so many people tweeting "how are 40 million Americans on food stamps"

the supplemental poverty rate is ~12% and there are ~350 million people here, do the math

why does nobody google even the most basic facts about reality man
With all due respect, when did the US ever
"lead the charge" on confronting climate change, even rhetorically, let alone in terms of actual energy policy?
On Monday, @adamtooze.bsky.social will give the inaugural 𝘓𝘙𝘉 Autumn Lecture at the New School in New York, on the subject of ‘Electrostates, Petrostates and the New Cold War’.

"As Trump abdicates U.S. leadership on climate change, Asia is filling the void" | New op-ed by Benjamin Horton & myself for the @sfchronicle.com: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
As Trump abdicates U.S. leadership on climate change, Asia is filling the void
OPINION: The U.S. once led the charge in confronting the planet’s most pressing challenges. But today, that leadership is eroding. Nowhere is this loss more visible than in climate science.

Thinking about the "shape" of the world economy in the 21st century, my mind turned to soup (some may say that happened long ago ;). Check out the latest Chartbook newsletter. tinyurl.com/bdvw24d3

“Why not try imagining the future shape of the world economy neither as a neat assemblage of robust bricks, nor as a mesh of interlocking balance sheets, but as something more akin to a lumpy potage, or a noodle and dumpling soup.” @adamtooze.bsky.social
