This is how authoritarian regimes dig themselves into the grave. They "discipline" people telling them the truth as they see it, instead of what they want to hear. It takes time, but eventually leads to military disaster and economic collapse.
Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Don’t talk about this a lot online but I published an academic book recently and I think it’s pretty good. Thinks with the categories of prophecy, apocalypse, & history to rethink the early euro Middle Ages. Would love to talk more about it! #medievalsky

Utmerket tekst!
Jeg skriver i @morgenbladet.no at staten har mye bedre råd enn det som hevdes i statsbudsjett og perspektivmelding.
Når man regner riktig, øker handlingsrommet i år med 10-gangeren. Vi har altså råd til å støtte Ukraina mer, øke nødhjelpen og gi noe skattekutt.

In a world where the US is turning into an authoritarian banana republic, Russia has wrecked its economy trying and failing to conquer its neighbor, and China is turning into a hyper-nationalistic totalitarian nightmare, it is surprising so many people are thinking that Europe is the failing one.

Asle Tojes hukommelse - og vårt historiske minne
I 2004 mailet Asle Toje med holocaustbenekteren David Irving, og ga ham moralsk støtte mot "politisk korrekthet". Ligger det en nøkkel her, til å forstå noe av det som nå er avdekket i Epstein-filene?

Canadisk villaks kommer tilbake når oppdrett fjernes! Herlig å se politikk virke!
Glad havforskerne er klare på at det samme kan være mulig i Norge også, selv om den politiske motstanden mot å ta grep mot oppdrett i åpne merder ikke akkurat er mindre her enn i Canada..

Canada stengde 47 lakseoppdrett – då kom villaksen tilbake
Kollapsen av villaksbestandar i Canada fekk regjeringa til å stenge ned oppdrettsanlegg. Ekspertane har liten tru på at Noreg vil gjere det same.
