Policy implications:

Curbing high oil & gas profits could reduce income inequality in times of high energy-induced inflation.

If I find myself in a databases classroom again, I’m seriously considering adding a lecture unit on the concept of reification, and how database designs reify social and organizational schemas generally, rather than leaving it latent in a couple example topics.

Há um erro conceitual numa referência repetidamente feita pela imprensa ao tratar das assinaturas do pedido de urgência para votação da Lei da Impunidade (vulga anistia).
Tem-se dito que "deputados da base do governo" assinaram o pedido de urgência.

Há 15 anos, o gestor público, pra fazer a política pública andar, gastava energia com planejamento, compreendendo as demandas, disponibilidade de caixa e o ambiente político mais ou menos favorável.

For a while now, folks have talked about how the world is shifting from a unipolar to a multipolar order. But I think we should seriously entertain a different possibility, at least for the near term. 1/
