If you want to live in this gorgeous 4 bed/3 bath 3000 sq ft home and you promise to invite me over to visit, lmk and I’ll share the listing. $119,000 because it’s Northern Michigan. pic.twitter.com/x0KKC9irMn

Wow. You can get a lot in Northern Michigan for not a lot of money. But then, you are in Northern Michigan.
It's getting silly out there, folks https://t.co/fJ53vFZjUO

Cancel culture is fake! Don’t believe the evidence in front of your lyin’ eyes, believe instead those who want to cancel others and have the chance of taking their jobs.
The extent to which we face equity-efficiency tradeoffs is really overstated. A lot of the time we're sacrificing efficiency to maintain inequality pic.twitter.com/2NG6CSMTH0

Exactly. For example, even with supposed “inefficient” green power technology, when you take the externalities of fossil fuels into account it turns out green tech is always either a bit better or hugely better than fossil fuels.
There are hundreds of examples like this, by the way! Most of the time, as James points out, efficiency is traded off so we can make life worse for 90%+ of people.
