    Tom Friedman: Iraq is six months away from becoming a thriving, vibrant pluralistic democracy if we just keep troops there. Also Tom Friedman: Minneapolis is a dangerous and dystopian hellhole that even Mad Max couldn't survive in.https://twitter.com/maggiekb1/status/1408067859301867522 …

    Look, we can have debates about the best detailed policy response to rampant racism and unchecked violence in policing. We can have debates about how best to reduce crime. But as someone who currently lives in Minneapolis, what @tomfriedman is saying here is a lie. pic.twitter.com/eRP7Fpq58r

        Does anyone even talk about this man and share him anymore? I remember he was famous and prominent 15 to 20 years ago, but now I barely hear his name anymore.

        I’ve heard that 6 months away canard before… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_Unit … there’s also the Kurzweil, the perpetual 20 years away that general AI and the singularity is.

        Proud of him for blaming defunding the police which hasn't happened and I would like to know which Minneapolis he means.
