Democrats aren't just against building data centers. They are against building anything. washingtonexaminer.com/opini…

🇺🇸 America cannot lead the next generation of innovation if we refuse to build the infrastructure that makes it possible.
AAF’s @_JaceWhite breaks down how thw growing backlash against data centers reveals a troubling shift from embracing progress to fearing change.

🚨NEW FROM AAF: DSA EXPOSED
The Democratic Socialists of America promise freedom and prosperity, but their actual agenda tells a different story:
🔴 More government control
🔴 Higher taxes
We’re exposing what the DSA really stands for. 🧵
On the theme of the dangers of total resistance to change, my Tocqueville-reading-group-running boss, @jayshelt, highlighted the following passage from Democracy in America:
I cannot prevent myself from fearing that men will arrive at the point of looking on every new theory as a peril, every innovation as a distressing trouble, every social progress as a first step toward a revolution, and that they will altogether refuse to move for fear that they will be carried away. I tremble, I confess, that they will finally allow themselves to be so much possessed by a relaxed love of present enjoyments that interest in their own future and that of their descendants will disappear, and they will rather follow the course of their destiny weakly than make a sudden and energetic effort when needed to redress it.
People believe that the new societies are going to change face daily, and I am afraid that in the end they will be too unchangeably fixed in the same institutions, the same prejudices, the same mores, so that the human race will stop and limit itself; that the mind will fold and refold itself around itself eternally without producing new ideas, that man will exhaust himself in small, solitary, sterile motions, and that, while constantly moving, humanity will no longer advance.

Complete meltdown by Cass over an article that...does not mention him at all.
I'm not a chief economist, so I don't know what it's like, but maybe the stresses of the job have him on edge.
1/ Only a matter of time before @wsj_opinion faceplanted here. @MattHennessey: "There are even some who think it’s OK to call yourself a 'chief economist' when you don’t have an economics degree."
Guess how many chief economists without econ degrees WSJ has on its econ panel?

Data center backlash has given NIMBYs new energy, imperiling permitting reform.
Yet NIMBYism, I argue, is self-defeating. It tries to preserve our present lives by blocking change, but change is so vital that suppressing it would alter our lives even more.

"Many members of Congress say they believe that once employees vote to unionize, they 'must be able to promptly secure a first contract.' Unless, of course, they work for Congress."
@PostOpinions
washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Typical: @RoKhanna's staff want an unhurried, four-year contract negotiation for their "unique" union...
...but their boss and nearly every other Democrat support forcibly sending union negotiations to government arbitrators after just 90 days.

Russ Greene argues that despite the concept's popularity as a conservative talking point, "meritocracy is not a core tenet of the American creed and has little to do with America’s economic system."
Is he right? Find out at our next debate workshop on October 29th. Link Below.
Passing Right to Work laws can take years, even decades, to pass. As my former colleague @ChrisChesny89 explains, Oklahoma elected a slate of statewide leaders who supported RTW in 1994, and it only passed in 2001.
Conservative legislative victories take time, and the Right to Work movement is uniquely good at fighting these long battles.
25 years of Right to Work -- and the results are hard to argue with.
As this piece marking Oklahoma’s 25th anniversary explains, before Right to Work, Oklahoma’s job growth lagged the national average by 25%.
Since then, employment growth has been more than 60% greater than the average for non-Right to Work states.
And Oklahomans are taking home more, too: nearly $10,000 more in disposable income per person than the average resident of a non-Right to Work state, adjusted for regional cost-of-living differences.
After 25 years, Right to Work has become an indispensable part of Oklahoma’s identity and a powerful example of what happens when workers have the freedom to choose whether to support a labor union.
Freedom works. Oklahoma is living proof.
