So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Coupling and Fertility are Falling.

In Finland, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey and the US, both are going down.

Superb column by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social

A must-read for anyone interested in why fertility is falling, and how to respond.

Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

“Ordinarily I would say that while tariffs are bad, they don’t cause recessions,” Paul Krugman says on this episode of “The Ezra Klein Show.” “What’s unique about this situation is that the protectionism is unpredictable and unstable. And it’s that uncertainty that is the recessionary force.”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The illustration depicts a person wearing a graduation cap throwing the "X" logo into a trash bin. Nearby, a blue bird lies on the ground with X-shaped eyes, symbolizing its demise. The scene is set in a simple, grassy landscape under a cloudy sky, metaphorically representing the abandonment of X (formerly Twitter).
