Yet almost nobody is surprised….
The smug complacency of a man whose entire career has been devoted to smug complacency, coarsening life, boasting of various pet hates & prejudices to a man known publicly by that point to be a sex offending predator of children, all sent lazing and lolling from a couch via iPad
Here's the full Summers email, btw.

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

The fact that a FIFTY year mortgage is even considered an option now should tell us everything we know about how well the financialization of housing has worked for most in this country. Why not 100? 150?

Another fact from our new G20 Report on Inequality, commissioned by President Ramaphosa:

One in four people globally (2.3 billion) face moderate or severe food insecurity, meaning they have to
regularly skip meals, which is up by 335 million since 2019.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Cars are essential in most of the U.S. They’re also increasingly unaffordable — NPR
The average new car costs $50,000. The average used car is $25,000. Insurance, repairs and maintenance are soaring. But America’s car-centric habits also cost us in more subtle ways.
