involvement in Vietnam

          Yeah he certainly ramped up the war (he didn’t want his brain splattered on a car like his predecessor) but yeah the US was actually involved since the french Indochina war
