„Allez Kylian!“ Streets will never forget how passionate Emmanuel Macron was cheering for France at the 2022 World Cup. Now imagine them actually winning it this year - and Donald Trump having to hand over the trophy 😂

@Montreal Ripples (And I just cannot understand why all of the ice cream places in Montreal are closed during the colder months).

@ericnapoli @martinvars If your combined household income is $200,000, you can rule out financial aid of any sort and $200,000 is far from ultra rich.

@martinvars Only suckers and ultra rich pay full price. Everyone else has some scholarship money, financial aid or loans, which are all big businesses in and of themselves

The business model of US universities. First, restrict supply and make degrees unaffordable for most. Second, receive inordinate amounts of money from students for classes with one professor and 100 students. Make huge profits from teaching. Third, squander most of the money you made overcharging students in useless bureaucracy. Fourth claim you are a poor university that needs help to survive and beg from alumni who are already drowning in decades of student debt.

@martinvars This is spot on, except it is 300 students per class now, not 100.

Best view of the damage to the Kerch Bridge so far. The bridge was constructed after Putin's annexation of Crimea, connecting it to Russia. Although unclear if this is the only damaged section.

@ronlieber @ptullis The schools that offer degrees that have any value whatsoever (the top 10 or 15 schools) are absolutely buyers and don't need to sell anything, unfortunately

@ptullis Applicants are not supplicants. And more schools are sellers than buyers. So yes, I think a groundswell of college shoppers asking better questions can move the needle.

Can we please, finally, tell people what they'll pay for college before making them apply and wait for months for a price quote? My column, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on race-conscious admission. nytimes.com/2023/06/29/you…

@DionRabouin These arguments are specious. Higher wages, deceasing inequality and increased savings for middle income families are going to be more seriously lost if the Fed doesn't continue to act decisively to reign in inflation.

And I'm really quite flabbergasted that barely two years removed from making a huge mistake that led very directly to a huge problem that they're currently trying to solve, they would again just ignore their critics. So, I made a video about it. Fin. youtu.be/w0_T79Rgh04

So, here's the thinking behind this video about the Fed ignoring its critics: Since the "transitory" fiasco just about everyone on the Fed, with the notable exception of the chairman, has admitted they personally got it wrong. They have generally done ... youtu.be/w0_T79Rgh04

Debt ceiling debate is also good reminder that it’s irresponsible for financial regulators to treat sovereign debt as risk-free
