More than 30 years ago, when an artsy women's clothing brand called Bluefish was the rage, I bought the perfect coat, a cozy, wine-colored wool blanket in motion with a smattering of hand-drawn patches as accents. If that coat had a passport, its pages would be stamped with images of faraway countries to which I flew wrapped snugly in my Bluefish cocoon and proceeded to be the most stylish woman at the opera or museum opening. Alas, a few years ago, the coat was looking a little frayed - I hate the expression "worse for wear" - and I found an identical coat in a lovely grey-blue for $300 on eBay, barely worn, and I snapped it up. But I can't let go of my original find - the Forever Coat of my dreams!

Terri McLemore Thank you for this response to Desantis' actions. I live in Florida -born and raised here from jim crow to now. Today Desantis introduced another one of his anti woke agendas. Today he has decided that he needs to cut diversity initiatives and to curtail tenure on college campuses. It saddens my heart to read many of the responses to Janai Nelson's column. I see where so many speak in a derogatory manner regarding the word woke. Conservatives have no idea what that word means but because a white racist man was able to grab that word and misinform people, now they are afraid that white people will be uncomfortable with the history of this country. No one asked my family about their feelingsregarding segregation and treatment as second class citizens when we were in school. We were taught both the good and the bad in the making of this idea we call democracy. We survived and we learned what was needed for ALL PEOPLE to make this a better country. I can assure you that white children will be okay. They will be like other kids from other races and ethnicites that we can all work together and that we have more in common than a lot of people want to deny. Let us all listen with an OPEN mind and you will be surprised as to what you will learn.Desantis is a bully and afraid of change. Thank you from a native born Floridian.

Maybe for the 'come latelies' this is a big storm, but for folks who have lived there, this is not something new.When El Nino dumps in the Sierras...THAT, is a snow Storm! In '82-83 the area near Squaw Valley got 800 inches! 'Dumps' of 4-6+ feet happened about about 2x a month...we were living like snow moles, mimicing the great snow storms of the early 20th century - you may have seen these in historical photos.Homeowners were shoveling 3-5 feet of snow off their roofs, to prevent total collapse!We always had a good hearty Laugh at those CA flatlanders, driving to Tahoe on I 80 in the 'rain' ties, with flakes like silver dollars, blotting out visibility.Remember, was it last winter when I 80 was closed and all the hip techies turned to their google maps and ended up on closed roads, in the boondocks? Like I 80 is closed and some 1 1/2 rural lane road, was going to be OPEN??? Hellarious!Of course, down in the flatlands, we've seen how folks THOUGHT they had 'amphibious' cars...Any idea how folks became so....lame? (BTW: Mt Baker in WA has the record of 1100 inches of snow....keeping the smaller Mt St Helens-like volcano, sleeping!) Winter is great, if you respect Mother Nature; soooo many havent a clue, putting 1st Responders, at great risk! And 4 wheel drive, CAN keep you going straight, at a CAUTIOUS speed...not good, on icy curves!!

From this point forward, when someone with MAGA and QAnon links (or even just regular old GOP ones, since the party seems to endorse this garbage) announces that he or she is running for office, the press should make a point of doing an exhaustive, deep dive into their background. Even a cursory glance at Santos's record would have raised a thousand alarm bells. Just as important is an investment in learning to undo errors and mistakes. We appear to have adopted a kind of Baton Death March attitude to politics. Once we start down a road, we seem to think it's impossible to turn back (This is equally true of the UK and its Brexit debacle). There is nothing written that says we can't and shouldn't remove him from office now that he's been exposed as a serial, PATHOLOGICAL liar. It's an understatement to say this degree of lying is not normal. There is something seriously, dangerously wrong with this man.Why are we so hellbent on normalizing the bizarre, the unethical, the immoral, illegal and depraved? It's high time this country made a conscious decision to treat lying during a campaign or in office as the serious offense and threat it is. It may not be criminal to lie, but those who lie often do so with criminal intent and deadly outcomes.

