📢 I've written the @financialtimes.com Free Lunch newsletter today on the rise of populism & its economic implications 📢

No surprise: populism makes for very bad economics, with clear negative impacts regardless of whether it is left-wing or right wing variety

Yksi väritön ääni pimeässä
pehmeä, matava kosteus nilkkoja
sammal kasvoja

Kuin kotonaan metsässä
aarnioiden sankari
mättäiden herra

Kohtasi voittajansa lopulta
kaatui marginaaliveroon.

This bill is an act of war by the billionaires and their white nationalist allies against the people of the United States.

It will take health care from millions of people to fund tax cut for billionaires, secret police to arrest the President’s critics, and concentration camps.

It’s fascism.

Ketju vähemmän tunnettuista tilastoista Suomesta, vertailukohtana muut pohjoismaat.🧵

Aloitetaan verotuksen tasosta. Verotulot suhteessa BKT on Suomessa pohjoismaiden alhaisimmat. Tämä ei sisällä esim. eläkemaksuja ja muita sosiaalivakuutusmaksuja. 1/

Shifting the tax burden from the wealthiest 1% to the middle class has been a long-term GOP objective.

It is difficult to convey how monumentally idiotic Trump’s tariffs are.

Allow me to try.

Let’s begin with Adam Smith.

In the 200 years prior to Smith’s 1776 “Wealth of Nations” Mercantilism was the dominant view of trade.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

The entire thread is like this, nazis asking for a summary of their posts, the AI says "Well it sure as shit looks like you're a nazi", then they argue with each response and it just goes into more detail why they're nazis

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.

Alvar Aallon päivänä tahdon nostaa esiin viisauden, jonka hän on maailmalle tarjoillut:

”Kaunista on se, mikä vanhenee kauniisti.”❤️

Voidaan muotoilla maailmaa kauniimmaksi myös arjen pienissä kohtaamisissa🥰 Sellaisia sullekin.

I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/
