Cass received a B.A. in political economy from Williams College,[5] and was then hired as an associate consultant at Bain & Company.[1] After working at Bain for several years in the firm's offices in Boston and New Delhi,[5] Cass "took a six-month leave to work on Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination".[1] Cass then enrolled in Harvard Law School "to deepen his understanding of public policy", stating of the experience that "law school is a lot of fun if you’re not there to be a lawyer".[1] Cass "caught the attention of Romney's staff while still in law school and was tapped as domestic policy adviser for the candidate's presidential campaign in 2011":[2][1][5]
He worked for the next Romney operation in 2011 between his second and third years at Harvard, and ended up with so much in his portfolio that at the end of the summer "they sort of said, well, you have to stay". He became domestic-policy director while still in law school.[1]
Following the 2012 election, Cass returned to Bain, where he became a manager, but also "started writing on environmental and labor policy for National Review.[1] Senator Marco Rubio credited Cass for the poverty-fighting plan Rubio released in 2014.[2][6] From this work, he was brought on as a senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute in 2015. Also in 2015, Politico named Cass number 35 on its list of the top 50 "thinkers, doers and visionaries transforming American politics in 2015".[2]

And, lastly, this thread about survivalist cosplaying:
so my eldest brother, who is a moron, has been playing soldier with his moron friends in the deserts of texas for the last year preparing for the collapse of civilization if biden won (lol). they were burying food and ammo stashes out in the desert, running drills, crazy stuff— Jean-Michel Connard (@torriangray) February 16, 2021

Dude. I'm not to any degree a survivalist but I was a cub scout so I'm pretty sure I'm one up on these dorks. If you're a self-proclaimed survivalist and don't know how to make a goddamn fire you deserve to eat garbage, sorry that's just how I feel.

Also another facet of conservatism seen over the past several days wrt the GOP senators who voted to convict Trump: if you shift half a degree out of lockstep with your compatriots, prepare to be eaten alive by your compatriots.

(But only if they know how to make a fire, so you might not have much to worry about.)

I have this little credit card-sized metal multitool thing in my wallet which I just confirmed has a rudimentary can opener so I am more prepared for survival just sitting on my ass than some weekend warrior doomsday preppers are.

if it goes bad you cant just put it in the snow after and make it go "unbad." they would have had to have unloaded the whole fridge and dumped it outside as soon as the power went out.— sli me :o) (@ssslimeslime) February 17, 2021

I refuse to delve into it with these people but I will note that for produce and things that don't freeze well, putting them outside may not be an option but if your house is 40 degrees you could just...leave the fridge door open?
It does get weird when your fridge is WARMER than the air outside and things in the fridge start to freeze.

I think some fridges that aren't well insulated heated up before indoor temps dropped enough.

If you are a so-called survivalist and don't carry a P38 or know where yours are located at any given time, then you are not a survivalist, but a conservative suburban asshole with too much money and too many guns.
