Could an EV alley from Michigan to Alabama reconfigure Congressional politics on the energy transition? Car industry currently accounts for 3% of uS GDP and employs 900k. New investments in EV will be huge. ft.com/content/a91a13… https://t.co/5QYM2vPJmg
US towns, states and regions are vying to lure new electric vehicle plants like Ford’s Tennessee complex, to be dubbed Blue Oval City. When will this tip the argument in Congress over the energy transition? ft.com/content/a91a13… https://t.co/oSJa7gt08f

@willem18010004 @BuddyYakov @DavidAstinWalsh @MattZeitlin @athenogenes @postposting1 Yup. Excellent textbook style discussion.
@BuddyYakov @DavidAstinWalsh @MattZeitlin @athenogenes @postposting1 Hadn’t thought of invoking these kind of concepts before. But you are both right.
@DavidAstinWalsh @BuddyYakov @MattZeitlin @athenogenes @postposting1 Oh god … I’ve just seen the other thread. We aren’t discussing Mommsen and Kershaw because of insane stuff happening in Texas are we? Please tell me that wasnt the trigger.
@BuddyYakov @DavidAstinWalsh @MattZeitlin @athenogenes @postposting1 The smart move that Mommsen made was to argue that it was precisely the vagueness of HItler’s intentions that unleashed the competition to fill them with meaning -> Kershaw’s "working towards the Fuehrer” & a kind of mass/bottom-up intentionalism.
Two distinct issues in functionalism v. Intentionalism debate. (1) Did HItler intend the holocaust as it happened "all along"? (2) Given how ramshackle the Nazi regime was, how did cumulative radicalization happen? NONE of it involves ANY kind of denial. twitter.com/athenogenes/st…

Does an influx of migrants reduce wages? To test that question you need a “natural experiment”.

@MitchellBernar2 @leee_harris My question at this point is how far coordination is really the issue. As @leee_harris says, Chinese regime does climate for its own sake. As @tedfertik @70sBachchan have impressed on me, it is really in relation to 3rd party EM that US-China cooperation matters.