Nate : You're right that many women don't ask for more. However, I can tell you after 40 years as a woman in the workforce, producing exceptional, measurable results consistently, I have asked more than one employer for more compensation or even just a salary review and have been angrily rebuffed. The first time it happened, I looked for and got another job. The last time it happened, I needed to stay within the same organization to vest in important benefits. Tried to move to another job in that organization without success, probably due to age discrimination.I will retire soon and won't miss any of this. The only period of my life when I knew I was being fairly and equally compensated was when I worked for a professional services firm that had lockstep compensation for all associates with the same number of years of experience. It also had measurable performance goals, so it was rare and short-lived for any associates to stay if they weren't producing. OTOH, actually achieving partnership was a gauntlet of sexism and racism. As partnership wasn't my goal, I left when the work was no longer satisfying.

Michael Rabin You can patent a compound to protect against anyone else making it for sale and indicate some general utility indication for the compounds. Then some year later you patent the therapeutic method to treat disease xxx using the same drug specifically. Now, you are forbidding marketing the drug for this use and practically extend the exclusivity period for the combination drug + treatment. That is done in field other than healthcare, where R&D investments are large.

If Krugman truly believes that the newly armed IRS (87K strong) will only go after "wealthy tax cheats" he should support changing their rules to only audit those with incomes in excess of some figure - call it $500k. He might then get some buy-in for his partisan embrace of the execrable IRS. Till then - not so much.

NM Prof Every time I have tried to explain how Social Security is funded and paid out and pointed out that most beneficiaries get everything they paid into Social Security back in around 10 years, I get yelled at by all the people who think that their contributions are far more than they were and that their Social Security checks consist of their own contributions. I worked for Social Security. And I liked Molly Ivins and I love that idea. That would have been a wonderful idea. As a real life example: my grandfather died before his first Social Security check arrived in the mail. Over his working life, he paid around $70 in Social Security taxes (he died in 1951) and my grandmother then collected widow's benefits for 50 years. 600 checks- one every single month. That $70 my grandfather paid in Social Security tax was used up in the first YEAR she was collecting benefits. This idea could still work as a yearly statement mailed to beneficiaries- showing how much they paid in, how much they collected, how much was left of "their own money" and when they would begin collecting "other people's money". But people do not want to hear that and usually get quite violent and hostile when you show them the numbers. And call you a liar.

My goodness, why so many judgemental comments about the Gupta's house? Frankly, I admire the Guptas for generously sharing the photos & Sanjay's interview for this article. Three children, dogs, plus families visiting for possible extended stays would warrant plenty of space for this working couple. The house was designed for their specific needs, & works well for them. As for the kitchen colors, why not? A detriment when selling the house? Do you honestly believe that a buyer looking for a house of this size & price point is going to care about kitchen colors? This house is already 13 years old; when the Guptas sell it in a few years, a new owner will replace the kitchen completely. Be kind, people. It's actually easy.

The wait for an advance copy of “Spare,” the memoir for which Prince Harry reportedly received an advance of at least $20 million, felt longer than that of his father’s for the British throne.

Chris Oh please that is such a specious argument. Of course the top wage earners pay the most tax because they earn FAR MORE than the bottom 50%. Be that as it may however, many of those same top wage earners dodge paying what they really owe by parking much of their income offshore. You were right about one thing, there ARE plenty of places to cut spending, first and foremost...the obscene Defense budget, now at well over $800 Billion, more than the next nine countries combined.

As a very frequent traveler who spends roughly $40,000 a year on business travel, I would rather walk than fly American. They're even worse for business travelers than for personal trips, given their labyrinth of change fees, cancellation penalties, and exorbitant charges for seats which lack those traps. Business travelers like me don't plan our trips a year in advance. We often book late, or have to make changes on short notice. In the past I've changed some trips as many as five times before I finally can get on a plane. American takes great advantage of the passengers who want to change a flight, and don't get me started on the ridiculous wait times on their customer service phone lines. Like I said, I'd rather walk.

The times loves to write articles that paint invalid generational descriptions with broad, sloppy brush strokes. The author seems to forget that many millennials and members of Generation Z got laid off at the start of the pandemic. And that the last major downturn was one of the first things a millennial encountered when testing their professional credentials in the job market. A first layoff is an unpleasant surprise no matter which generation to which you were born into. It may be less shocking if you have encountered it before, but it is never a welcomed experience. For those impacted, take a beat, pick yourself back up, polish the online profiles and resumes, and get out there. There are tons of open jobs that are hiring. Speed is important as the best slots will be taken first.

