Virtue signalling for Republicans

prior-industry.bsky.social•37 days ago

Welp. That was a strain to read.

grinchw.bsky.social•37 days ago

Really?

A good start at what? Ending freedom? Emptying the white nationalist wife abusing police beaters from the prisons? Gutting all safety (air, land, water) and health oversight? Brain drain of scientists and academics out of the country?

I always find these sanity-free article in the FT really odd. As in - anyone with even a hint of economic knowledge knows the author is completely incorrect on all their assertions. Just bizarre.

Unsurprisingly appears to be a part of the Atlas Network

Low effort as well. All he felt he had to muster for the people it's aimed at.

"AEI's officers include Robert Doar, Danielle Pletka, Yuval Levin, Michael R. Strain..."
and
"American Enterprise Institute (AEI), is a center-right[2] think tank"
The institute may be considered "center-right" in the US?
The article offers nothing for climate change.

kiwikurt.bsky.social•37 days ago

Feels like centre-right in US is more like what would be considered just left of the extreme right in most other countries

No.

you know you all don't have to be propagandists, right?

owejessen.de•37 days ago

Hard to argue against much needed revenue. They should add "paid advertisment" on the top of the article though.

kevster.bsky.social•37 days ago

The reader comments in the FT are pure gold

owejessen.de•37 days ago

How much money do they pay to place these advertisments?

whitejames.bsky.social•37 days ago

Not a huge fan of some of the ft op/ed recently

Afraid it undermines the great work the actual journalists do

archivesboy.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good Lord. Apart from the content, that reads like a child's book report.

kentindell.bsky.social•37 days ago

Michael Stain on humanity.

jonathanhopkin.bsky.social•37 days ago

Why is the FT publishing this

maxrothbarth.bsky.social•37 days ago

Give the contributors rope to hang themselves

jonathanhopkin.bsky.social•37 days ago

It got me to click anyway

george17.bsky.social•37 days ago

Why shouldn’t it? Aren’t media with slogan neither fear nor favour supposed to publish from both sides of the political spectrum? Or dyu think more Peoples Daily approach to publishing?

jonathanhopkin.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s just lobbyist propaganda.

jonathanhopkin.bsky.social•37 days ago

In the emergency we’re in dignifying these people is delusional

george17.bsky.social•37 days ago

But the FT et al always publish things that someone thinks is delusionist propaganda. I think the China cheerleaders op eds are too, but hey ho, a free press is what it is

kentindell.bsky.social•37 days ago

Bothsidesing long ago became invalid: You don’t bothsides insurrectionists.

loungeiguana.bsky.social•37 days ago

Agreed. You report ON these people, you don't pass them the mic.

The FT is just trolling for clicks.

jonathanhopkin.bsky.social•37 days ago

Exactly. What the fossil fuel lobbyists are saying is news, not opinion
