The Anti-Promethean Backlash(es)
Thoughts on its source(s), from Virginia Postrel.
One of the irritating things about the immigration debate is the conflation of opposition to immigration per se, and opposition to the unrestricted flooding of the country with people who have been completely unvetted, and many of whom are coming not for American opportunity but rather government handouts, and many of whom hate America (e.g., Somalians in Minnesota).

I remember the Chicago event. It’s interesting that some aircraft get their lives extended forever (e.g., the B-52 and the 737) and others age out.

Orion
I’m not sure — he’s sometimes subtle — but one gets the impression that he doesn’t like it.