Personally, I think monarchies are elitist. obsolete and need to be done away with.When King Edward VIII. abdicated the throne because he wanted to marry divorced American Wallis Simpson, Queen Elixabeth II's father King George VI paid them £25,000 a year ($1.4 million adjusted for inflation.) and they moved to France. Harry and Meghan who moved here to California and are working and supporting themselves, us saving the British millions in taxpayers money and as such should be seen as a positive. Again, monarchies are obsolete and need to be done away with.

Mark I have to disagree with you there Mark. Harry and Megan love the press. They can't get enough of it. Yes, at the beginning when Ms. Markel complained about how the paparazzies were hounding her and mistreating her in GB I sympathized with her. But man, ever since she got back to the states with her prince there isn't a day I open my news feed and they aren't on it whining incessantly about their "terrible, miserable" lives. They love the lime light like any other narcissist. There are billions of people on this planet who'd love to have the live they do, no matter the family dynamics. Being phenomenally rich even though they never really did a hard days work in their lives, having nannies taking care of their kids, having a roof over their heads, food to eat, going to bed every night knowing they and their loved ones are save because they have the money to live in save and luxurious places. If Harry and Megan really were so unhappy maybe they should go to therapy instead of talking to every possible news outlet trying to sell a story about their "miserable" lives.

Per the article, US global chip-making share slipped from 37% to 12% as Asian countries “provided incentives” to move manufacturing there. Also per the article, a $50B US government investment will raise the domestic manufacturing share from 12% to only 14%. Hmm. $50B for a 2% share is expensive.Supposedly, the $76B US CHIPS act will incentivize $200B in private funds to build US chip-making plants. Not bad for the companies involved, a safe 38% return on their investment. Note: Some of those are foreign companies.The article notes doubt over whether the current companies will build these factories to build the latest-model chips or older ones. Worse, technological advances over the 5-10 years that it will take to build these factories guarantee that, like nuclear power plants, they will be obsolete even before construction is completed.The basic model of US govt subsidies to private entities is financially irresponsible. Better alternatives would be either a US govt share of ownership or a US govt plant. We created the Tennessee Valley Authority to electrify the south, the Manhattan Project to build the A-bomb, govt corporations to dam the Colorado River, and NASA to get us into space. The wisdom of these projects aside, the US govt -can- do good, big things more fiscally responsibly than what the supposed advocates of "free enterprise" really want - fancy forms of taxpayer welfare to their private sector funders.Let's build US chips for -all- our benefit.

Paul Krugman and John TollefsonI, The GOP today is a largely a coalition of white racial and cultural conservative voters and wealth and corporate conservative funders and elites. It's probably academic at this point, but the roots of this go back to at least Nixon's Southern Strategy and Silent Majority and the Powell memo (all of which, as I recall, were also around the time when the Chicago School began to gain traction). I'd argue that the current GOP union of what Robert Reich called white supremacists and wealth supremacists is a long brewing conservative reaction to both the expansion of civil rights and civil liberties associated with the 1960's , and the New Deal regulatory state, exacerbated by demographic and economic changes. (BTW, it seems to me that PK, like Thomas Frank, minimizes the role that white racial resentment and identity/self-esteem play in cultural war politics. If this is correct, perhaps he can one day explain why.)

Religious beliefs do not (and should not) ''trump'' human rights.Furthermore, and based on the founding fathers' explicit views that there should be clear separation of church and state, this goes primarily AGAINST what the extremist and activist (conservative) Supreme Court is trying to do: minority rule. For decades upon decades now the right to extreme right (now just the extreme right) having been trying to eliminate rights. That could be reproductive rights, voting rights, marital rights and so on. However, now the court has a supermajority for their extremist conservative views. It is all about control. It is about a backlash to women trying for and achieving marginally control over their own bodies and affairs. It is about a backlash to the country becoming soon a majority minority country. It is the backlash to citizens wanting to love whomever they wish and marrying whomever they wish. It is backlash to a loss of control. The remedies are simple. Vote in people (Democrats vastly) that believe in true equality for all instead of just one kind. Have a super majority in place for when ANY judgeship becomes open. Eliminate the tax exemption status for ANY religious exemption. Resist and vote until the above becomes possible. Prey on your own dime.

