You've gotta judge monetary policy by its results. The fact that inflation has been below the Fed's 2 percent target for almost all of the last 7 years, and growth has been below historical norms, strongly suggests money has been too tight for most of that period.

The absolute value of interest rates are a bad way to judge the tightness or looseness of monetary policy. For example, it's obvious in retrospect that monetary policy was too loose in the 1970s, even though the FFR was way higher than it has been at any point in the 21st Century

I don't believe you are actually worried about the cops killing sensors here.

I'm not following you. My point was that that tweet might not have been "endorsing countermajoritarian violent intimidation." It could still be bad for other reasons, as Kyle points out.

Maybe they think the claims of violence are overblown? I honestly don't know, hence the question.

Probably. I just think misplaced sarcasm is different from endorsing violence.

The Rockefeller Foundation gave @dylanmatt money to make a podcast and he did a whole season making the case against big philanthropy and perpetual trusts. Fearless. vox.com/future-perfect… vox.com/future-perfect…

Do you feel the same way about a court compelling a witness to testify?

It's only going to lead to violence and death if senators resist lawful orders from law enforcement.

I would hope not! Surely Republican senators respect the rule of law?

I don't see any reason to say that one procedural tactic (fleeing to prevent a quorum) is sacrosanct while another (compelling senators to attend) is outrageous.

And it's the sergeant at arms's job to arrest you and make you come to the chamber if you try to prevent a quorum. I'm not seeing a problem.

And if they don't want to do the job of being an Oregon senator they can quit.

Peer pressure is also driven by donor money though because donors have a big influence in the distribution of peers' views.
