Lol fuck David Brooks. It takes a real asshole to take credit for the results of min wage increases for lower class workers as a sign that everything is totally fine. I have vivid memories of spending years of my life without a raise of any kind while the owners of the companies I worked for made millions more than expected.
Also I’d lay even odds that his analysis pretends like investment gains don’t exist and only factors in wages. Dipshit.
The snide and sneering way the NYT covers any candidate but Warren (and Biden, I guess) makes me sick.
I’m not a Bernie voter, but their interview with him was fucking ridiculous. Their interview with Pete was just as bad, if not worse. Guy literally asks him a “question” analogous to “when did you stop beating your wife” then goes on twitter to complain that Pete called him out on the bullshit.
They’ve been in the tank for Warren for a year, and if they don’t endorse her tomorrow, it will be the shock of the century.
Fuck FAIR, their “scholarly think tank” CSI and their racist founder John Tanton , may he not rest in peace.
If you want some fun go to their twitter home pages and see their fans call for murdering immigrants. For not being fearmongering hate groups… they stir a lot of it up.
I read it. In true Stephens style, no part of it is interesting enough to excerpt. It’s an exercise in comparison where he assumes Trump will continue to be ineffectual while also assuming Sanders will be a dictator with the power to unilaterally pass legislation.