It would also be the most expensive, costing an estimated $2.58 billion. That's just a starting figure. Costs always go up. It's 18 miles long, and it would go through a lot of wetland preserve. If tech companies want to get together and pay for that, since it's their employees who would be the vast majority of riders, fine, otherwise, forget it.

This is shameless greed on the part of AbbVie. Our patent system needs a broad overhaul so that companies can no longer engage in this kind of price gouging. There's a false argument floating around that if companies can't endlessly exploit the American market, they'll stop investing in new drugs. This is nonsense. Companies need to recover their costs and make a reasonable profit, as they do in every other market around the world. They don't need to make obscene profits on the American market.These drug companies are draining the Medicare trust fund and dramatically raising the costs to taxpayers of subsidizing employer-based insurance. Fortunately, the Biden administration passed the Inflation Reduction Act last year, which will allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time, beginning in 2025. However, the rollout of those negotiations will be slow (10 drugs will be negotiated in 2025, 15 the year after), and in the meantime Medicare will be covering any amount over $2,000 annually for Medicare recipients. Meanwhile, there's no relief for Americans enrolled in ACA plans, or for the American taxpayer paying for employer-provided insurance.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working in impact investing is experiencing the energy of brilliant, inspired people working to create real solutions to the world's most pressing problems.This article speaks a lot about hope - the difference between "hope" that comforts someone's ego and the hope that actually moves someone to take action.What they don't mention is how taking action today is actually more accessible than ever. You don't have to be a data scientist or the engineer that's constructing new salmon farms to be part of the solution. Knowing excellent impact exists, advocating for it, learning about it, and (if you're able to) moving money into it, are all ways to contribute to the profound growth that's shaping a healthier, sustainable world every day.IMO, supporting impact gives all of us the opportunity to be activists -- it gives all of us the ability to contribute to positive change. If you want to learn more, some of my favorite work is happening through Montcalm TCR, Aqua-Spark and Obvious Ventures (to start).

I quickly realized this article is satire, isn’t it? Here in NYC, I have come to strongly suspect that many of the new restaurants on the scene are merely vehicles for some illicit operation.

However, with super expensive menus, they are only opened for one service per night seating some ten to twenty diners, no lunch, breakfast, weeknights only.

Then thinking back around twenty years ago, there was a small restaurant on Indian Row, East 6th St., in the East Village. It struck me as odd it never had any customers. Then one day I happened to see a clip in the paper that the FBI had raided this little place as a money laundering front, and arrested its two owners, associates in the Columbo Crime Family.

Dave I could not disagree with you more.Representative Gallego is no Marxist cocktail waitress from the Bronx. He is a proud vet and a Harvard grad. Meaning: he can get a million-dollar/yr job at any Fortune 100 in a NY minute.He never peddled any Marxist slogans to tax every working American so he could give more welfare to the PRicans voters who voted for him. He didn't jump on every TV station promoting himself peddling open borders, abolishing ICE, and defunding the police.Lest we forget, Rep Gallego did not move out of his district-aka the Bronx ghetto- after he got elected.

Oriflamme , Well that is quite literary and well done. As a psychotherapist of 40 years of practice, now 83, I would add the developmental perspective that we all see through more windows than we knew were in our house - as we grow older. As the doctor generously shares with her readers that she is bringing new life into her world of previously no children, I am smiling at her good fortune and imagining the work, yes, but the joy ahead of her. She may in fact have "outgrown" her current practice of critical care patients and is ready to embrace a new chapter. What some call a mid-life crisis indeed may be a fortunate waking up to new views and pressing urges Not everyone gets blessed like this, or takes on a new open path when it appears. Only the very lucky. I wish her the best possible joys of parenthood. By the way, the comments this honest piece brought forth are just wonderfully honest in return - on a topic that needs to be talked about! Made my day.

