A Texas school district bans boys from wearing long hair. Now, some students are suing. https://t.co/KxKRjTZ2Ik

@RT_com 🤐🤫🤫🤫someone is listening...

@jpegonomist @BenDChambers @paulkrugman Thank you. Most of the comments are coming from peeps who have obviously not read much about Bitcoin, and have little or no understanding of blockchain. This simplified image may help ;)

@WilliamFergie @paulkrugman Try reading just the Bitcoin white paper and I guarantee you will delete the majority of this comment. Bitcoin has nothing to do with anti-government sentiments. The intention is to allow everyone an opportunity regardless of societal status. In the hands of many vs the few.

Leaving aside the rest of the craziness, the bitcoin thing gets me. So we're going to descend into Mad Maxish chaos, living off stored food and defending ourselves with personal guns — and also have ready access to the internet?

@RT_com Nice play on words :)

@lanikaps Not sold on her ideals, but that dress — clever. 👏🏼 Beyond #taxtherich let’s get our #fortune500 + to pay taxes properly in each state they function. No more offshore stock piling of cash #realcostofdoingbusiness

@CM747_ Interesting. Educate a curious novice on shorting crypto?

@SJulmiste @malcolmkenyatta @CBryant34 We vote with our dollars. If one stops giving money to an organization they cease to exist. This is democracy. It’s up to us.

A happy December Solstice to all residents of Planet Earth.

Henceforth, day by day, the Northern Hemisphere gains daylight. The Southern Hemisphere loses daylight. And equatorial residents, as always, sit through 12hrs of day and 12hrs of night — all year round

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Awesome that financial reporters still can't get this right. CBO projects an 11% decline in GDP, which is 38% *at an annual rate*. How hard is it to stop misleading readers?

[Mellissa Riddle @MellissaRiddle]

@MSpaunhorst @JohnFugelsang True. Lack of accountability is the direct result of ‘less government is better’ propaganda. Humans are innately opportunists; if our businesses go unchecked, most will inevitably take advantage.

[Mellissa Riddle @MellissaRiddle]

@neiltyson Great idea. What’s your proposal? #edx

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

I know there's a lot of other stuff going on, but surprised not to see more commentary about how weird it is for the U.S. president to be trying to organize an oil cartel 1/ https://t.co/KkUvxvcJz2

🚨I wrote a big piece about the future of the COVID-19 pandemic: how the US got to this point; what needs to happen in the coming weeks and months; what the endgame looks like; and what the world might be like in the aftermath.
