Another year, another Nobel Prize-winner in economics whose work concerns how governments around the world should approach the transition to clean energy.

Here's @zeitlin.bsky.social on Philippe Aghion — and his low-key difference of opinion with William Nordhaus:

Economist Philippe Aghion views carbon taxes as a tool to decarbonize, but not a solution in themselves.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

He's either the most incompetent and underqualified Speaker of the House, or lying.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Make America the Greatest Depression Again.

The Frito Bandito @thefritobanditoo.bsky.social · 2d

We are in a recession, by the way. A bad one. Prices are way up. People can't find jobs.

I am plugged into this in a very real way. The stock market is just not important unless you are in the top 10%/1%.

I have not seen a labor market this bad since 2008. The 2nd Great Depression is coming.

What if we all used burners then? Keep it old school. No apps. No smartphones. Just run of the mill 90s style phones.

Tech companies would lose their shit. The big data tech industry would collapse. Thiel, Musk, All in Pod bros would lose billions. I like that idea.
