I am -not- in academia (so I can’t upvote), but this makes me somehow feel kinda better about myself.
Please tell me that, idk, “thoughtful” people need more time to review things (carefully), or something, and that explains this fault... Right? Hello? Is this thing on?
If Zucman is a fan, this is great news indeed. A 25% minimum tax on billionaire wealth sounds great, and with broad support, as the article notes (even 51% of Republicans).
Much better news, too, for those of us who only saw this part reported on til now:
The campaign spokesperson called the move—which would still leave the corporate tax rate lower than it was when Trump first took office in 2017—a "fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share." (emphasis mine)
IIRC, the corporate tax rate was slashed by Trump from 30-something percent, maybe 35%, to something like 18%, so to see that Harris was not interested in reversing this Trump tax cut fully (only to 25%) felt til now like yet another depressing instance of the ratchet effect, where the right does what they do, and neoliberals only undo part of it when they are in power.
Is it me or is there something very facile and dull about Gartner charts? Thinking especially about the “””magic””” quadrants one (wow, you ranked competitors in some area along TWO axes!), but even this chart feels like such a mundane observation that it seems like frankly undeserved advertising for Gartner, again, given how little it actually says.
Lmao, Silver is equating a Walz pick to a TIM KAINE pick.
I’m sorry, I can’t read any further with sooo much cope.
You applied to work at AT&T.

GIMP is fucking awesome what are you on about
I want her to listen to climate experts

You lost me.
Economics is just political economy somehow supposedly divorced from politics.
The economics Nobel prize is not even a “real” Nobel prize. No kidding, look it up.
Holy shit that’s a good fucking bumper sticker.
I kind of can’t stand Biden, in spite of the many surprisingly good things he’s done in the last few years.
But god damn if this isn’t the kind of action from Meta that can only help Trump.
I am sorry to feel that this decision from Meta has much more to do with certain ongoing wars and preferred candidates than any “EU legislation.”
Meta wants Trump. Meta wants fascism.
U have to be get praganat
May be unpopular but congrats to all 7 of them