With missile from Ukraine detonating in Poland but blamed on Russia to get Nato involved, (false flag, but called out by prudent Polish president) and now activity in Belarus, in attempt to draw them in, it's plain that Z. wants war to widen, directly involving the west in open battle rather than proxy war where Ukraine does most of the heavy lifting.

For the time (many & often) the grid is down, I’ve had this 10 kW Genset for about a year now and although I haven’t incorporated a full automatic set up with the switchover gear, and a $90 auto transfer switch etc., I do OK with pulling the main fuses and feeding power back into my home and having the noisy Genset as far removed as possible

Zach Bingo.Because the US can acquire capital at such extremely low rates, you do not want zero debt. [This assumes the GOP does not crater the US's financial credibility with its debt ceiling hijinks.]1. The important statistic is the debt ratio. US government debt as a percent of the value of US assets is less than 10% [per the Fed]. By way of comparison, Walmart's debt ratio is about 65%.2. Thus, if the deficit is growing at 2%, but the economy is growing at 2.3%, your 'debt profile' is getting better no worse. That is because your debt ratio is going down not up.There is much confusion about this including understanding the difference between 'debt' and 'deficits', a flow measure.

Food is mission creep. I just do not think companies need to create a perk that then requires managing what essentially is another industry. Suddenly you need kitchen managers, food procurement, line cooks. Then you need to watch out for health inspections. All this creates unnecessary corporate bureaucracy. It's bad enough with HR and diversity managers. And before you suggest outsourcing to Sodexo or Aramark or whatever: they will run you a FORTUNE, and trust the produce is not getting washed.I just think employers should get back to basics like individual offices (instead of open plan), comfortable chairs, multiple HD screens – i.e., stuff that actually helps workers do their job. As it pertains to lunch, give your employees an hour and let them figure it out on their own!

dark blue progressive here....Eliminate dark money from politics.Limit donations to private individuals and set an enforceable cap.Wealthy candidates (and their family) can spend as much as they want, but they can't "loan" their campaign money to be repaid by lobbyist after they are in office. Limit the public-financed campaign season to 6 weeks (8 weeks?, 4 weeks!!) with declining funds to those that start spending private money earlier (no advantage for the wealthy).National holiday for in person voting and allow 4 weeks for mail-in/drop-off voting. Prepare the mail-in/drop-off ballots for counting before the counting day. And EVERY vote must be on paper.

Kyrsten Sinema should not run for re-election. First, Ruben Gallego very likely would be a much better senator than she. Unlike Sinema, Gallego favors ending the filibuster, at least for voting rights and reproductive rights. It’s important to end the filibuster. Doing so most certainly would help the most vulnerable more so than if it’s not ended. It makes it harder for us to pass legislation on gun control (e.g., an assault weapons ban). It also makes it harder to pass voting rights legislation, including mail-in voting. Such voting helps people with disabilities vote.In addition, unlike Sinema, Gallego supports raising the minimum wage to $15, opposes tax loopholes for the wealthy and profitable corporations and favors allowing Medicare to negotiate all prescription drug prices. And, unlike Sinema, Gallego supported Build Back Better, which would have helped many vulnerable people, due, for example, to its provisions for universal pre-K and the expanded child tax-credit. The latter had reduced child poverty by 41%. Further, there is some reason to believe that if Sinema runs as an Independent in the general election, she could make it harder for Gallego to win. A recent poll had Gallego losing to Kari Lake by 1 point in a three-way race (in which Sinema runs) and had him beating Lake by 1 point if Sinema does not run.Gallego would be a vastly better senator than Lake. For one, unlike Lake, he recognizes that Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

' They rise like a wall from the ground to kill my soldiers.

Although the Pashtun are an ethnic plurality in Afghanistan a majority of Afghans live in Pakistan. But the Pashtun are only 15% of Pakistanis.Afghanistan didn't attack America on September 11, 2001.America's President of the United States didn't ask that Congress debate and declare to pay for war or peace in Afghanistan or not.Instead we got an open- ended Authorization for Use of Military Force paid for by off the book continuing resolutions.

