Fascinating new research paper asks: why did Biden receive so little political credit for his enormous investments in manufacturing? Turns out people give all the credit to governors (ironically, in this case, mostly red-state governors who were hostile to the policy!). https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2526802123

I wrote a thing about this sixteen years ago, for all the good it did
