mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My sophisticated take is that in a two-party system the ruling party will switch back and forth, and it's really bad when one of those parties is both insane and incompetent at governing. 060

mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 06/09/2026If Covid had hit while Biden was president, he would lose because of that. If Trump had to deal with covid and double digit inflation he would have lost. Whoever has to run defending tariffs, a war of choice, and higher prices is not going to do great. 010

mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 04/09/2026As an American who went to McGill, you can get a great education at a large university. I would add the concept of “elite” university doesn’t exist in the same way in Canada as in the US. They’re seen as good schools among a larger set of good Canadian schools. It’s a much healthier perspective 130

mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Well, they are reliable and dependable in that I can pretty much predict what they are going to say by adding 8 points to Trump's approval compared to other polls. 000

mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Although I’ve mostly freed myself from neoclassical economics, this is a case where the marginal improvement from helmet vs. no helmet probably exceeds the benefit from the seatbelt change (but I’m no expert). The existence of insurance makes this not an entirely private cost matter. 000

mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026This goes way back. It was that way during my brief stint as a political reporter in the late ‘80’s. Back then they were friendlier too - I doubt that holds today 000
mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Binface represents the natural evolution of the substance-free, pro-wrestling style campaigning of MAGA and Farage. But he doesn’t seem mean, so that’s good. 000
mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If it means dropping the talking head pundit shows, I’m actually all for it. But that’s not what I think he means. I would rather money and time be spent on beefing up national and international reporting than going to David Axelrod and that Jennings bozo. That stuff adds nothing useful at all. 010
mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s a hypothetical so how could it be? It’s based on how how we treat stuff today - eg drug patents But I have to say I am super annoyed about being quoted so you can score points with friends 000
mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Dude I wasn’t saying Democrats today are against libraries! Of course they’re not. What I was saying is that if they didn’t exist and you tried to propose them it wouldn’t get anywhere because it’s” socialism” 100
mrmoa.bsky.social @mrmoa.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Jesus. They think that because it’s already established and taken for granted. I was making a hypothetical that if you proposed it today there would be all sorts of intellectual arguments. Please try listen in good faith 100
