This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face. By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.

When a stock's prices moves a lot, the NYSE halts trading in that stock for 30 minutes. On Monday March 17 (just tried an arbitrary Monday), there were 30 such circuit breakers triggered. Today, so far, 229! Feel liberated!

Acho que ainda vou a tempo de me retratar de muito do que disse aqui ha quase exactamente 2 meses. Na altura supus que a aplicacao das tarifas seria muito mais "cirurgica": contida e racional. Penso que muitos outros supuseram o mesmo, a julgar pelas reaccao dos mercados.

What is the best outlet for a short paper that used to be a section of a longer paper (=same model and data), that makes a very clear point, but that got removed because it was not central to the original paper? Economics Letters?

JFK conspiracy theorist dies, goes to heaven. God receives him: "You may ask me one question." -"Who shot Kennedy?" God replies, "Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. He acted alone". Theorist thinks: "This goes higher up than I thought!"

There are absolutely basic things that the EU could do to support Ukraine (since 2022!) without investing a single cent in the military or sending a single soldier to the frontlines. Lots of "we stand with you" tweets, lots of summits, but not a lot of willingness to actually do anything.

Performance das economias espanhola e portuguesa face a Alemanha. Penso que isto tem pouco a ver com politicas especificas e tem principalmente a ver com factores estruturais de longo prazo: declinio da manufactura, adiado desde fim do sec XX, e supremacia do turismo como base da economia europeia
