(Almost) needless to say, the US cannot replace income taxes with tariffs. Goods imports are dwarfed by household and corporate income, making a wholesale substitution of one for the other a fiscal impossibility:
It's good, right? 😀
Amazing!
What happens when weaponized interdependence meets neo-royalism...this interview? And somehow I got a goatee...

I think that's technically a "soul patch", Abe, but as I look at the illustration, it's kind of growing on me. Maybe you should try this out, start a rock band on the side or something.
(Congrats on the piece, btw!)
Faculty meeting faces are the best. In our dept, no one compares to @sgadarian.bsky.social whose "that's BS" face is unmistakable😀
One path forward would be dedicated, staffed AI-free reading/writing labs: inviting spaces with no wifi access or proctored use of laptops which students are required to attend throughout the term to work on longer-term assignments.
Spent half an hour talking with Tommy Tucker of WWL First News about the 4th anniversary of the Russo-Ukraine War, where things stand, how Putin stays in power, and more. Had enough of a conversation that I got to break down "collective action problems" and "personalist dictatorship" along the way.
Wow, good for you, blazing a trail for the rest of us. It's an uphill climb, for sure, given what you lay out. But I suspect there would be a lot of faculty that could get behind this.
I hope the grant is funded. If it is, I will eagerly await your conclusions.
This @supolisci.bsky.social alum does great work on international security/nuclear weapons and if you’re into that sort of thing you should definitely give him a follow.
love that idea. We do this for PhD field exams. For smaller classes, at least, this could work. Is it scalable to a large class?? Maybe there are ways?
A depressing piece, but also a must read. Regulators and companies must do better. Men have to do better.
Gen X cultural reference for the win, dawg.

FX reserve accumulation was a major force in global markets from the Asian Financial Crisis through to the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. But net acquisition volumes have since fallen off dramatically, making discussions of "reserve currency" status much less relevant:
Pleased to announce publication of the fifth edition of states versus markets
www.bloomsbury.com/us/states-ve...
The book is now old enough to drink in the USA but of course I have significantly updated it with each new edition. Buy a copy for Mother's Day or the holiday of your choice!
I want to frame this post, Mark.

It was only a "historic correction" for those who got in between January 19 and January 29. For everyone else, there was no correction.
"Dad, what was it like to watch Bob Costas, Marv Albert, Hannah Storm, and the entire 1990s NBA on NBC team?"
LOVE that example.
Totally agree. I also add, having flown high performance aircraft, that all systems fail, with 100% certainty, at some point.
Resilience requires the ability to anticipate failures, recognize when they occur, pivot flexibly around them, and deconstruct how they occurred to prevent future problems.
I tell my students that one of the main reasons not to over-rely on AI for research/writing is because--at some point in the future--you're going to have a face-to-face conversation with someone who matters, and if you don't actually know some things, that interaction will not go well for you.
We all agree that when the inevitable movie about the early days of AI is made in ten years or so, Matthew Rhys is automatically slotted into the Dario Amodei role, right?
Cheers to you, Matt, on this new chapter!
