    I never get why anybody cares about Liz Bruenig. Why does her opinion matter? Does she have more influence than other writers? Or is she like the Susan Serandon of the left?

      Doesn’t she put out NYT columns from time to time? If so that’s probably why she remains a bit more relevant. Her husband is also the Economic Policy Institute guy.

        I know she's written for the NYT, but she's a minor columnist. Matt Yglesias and Brett Stephens have way more undeserved clout and worse opinions, but Liz Bruenig gets more criticism.

        There's a reason she deletes her old tweets as a matter of course. It's because internet leftists like us have a hard time tolerating people we almost agree with.

          I think a lot of people disagree with her because she has weird reactionary takes and is not a socialist.

      not to sound like a MetaFilter lib but i think internet users are just weird about women and project a lot of expectations onto strangers who happen to be female