The problem is the two party system. In a multi-party system, what we've just seen in the House would have taken place between the traditional GOP and the Crazy Right Party, the Libertarian Party, a gaggle of independents from around the country and even the Open Borders Party. If no coalition emerged then new elections would be called.What we have now are minority groups sheltering under the umbrella of the two main parties, exerting far too much influence and making them increasingly ungovernable.

Thank you, Maureen, for expressing my fears of such a dangerous, loathsome AI system. This is about Silicon Valley geeks running amok. It is the worst turn of techno-evolution since the early days of social media. Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook in his Harvard dormroom as a tool to judge coeds for their looks, their appetite for large quantities of alcohol, and of course, their "social skills." Welcome to "friending." My God! How did "friend" become a verb?!?Now we have those first reports of students turning in mysteriously clever essays setting off warnings throughout academia, and rightfully so. Microsoft, have you no shame?!?!With an appeal to the lazy and corrupt, I can only imagine how those kids will fail in the real world. But the bigger fear is how this will be used.As you adroitly noted, Maureen, this will be embraced by despots and depraved media to end civility and democracies everywhere. It will be used in all manner of crimes requiring clever communications to fool crime fighters at all levels. And, no fingerprints! At 78, I am neither a tech geek nor tech-illiterate. I use a computer all the time. I also spent most of my 45 year career in marketing communications — also known as the world's second-oldest profession. AI and, in particular, ChatGPT, is taking communications into a primoridal swamp replicating a world of Mad Max.

Oliver Stone went to Davos with the film " Nuclear, Now !". This is a much more probable route to decarbonization than anything the climatechange activists have ever suggested. We would have needed research and technology development for varieties of nuclear reactors beginning some 20 or more years ago. The so-called renewables - nobody could ever explain what and when anyting gets renewed - primarily wind and solar, are at system cost excessively expensive, since no windmill-investor/operator ever wanted to invest in back-up capacities for stable supply of power, nor into grids. They just suggested how " cheap " the generation was from the windmill. In Europe, inland windmills have efficieny coefficient of less than 20%, since the wind just does not blow all the time. The activists always argued and fooled the general public by using the nominal capacity of a windmill ( 100%) - and they still do.

Open carry is an implied threat. Concealed carry, in contrast, can be a deterrent in some sense, because a 200 lb guy swinging an all-metal Mac Book is also a deadly threat (why these are allowed as carry-on luggage in planes is a mystery). The law should reflect this.Speaking of deterrence, ANY gun is a deterrent, but a semi-automatic pistol or long gun is also a threat to a crowd and consistent with mass violence. Since the lethality of a semi-automatic is much closer to that of a (mostly banned) fully automatic than that of a revolver or bolt action rifle, there should be a pathway to end sales of semi-automatics and lower the terror-indicing effects of both concealed and openly-carried firearms.

Man, the factual errors in this article are a dead giveaway that someone went to Oslo, and paid no attention at all.1. Spikersupper is actually "spikersuppa". 2. Åpent is actually called "åpent bakeri". It literally means open bakery because they showed the behind of the bakery as part of their gimmick. The quality of åpent bakeri has also declined significantly in the past ten years. You're much better off buying a loaf of bread, butter and some Norwegian brown cheese in a supermarket. That will at least be a different experience.3. Oslo is much more than Edward Munch when it comes to art. Go the Astrup Fearnley museum instead for contemporary art, or head into any church for some amazing ceiling art.4. You write about public saunas without mentioning that you can buy fresh shrimp from the trawlers (yes, they cook them onboard) for a stupendously fresh seafood meal. Just head to Aker Brygge.I think I got some of my Norwegian-ness out of my system here. But basically, do not follow this guide if you want to have a good time in Oslo. Better to do your own research.

The irony is that the Brexit vote is remembered as being swung by a campaign bus with the statement “We send the EU £350 million a week, let’s fund our NHS instead” written on its side. Voters can be swayed by the most ridiculous lies.

So many jealous Federer and Nadal fans here trying to bring down the greatest men's tennis player of all time, all under the guise of "wokeness" and "vaccination compliance". His character might not be the greatest, but being the best tennis player has nothing to do with character. It is all about what happens on the court. 10 Australian Opens and 22 Grand Slams and counting, for all you jealous harpies out there....Game Set. Match.

