Economist DT Cochrane on removing the excise tax on gas: "[O&G] companies have a pretty strong degree of pricing power. That gives them the ability to claim the elimination of that excise tax. The fact we didn't see a drop in the price at the pump suggests that that's what they did."

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israeli soldiers are looting civilian homes in southern Lebanon. Haaretz, an Israeli outlet, reported it based on testimony from the soldiers themselves. Regular and reserve troops are looting civilian homes and businesses in southern Lebanon at scale. TVs, motorcycles, sofas, carpets, paintings, loaded openly onto vehicles as they leave. They don’t even attempt to hide it. Commanders know, but most look the other way. The military police checkpoints set up to stop it have been quietly removed. One soldier's explanation: "What does it matter if I take it? It's going to be destroyed anyway." The harshest witnesses here aren't Lebanon or human rights groups. They're Israeli soldiers and that should tell you a lot.
