Amerikanske politologer er - forståeligt - i alarm.
Der sker voldsomme ting i det amerikanske demokrati i disse dage, og det rækker langt langt videre end toldmure.
Politiske fyringer, forsøg på at overtage budgetmæssig kontrol og massiv datahøst af private info.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101!
They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs.
Tariffs raise prices, but the more important thing they do is disrupt supply relationships.

This is an amazing paper.
Physical injuries induce workers to pursue higher ed retraining --> they end up earning more than they were pre-injury.
Bottom line: Not enough mid-career workers realize they should be re-skilling.
(Feels a little like the Leavitt coin flip paper on status quo bias.)
