Literal nightmare fuel as former NY Fed economist
Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts
Hassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."

Adopting slower-growing breeds of chicken would reduce animal suffering significantly
Fast growth rates result in significant pain and suffering for chickens. Selecting slower-growing breeds would reduce some of this suffering.

As you can see in the chart, chickens today are much bigger than in the past. And they are much more "efficient" at converting feed into meat.
This push for increased efficiency has increased the time and intensity each chicken spends in pain.

I've twice recently come across policy-oriented pieces with initialisms in the title.
I think it almost never makes sense, unless you *purposely* want to restrict your audience to the group that uses that initialism so frequently that it's natural.
