(He/him) No one engaged in cringe thinks of it as cringe. It is always profound and true.

I feel like the #wilsonhayesmatrix is like “capitalism dreaming of itself,” in that those who cite it tend to perceive real harms but stop short of asserting that the creation of such harms is an essential process for the system
The Wilson-Hayes Matrix, which describes the probable outcomes of policy initiatives. Text reproduced below: Table 2:1. The Four Box Static Model Widely Distributed Benefits x Widely Distributed Costs : Legislative Characteristics: This desired category of legislation tends to be undersupplied as constituents express too little pressure in support; alternatively when pressure is brought on both sides, legislatures sometimes delegate to avoid the resulting conflict. Illustrations: Desired legislative responses to various environmental crises, e.g., waste management or global warming; and national fiscal management, e.g., social security Narrowly Conferred Benefits x Widely Distributed Costs : Legislative Characteristics: Because small organized groups exert pressure disproportionately to numbers in political processes, legislatures tend to oversupply special interest legislation. Illustrations: Tariffs, industry subsidies. Widely Distributed Benefits x Narrowly Conferred Costs : Legislative Characteristics: Given the fear that factional violence (Madison Federalist No. 10), or interest group politicking (the modern equivalent), will disadvantage unpopular minori-ties, congressional processes include numerous features that tend to enlarge successful coalitions above minimum winning size. Illustrations: Rent control, national health care reform. Narrowly Conferred Benefits x Narrowly Conferred Costs : Legislative Characteristics: Because intense interests directly conflict, legislators prefer to delegate to agencies, hoping to shift blame for resulting failures while claiming credit for resulting successes; legislators can also benefit from simply threatening regulatory delegation and can benefit from monitoring agen-cies. Illustrations: The National Labor Relations Board.

Ah yes, famous physicist Hans-Benjamin Braun, AKA Twitter user Bеn68638515.

I’m trying to be nice. Consider deleting your post.
@Bеn68638515, a handle which sounds suspiciously like a disinfo throwaway, is not presently registered on Twitter.com and is unlikely to be or have ever been the account of one hans-benjamin braun
