Maybe. But for many, the cost of rebuilding elsewhere (in time, attention, and uncertain payoff,) is higher than the declining marginal value of staying. Not sunk cost fallacy; just different (and perhaps rational) cost-benefit analysis.

Thrilled to learn we’re solving immigration by pouring billions into detaining the labor force we desperately need. Next up: subsidizing droughts to deal with water overuse.

So the Supreme Court clipped nationwide injunctions and now CASA is going for class certification to achieve the same effect. Clever lawyering, but also a sign of how policy is increasingly made through procedural end-runs rather than legislation.

Of course Twitter isn’t “the world.” But unlike curated safe havens, it at least offers a messy cross-section of it. If you’d prefer a filtered reality, that’s your choice, just don’t mistake it for virtue.
