Lol, well he is not necessarily wrong on his second point, but the dude is a hypocrite. Too bad he can't see the irony of his statement. He should read his first point and go somewhere else.

He's right that the market is not everything and must be regulated. When it comes to crap like usury laws and payday loans, I agree with Reich. But appropriating media companies to stifle dissent isn't regulation, it's oppression. Isn't that basically what he's suggesting at the end there? How else might I read that last tweet?

That's how I read his first tweet, and the second is him complaining that his own ideology bit him in the ass. Complaining that there is "no where else to go" despite banning others from Twitter saying that they can "just go somewhere else".
