    Interesting point about economic incentives I hadn't considered: Companies don't really need to ask any more for the most important info they need re: labor, infrastructure, education, etc.

    Great article in The Upshot on the correspondence by David Himmelstein, Steffie Woolhandler, & about my recent NEJM paper Thread with some additional thoughts... [Speaking for myself & not necessarily for my co-authors!]

    The results were not as good for Democrats as the special congressional elections over the last year. But they’re consistent with recent so-called wave elections, like those in 2006 or 2010.
