@nntaleb Ban away, ban all fans, the US is heading in that direction. What a horror show. Go to the games in Canada and Mexico.

Some hotels are giving 60% discounts, so far.

BREAKING: The United States government will ban World Cup attendees if they fit the profile of being antisemitic after their social media is scanned.

@audowla @mattyglesias A well designed antitrust policy should contribute to efficiency and economic growth but will not control inflation.

@mattyglesias Lina Khan sparked that debate with her now-infamous law review article, The Amazon Paradox.

@awg_allan @VincentGeloso @serenelyjoyful Of course some would say writing skills are obsolete, since AI does it better. But, in the human brain, writing and thinking are tightly bound up, so when writing goes, thinking is next.

@awg_allan @VincentGeloso @serenelyjoyful Vincent. In class evaluations with no devices is all you have left. Agree with Allan, several in-class quizzes, and how about write a couple of 1000 word essays. Can also do this in a final exam. The essays force students to maintain writing skills, which many are likely losing.

@markgoldbridge It’s ridiculous to blame the ref and not the player

@jonfavs 55% of US Catholics voted for Trump. Real genius move insulting the Pope.
English

The Pope - the first American Pope, no less - isn't just the leader of the Catholic Church as an institution. His interpretation of Jesus's teachings represents the moral and spiritual foundation of the religion. The President just attacked him as weak and accused him of not caring about human lives - and the actual White House promoted it.
America's got more than 50 million Catholics.

@AlexKleeman Property taxes are progressive and they pay for local services. What’s not to like?

@VincentGeloso @JoshWright1977 Wonderful paper I agree. I used to teach it every year.

@acoyne Don’t forget that Iran was not in control of the Strait of Hormuz before the US and Israel attacked them.
English

So after all this:
- The Iranian regime remains in place
- The enriched uranium remains in place
- Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz, though it agrees to let ships through, for now
- The US agrees to talks based on Iran’s terms, including an end to all sanctions and Iran gets to charge $2 million a ship for passage through the Strait, in perpetuity.
- Meanwhile NATO is in ruins, the US and Israel are at odds, the Gulf States know they cannot depend on the US to protect them, etc etc etc

@jeanpire33 @anneapplebaum Stolen from Mark Carney, but still a good idea

Idée visionnaire d’Emmanuel Macron :
"Dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, je discerne une troisième voie.
Une voie qui réunit la Corée, l’Europe, le Canada, le Japon, l’Inde, le Brésil et l’Australie.
Il s’agit d’un format pour les pays qui ne souhaitent ni dépendre de la Chine ni se ranger automatiquement aux côtés des États-Unis.
Il s’agit de souveraineté, et non de soumission. "

@ojblanchard1 Yes this is why a system of government should prevent unchecked exercise of power by one person.
English

Let me clarify. Part of Trump is endogenous: Witness the rise of the autocrats, and populist parties, around the world. When Trump is gone, those forces will still be present. But I would still argue that much of what he does is idiosyncratic, that the R2 of his behavior on whatever factors you can think of is low. My argument was about the lasting effects of the idiosyncratic part.

It's funny when a researcher concludes that his research is important, and maybe not other things. But saying Trump is hysteretic is a wrong lens. It is like saying there wasn't structural reason with post90s world system and gorbachev or yeltsin were noise.
English
@anneapplebaum That is a striking similarity. Wrong in both cases.
