Currently, it is hot here, Making the best use of it to ripen Camembert. A cheapo I bought last week from a well known German chain now tastes like it was plucked from the plate of an 18th century aristocrat seconds before the guillotine sliced his bread. Vive la France! And hooray for global […]

Any thoughts on this @paulcallaghan.bsky.social l, @tom-clark.bsky.social , @guardianheather.bsky.social , @jburnmurdoch.ft.com , @danneidle.bsky.social , @adamlbrown.bsky.social , @peterlevell.bsky.social? Most of what I read suggests tariffs are batshit crazy and doomed, but YV thinks otherwise.
Hey #Economics people! Just watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms5-.... Yanis Varoufakis argues that after tariffs are imposed EU & UK central banks will reduce interest rates to absorb the recessionary shock, weakening £/€ against $, offsetting the inflationary impact on US economy. Is he right? 1/2

I'm a guy who would rather see people getting along. I'm not up for all of this 'we hate' stuff. Everyone who is escalating that can fuck off. And then come back when they realise they were being dickheads - we still love you, dudes. #drunkpost #iloveeveryone

NEW PAPER: The 2022 fossil fuel price jumps caused an oil and gas profit explosion. We show the US reaped the largest profit increase (USD 275bn) of any country. Big Oil claims this benefits the American people. In fact, 51% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A 🧵

My view: if that tax treatment is aimed at achieving desired savings for pensioners, we shouldn't take it away by directing their investment [that will be the effect; lowering returns, increasing risk]. If the tax treatment is too generous, increase taxes.

Bluesky seems to be becoming more 'workey' as people jump ship from X. I have therefore decided to post more random stuff here so I clan keep my nose there clean-ish. I'm sure my millions of imaginary friends will be gutted.
