Corriere.it - Homepage: I dazi a un anno dal «Liberation Day»: cosa è cambiato per l’economia Usa e cosa dicono i numeri

Rungi, economista della Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca: «Per il momento la manifattura ha tenuto ma ci sono fosche nubi all’orizzonte. I dati di Standard & Poors ci indicano che c’è un picco nelle domande di fallimento»

One year since the “Liberation Day”: what has changed for the US economy and what do the numbers say?

Rungi, an economist at the IMT Alti Studi Lucca School: “So far, manufacturing has held up, but there are dark clouds on the horizon. The data from Standard & Poor’s indicates a peak in bankruptcy applications.”

Because I know Anthony Albanese reads my toots:

If you increase centrelink payments, like jobseeker, you'll inject all that extra money straight into the economy.. because no unemployed person is saving—we spend everything we get to try and stay alive.

Increasing jobseeker businesses, my guy. All the cool kids say so.

2/ Unfortunately, it does seem true. We saw it during #Covid and now through this #war - the lives of the #poor in faraway places simply don't matter for many in the #US #Europe. #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis #extinction #survival #justice #adaptation #migration #immigration

I really don't wanna accept this notion - but I also remember Daniel Kahneman once being asked about #climatechange. He said that we are not gonna do anything about it - because - human nature. The interviewer was shocked. It does seem true. We saw it during #Covid and now through this #war - the lives of the #poor in faraway places simply don't matter for many in the #US #Europe.

Will People Ever Stop Eating Animals?

Bruce Friedrich has devoted his life to reducing American meat consumption—and he isn’t giving up just yet.

A quotation from Melville

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) American writer
Story (1854-06), “Poor Man’s Pudding and Rich Man’s Crumbs,” “Picture First,” Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 9
