Thread about a figurehead who inspired welfare reform in the 90s

I started seething and tweeting and then realized this was from last year. 🙃 Anyone know what happened with this? Do the editors still have jobs? etc.

@JoHenrich @TriversRobert FYI. Interesting kerfuffle -- both for subject matter and for demands for censorship rather than measured rebuttal -- in backyards near yours?

I mean, that abstract paints with an extremely broad brush and makes some assumptions I think are dubious, to put it mildly. But I'd at least want to take a look at the data.
