Democratic institutions remain resilient even when a democratic culture around them is dying. That resilience gives us a 10-20 year window to act, to make the democratic culture less sick, before they snap. But if we don’t or can’t, they will snap.

Stabilizing aggregate demand is one of the key factors in maintaining overall stability, both economic and social

For anyone who truly cares about America, undermining the Fed's independence is one of the worst things you can do to the country

@VladVexler Vlad I love your perspective. Would love to see any kind of detailed dive into the reasons for the trump vote. I get the kind of institutional opacity angle, but not as sure about what attractive forces give Trump power. Hope you feel well!

@WarMonitor3 Glad to not live in the US

[Vlad Vexler @VladVexler]

Look I’m biased. I’ve said in public for years that a Trump victory is the default expectation. But still I dare say: it’s not good enough for people who were certain of a Harris victory to just say ‘I was wrong’. It stems from not understanding how people could vote for Trump.

Enjoy the win GOP. it's likely to be your last.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

[Vlad Vexler @VladVexler]

You have to beat disgraceful post-truth populists. But when you lose to them, repeatedly, you need to reflect. Centrist liberals need to reflect on how far Trump embodies a state of society about which they are in denial and which they helped cause.

@ChrisO_wiki It says 누렁이 개고기, which is indeed dog meat.

[ChosunOne @one_chosun]

Calling something "unprecedented" is far more likely to display your ignorance of history than to be true.

[ChosunOne @one_chosun]

@ChrisO_wiki There was a decade of work though prior to taking power and the cultural shock of losing the great war. Downplaying that feels important.

The West has serious problems - the worst is Germany, the next is the US, the third is France. The economically and militarily strong countries fail to support Ukraine in % of GDP because they are ruled by people failing to understand elementary security issues.
Sad.

@sama Speed is a relative thing. Fast is as equally valid to say about the future as slow is about the past.

@IvanUlisesKK @geogvma I remember discussing this as the only realistic option if Nato is denied to Ukraine back in 2022

[Vlad Vexler @VladVexler]

Throughout history, people have faced uncertain futures. Thinking about how resilient they were can ground us and help us navigate the storms ahead.

It's surprisingly easy to do "hard" things -- for the most part, you need to get started and keep at it

[ChosunOne @one_chosun]

@peter_szilagyi @travisci Probably best to set up your own runners for Github actions tbh

[ChosunOne @one_chosun]

@fchollet The sheer stupidity of Germany is truly astounding.

If you want more expensive energy and slower growth, the most effective thing you can do is decommissioning your nuclear power plants
