The picture that’s emerging suggests there are systemic issues with air traffic safety. I hope this tragedy will result in the necessary systemic changes and not simply a bandaid over whatever specific circumstances it’s eventually determined led to this precise incident.

Can anyone recommend some great (undergrad friendly) readings on climate change politics in autocracies and/or the global south? Self-promotions always welcome!

Twice this week I’ve read econ papers that had the same findings as prior polisci publications yet failed to cite that work. One used the exact same data. If you’re an economist writing on polisci topics, maybe read the literature before claiming no one has looked at this?

If the S&P 500 closes tomorrow where futures are right now, it will be the biggest three-day selloff in 38 years, a faster drop than any during either the global financial crisis in 2008 or the Covid-19 panic in March 2020.

Gulp. Me: How much would a $100 pair of sneakers made in China or Vietnam cost if made in the U.S.? Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America’s Matt Priest: “$300 or $400 easily. In fact, we've even just looked at the tariffs coming into place tonight at midnight, a $150 pair of running shoes will be $230.”

This is horrific. This individual was deported by mistake. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled the administration must facilitate his return yet they won’t do it. This truly shocks the conscience. Republican or Democrat we should all be appalled.

So we’re cutting off imports, kneecapping scientific discovery, halting funding of green infrastructure, reducing the immigrant workforce, battering tourism, and undermining the US dollar. So happy we’re making America great again.

A powerful illustration of why cutting funds to top universities cripples America and makes everyone in this country (and around the world) worse off.