All I keep thinking about is the over $500 billion we lose every year to legalized tax evasion (called "avoidance") by the ultra wealthy and corporations (tax havens anyone?) and what we could do with that money that we're owed.Then I think about all that money they pocket and how they'll be lauded for "saving" us through private companies that will charge us money to protect us from the devastation of climate change.Don't pay taxes (which are tax payers' ROI on the decades of tax payer funded R&D, court system, rule of law, defense etc etc etc that corporations and the ultra wealthy think should be freebies for them), start a company and make profits on hurricane relief, clean water, clean air!!We don't need to fund FEMA, we need to pay private companies instead (how else are they going to pay for their super yachts and space adventures!!)

Having been in the industry when it was exported to China, throwing money at it is not going to bring the industry back. Ending tax benefits for exporting our industrial base will. No one can point to a Reagan style tax program to encourage investment in p&e. But now we’ve lost an entire generation and a half of people who knew how to do it. Those of us who did are dying off. Maybe we can pay the Chinese to train their replacements the way we had to train ours.

Good question. The answer is that Johnson was at Davos last week, collects more than £100,0000 per speech, and still had to ask for an £800,000 loan. (So much for Tory “austerity.”)

It would be great news to see the FTC and Justice department finally grow some teeth and start to enforce laws and principles intended to prevent the type of market abuse and anti-competitive behavior that has driven a large portion of our society into despair, learned helplessness and dependence. How about also reforming the law courts so that a person or entity with money can't effectively silence those they've wronged with endless delay and mountains of frivolous paperwork? Or reign in copyright and patent abuse so that those same courts can't be used to bludgeon nascent competition into either selling or bankruptcy? Or maybe how about just not using our tax dollars again to prop up a stock market that feeds money and power directly into the same people and institutions who created the imbalances that necessitated the bailout in the first place? Most people aren't interested in more government offices or special boards set up to hold their hands while dictating what they are able to achieve. They want to be able to go out in the world and forge their own path without constant threat of getting robbed, blindsided or having your legs cut out from under you simply because you succeeded enough for somebody else to notice. We have most of the laws and institutions already to open up opportunities, relieve the sclerosis and reinvigorate life for a huge swath of people, it is time they were used as intended and taken out the pockets of those they were intended to regulate.

I wish winemakers and distributors here in the US did a better job with a very common practice in Europe: selling half bottles. Sure, there are usually 1-2 options of wine varieties (why may or may not be my preference) - but when pressed, the retailers claim they don’t sell. But is it a case of the chicken or the egg? Personally, I don’t drink enough to justify opening a good bottle of wine, so I revert to the canned cocktails if I just want something at home. Offer a few more selections of good wines, and I’d be glad to pay $15 -$20 for a smaller bottle.

SS This is funny stuff. Someone who is ABOUT to open a restaurant will absolutely, guaranteed, not be eligible for a loan to buy a multimillion dollar home for their new business. A bank might set up a loan for a new business that can already demonstrate liquid assets equal to or greater than the entire price of the real estate. Even with a track record of many profitable years in business, a restaurant will almost never be approved for a loan of any size to help the business grow. If the fridge breaks, you buy a new one with cash, if you have the cash. The end.

In the butcher case will be at least four packages of gorgeous NY Strip Steaks marked with a yellow sticker because they are coming close to their sell-by date. I grab one or two. I go home and vacu seal them one to a package. I have delicious steak for months to come at a bargain price. Scored a discounted tomahawk steak the same way.

Next, add: Sesame Seeds - 25g / 2 tbspSunflower Seeds - 25g / 2 tbspFlaked Almonds - 50g / 1/2 cupSultanas - 50g / 1/2 cupChopped Dates - 50g / 1/2 cupGradually stir in thick cut porridge oats/oatmeal - 225g / 8 ozTransfer mixture to a baking tin lined with parchment.

Place in an oven at 180degrees c, 350 degrees f or gas mark 4 for 10 - 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't get over done. Finally, leave to cool in the tin before you take them out and cut them.

