The funny thing about this corporatist fascism of the US is that the US economy desperately needs immigration to sustain its endless growth in the face of rightfully declining birth rates.

McNutt's understanding and communication of "soft science" leads to head scratching and is suggestive of how some "hard" scientists fail at #SciComm.
For example, her 2014 OPED re #KeystoneXL demonstrated a total failure to understand the #DismalScience. getenergysmartnow.com/2014/02/23/d...

The delusion of Homo Economicus creates great problems in the #DismalScience that translates too often into govt policy.
However, should flat charges be kept in place to make kilowatt hours cheaper for people who can't be bothered to lower use during peak periods?
