Is chaos the new norm for economic stability? Paul Krugman highlights the alarming governance under President Trump as a considerable threat to the U.S. economy. As he critiques the reckless implementation of tariffs and ineffective policies, confidence in the dollar wanes, leading to uncertainty in investments and trade. The consequences of this chaotic approach are bound to be severe.

Should central banks rethink their over-reliance on Bayesian forecasting modelss, or are these failures just a matter of poor implementation?

Yeah, but the super rich oligarchs won't like it! We, The People would really see our lives improve. Every billionaire is a policy failure.

„Joe Biden was wrong.
His bear hug has been one the biggest foreign policy mistakes in modern American history. It did not give Biden or the US leverage in private. Again and again, Netanyahu ignored Biden’s pleas to change policy. Red lines were drawn that Israel could not cross. Israel crossed them and faced no consequences.“
The violent response to #BrianThompson, a CEO who profits obscenely from the torment and suffering of millions of customers.
It didn't need to happen. Those CEOs have had plenty of warning that oppressed people will be pushed only so far before seeking a violent response.
The title short story from collection _Radicalized_, by @pluralistic, details how people are corralled by the physical suffering of family members, exploited by an insurance industry deliberately designed to extract wealth while denying health care, and finally resort to violent terrorism in the absence of any other effective option.
CEOs have had this, and for decades many other, warnings that they must stop the ghoulish practice of denying health care to those who need it, while extracting wealth. A reckoning is coming.

Funny how the business association endorsing a candidate matches up with them talking about cops and "accidents" in the BikeLoud Q&A responses. It's almost like the PBA's thumb on the scale for #carSupremacy is somehow responsible for #Vision60or70something deaths on our streets. #VisionZero #PolicyFailure #CrashNotAccident #BanCars #ACAB #bollards

„The United States, the European Union and the Arab states that signed the Abraham Accords with Israel have proved incapable of preventing the disaster when they could at least have limited its scale, writes Gilles Paris in his column.“
Australia's population has surpassed 27 million, but policies over the past decade have failed to meet housing demands, an expert warns. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a 2.3% national population increase to 27.1 million by March, with net overseas migration accounting for 83% of the 615,300 people added last year.

RT @walkbikenow Hey NYC DOT we don’t want these curb cuts replaced as they were. We want curb extensions to reduce traffic violence. This is a #PolicyFailure. Please Queens CB6 and @lynn4nyc help us move in the right direction on this. Thanks!
just to be clear:
if you read the whole interview, i hope one of your takeaways is that this bombing of #Gaza is a #policyFailure for the state of #Israel.
what policy you may ask?
Ehud Olmert says it right there, as plain as day:
"the only possible way to guarantee our future is to make an effort for a two-state solution, to pull out from the territories, and to have a smaller state."
Ben Gvir, the guy rubber-stamping the bombings, is the face of that policy failure.
#Portland schools suffering the ineptitude of ted wheeler, episode 5693: sending 600 high-schoolers 11 miles (a 1hr bus ride) across town because the [checks notes...] SCHOOL building across the street has a different specific designation in the zoning database. Hello #transportation #policyFailure, #BusDriverShortage, #pdxTraffic good luck with that extra 500 cars on the road, apologies to 100 future inmates etc.
The president, long a champion of #gunsafety, needs to move quickly to fix this #policyfailure.
The number of semi-automatic #firearms #exported from the US has more than doubled since 2016... generated #bigprofits for the #gunindustry — while causing #mayhem throughout the region, including at the US-Mexico #border.

Hey, world. Just so you know, #H5N1 has mutated on Finnish fur farms to spread between mammals. #Finland will not stop the practice of farming mink, fox in steel cages etc despite this. This should not be a surprise, since we value neither animal nor human life. Feel free to apply pressure.
