This thread somehow got buried in my bookmarked items. I have worked in the field of policy support for more than 20 years, both as external contractor and as civil servant , and I think it raises a lot of interesting points.

Senior state department official Sarah Rogers travelled to European cities in December and has spoken to key figures in Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK party about deploying grants to spread ‘American values’. ft.trib.al/Kx8ta8a

This is one of the most elegantly written "academic" trade books that I've read in a long time and it puts forward an intriguing argument. The implicit baseline, as I understand it, is ``quiet politics'', with business prevailing most of the time, save www.bloomsbury.com/uk/billionai...

Population ageing places pressure on public finances, squeezing out funding for long-term endeavours
• Spending on seniors' health and pensions is rising across developed economies
• In turn, low productivity growth and decaying infrastructure fuel popular dissatisfaction

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!
- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!