Good afternoon, MD! 123 comments as I type this!It's Jeyn Levison's "Going Up" that resonated with me today. It reminded me of the phobias of friends, as well as some of my own.I have a fear of heights, although it shows up in some situations more so than others. For example, the bascule bridge in Lorain -- the 2nd largest in the world -- has metal grates through which you can see the Black River below. Walking over it as a kid, I always had to walk away from the outer rail for fear that some madness would overtake me and compel me to jump over the side.(I never jumped. I have survived.)In Nashville, I was often involved in putting on events at major hotels. Hotels with glass elevators that looked out into the wild blue yonder as the elevators ascended and descended. I found those elevators less frightening, because I figured that, unless the whole side of the building peeled away, I would make it to the top or the bottom.My friend and co-worker Melinda, on the other hand, was sure she WOULD die. Such was her fear of heights.So I would take her on training sessions. Back to the bank of elevators, up and down, up and down. She would hold my hand...and even open her eyes at times. And she lived.She lives in Texas now. I think she still avoids glass-sided elevators.Me? I cleaned out the gutters this past summer, up and down a 2-story ladder. And lived to tell the tale.Platelets today (which is why I was late getting to MD)!Hugs,Phil G

Money. That’s the answer to the question this article poses: Why do so many drivers and elected officials believe that highway expansion will solve congestion, ignoring evidence to the contrary? Decades of money spent on marketing, lobbying, and campaign contributions by the motor vehicle industry, now happy to embrace battery electric vehicle subsidies to help move the iron, and by highway construction firms. Money, and its pursuit in the form of public subsidies for private profit rather than public benefit, explains decades of failed and seemingly irrational beliefs and policies of otherwise sensible people. Money is the answer to these related questions, too: Why do transportation budgets favor private motor vehicles over public transit? Why do we subsidize massively oversized and overpowered battery electric SUVs, pickups, and cars? Why do we have tailpipe tunnel vision when it comes to the health, equity, and environmental harms of private motor vehicle dependence and growing expanses of heat- and flood-amplifying pavement we pay for to subsidize it? Why does Elon Musk deny that induced demand from highway construction is real, disparage public transit and its riders, and promise to solve congestion with his bogus, failed, Boring Company approach? Money. Follow the money. Ask who benefits.

Why does Elon Musk deny that induced demand from highway construction is real, disparage public transit and its riders, and promise to solve congestion with his bogus, failed, Boring Company approach? Money. Follow the money. Ask who benefits.\n",

It would be delicious justice if Kevin McCarthy was denied the Speaker position. The way he so debased himself in trying to get it, kissing Donald Trump’s behind, parroting his lies and bile, making concessions at every turn. He has no spine, integrity or self respect. Even many in his own party see this. I hope this opens the door to a moderate Republican official getting the position, someone who has an interest in trying to get things done for the country. Doing our government’s business will not be easy in this climate but the attempts must be made. And these attempts will have a far better chance without Kevin McCarthy in charge.

I wanted to finish this article, but I couldn’t. My vision is blurred by tears for the couples who earn $400k/year but still drive Camrys.

Before the media condemns them, the Republicans in congress have a legitimate concern that although they expanded the federal deficit with massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in 2017 the Biden administration is now leading the country in ways that benefit all Americans instead of just the .1 percent. Republicans are morally committed to wreaking havoc on the federal government so that it ceases to serve all Americans.

Dr. Krugman,Thanks for your topic, today. At least you're telling us we won't deconstruct overnight!But the idea that Jim Jordan will be leading a committee is nauseating.So, what will the next two years bring? I would like to think it will bring an "opportunity" for the Democrats to make their case for the need for social programs like childcare and free community college for our citizens to create the workforce we will need for the Chips Act and new manufacturing that will return home.It is an ideal time for Democrats to say investing in Chips for our economic and military security cannot happen unless we invest in our people, too, to meet these labor needs and that foreign workers cannot be the first resort for the workforce requirements of this industry when talent is abundant in America when it is tapped and nurtured.That's what Democrats could say to show that they will "work for" and "be" on the side of working class citizens and that also means strengthening social security.If they say that loud and clear and often and refrain from identity politics, they will win in '24. !!
