I have great respect for Economists,
Many of my best friends are Economists,
But..
Many continue to assume that agents are maximising utility *on earth*
The world is mostly religious, so our models should reflect this reality

Trump’s actions reflect a wider ideological rupture
The US right has significantly diverged from European values
Less into cooperation, more authoritarian

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.
