I agree - that’s what made it so powerful for me. It put the awful dilemmas in a familiar context.

“Where is everybody?” the prof asked as we set off on our Sunday walk in darkness at 0730.., #sophiefromromania and I said nothing, just got on with it, then home for a #bigbreakfast

You need a licence if you watch pretty much anything in the UK anyway. It's not just if you watch the BBC. www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you...

It’s taken me literally 15 minutes and 3 remote controls (with @rorycj.bsky.social on the end of the phone trying to keep me calm and talk me down) to turn on a movie on the TV - is our setup uniquely complicated?

I don’t think the manufacturing vs services distinction is at all helpful now. There are too many odd measurement artefacts, & anyway high value manufacturing is melded with services both as inputs and part of output.

🦊 A Londres, 10 000 renards trottent toutes les nuits dans les rues. Devenus emblèmes de la ville, où ils font perdurer une once de vie sauvage, ces animaux suscitent autant d’attachement que d’agacement.

Retired to bed early to read and find #sophiefromromania has commandeered my book. I don’t like to tell her she has it upside down.

“Economics brings a toughness of thought to policy making,through insisting on thinking about opportunity costs, the balance of costs and benefits, and the likelihood that people will respond to incentives”
