    Jeet Heer Retweeted Josh Barro

    I'm a bit puzzled by why Barro (and guys like him) are angry all the time. I mean the entire world is their oyster. He's the son of Harvard prof, has held many cushy jobs, & his brand of neoliberalism dominates the policy preferences of both major USA parties. Why so grouchy?https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1520655572231589888 …

        Monetising complaining is the highest form of capitalism.

        I actually agree with Barro on 95% of stuff tbh but dont think he would be this aggressive if he didn't have a personal newsletter. Don't think he was this ornery in his NPR days. Though maybe working for larger pub has its own weird incentives too.

        Probably because he has to read ridiculous tweets for several hours a day and also because the kind of neoliberalism espoused by the Democratic Party is the worst of both worlds. It's neoliberal while seeming "leftist" because it's hyper-woke.

        You gotta work up an angry grievance head of steam to rationalize supporting conservatives

        Those who are born on third base--thinking that they hit a triple--are INTENSELY resentful of the 90 feet between themselves and home base.

        Bingo. Despite being born into entitlement and wealth, they actually amount to very little themselves.
