Asshole of the Year

I have never understood why anyone pays any positive attention to Yglesias. At his best, his takes are liberal common sense. But no one pays attention to any of this except other pundit types who seem to forget that Yglesias rose to the top of the blogosphere based on being from Harvard and being early in the game and that’s it. Nearly two decades later and it’s just bullshit all the way down. So how does our beloved Beltway pundit respond to 20 dead kids and teachers? About the same way he responded to 1,138 dead Bangladeshis when I suggested there should be some accountability for the companies who killed them.
For all its very real problems, one shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the contemporary United States of America is one of the best places to live in all of human history and there’s a reason tons of people of all kinds from all around the world clamor to move here.
