Yesterday saw a sweeping new set of #tariffs from the Trump administration. But Liliana Rojas-Suarez and Ignacio Albe warn that tariffs won't fix the US trade deficit. Int'l capital markets play a decisive role: bit.ly/4krdulU

Yet one more sign of the collapse of civilization?

We’ve reached the stage where the @nytimes.com does this with a straight face? Stop the bus.

Tough not to be an alarmist when the evidence lines up.

One of the main newspapers in my home state of Bahia now casually has news stories advising tourists to avoid common hand gestures because of their association to org crime.

People often overstate the Executive's power to determine fiscal policy in Brazil. Legislators earmark/direct a large share of federal expenditures.

One can always nitpick at the specifics and the compromises, but this is the important work of governing. Simplifying and trimming the re-incidence of taxation are huge wins both for BR businesses and consumers.

“A travel ban is likely to go into effect soon after inauguration....Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Myanmar, Sudan, Tanzania, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Somalia. New countries could be added to this list, particularly China and India.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/u...

Standardization is an unfortunate byproduct of institutionalization. But as mentioned in the article, things are also cyclical. Maybe we see a backlash in the next generation? (Beautiful article w great use of data by @jnorthcroft.bsky.social).

People often focus on the Global North, but most migrants stay in region. Latin American countries have typically been welcoming of each other's refugees, but this this stuff is heartbreaking. [Forgive the sensationalist picture on the link].

Libertadores! Com atuação segura do nosso goleirão elder statesman! Tomara que renovem pro ano que vem. Bora sofrer mais ano que vem! #BBMP

A little free trade during protectionist times? 25 years of chugging along and we might eventually get somewhere? www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Until 2017, the age group with the greatest number of deaths globally was those aged under five years. An interactive version of the chart can be found here: ourworldindata.org/grapher/annu...

[Pausa pro futebol] Parece que o Bahia tá jogando pra escapar do rebaixamento. Pelo amor dos meus filhinhos…

The international community directly contributed to state failure in Haiti and now abandons it. Notice how the coverage is part of the problem: local population is an afterthought in this article.

I feel like I should have something to say about the Brazilian Fed Police's findings re: (would-be?) (botched?) coup attempt by outgoing Bolsonaro adm in 22. But a) I'm not really that surprised, b) don't you get tarred and feathered if you imply Brazilian institutions are somewhat resilient? (1/2)

(2/3) geográficas e socioeconômicas. Os dados são fundamentais para o conhecimento do país e para orientar políticas públicas de maneira mais precisa e eficaz. Agora sabemos, por exemplo, que o Brasil conta com 1,3 milhão de quilombolas em 1.700 municípios! ++

(1/3) ✨ Amanhã é o #DiaDaConsciênciaNegra! ✨ Nesta data, celebramos a memória de Zumbi dos Palmares e de todos os que lutaram e continuam lutando por liberdade e igualdade. 📊 Pela 1ª vez na história, o #Censo2022 investigou a população quilombola e suas características demográficas, ++

Ready for career day. 😄

Quando comecei pesquisa em saúde (2007), já era grande o n de consultores no MS. Na prática: necessidade de adequar os recursos humanos às novas demandas sob as amarras do legado de funcionários antigos do INAMPS e as restrições p novas contratações.

I’ll defer to our colleagues who are Argentina specialists, but I wonder whether to read this as moderate voters dampening the far right or as resilience of the Peronist machine (could be both, obv). Also think NYT missed on headline. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/w...

So I was telling my kids that one of the players for Al Nassr (Talisca) used to play for the great EC Bahia (my home team) and, right on cue, he scores on a free kick, w Cristiano Ronaldo serving as decoy no less. BBMP
