Opportunity cost is Econ 101 with real stakes: the cost of a choice is not just dollars spent, but what you gave up. For war, that means not only destruction, but all the prosperity that never gets a chance to exist.

Short-run discomfort ≠ long-run harm.⁣ ⁣ Phone bans make students feel worse at first — then better. By year two, well-being rebounds above baseline. Turns out kids (like all of us) just needed time to adapt.

Optimism is not a policy tool. If there’s no clear timeline for resolution, energy markets will price in uncertainty. And uncertainty is costly because firms can’t plan and households can’t budget.

Courts saying “go to Congress” is not courts banning tariffs. It’s courts saying the Constitution still exists. That matters for markets too: the rule of law lowers uncertainty; arbitrary power raises it.

AI is booming. The broader economy, not so much. That matters because workers and small businesses don’t all live inside one tech boom.

Two things can be true at once: private credit isn't identical to 2008-era shadow banking, and some of the same vulnerabilities may be creeping back. Similar enough to inspect closely.

A windfall profits tax sounds great as a one-off.⁣ ⁣ But once investors expect it to happen again, it's no longer a windfall tax—it's just a profits tax. And that can discourage the investment you actually want.

Optimism is not a policy tool. If there’s no clear timeline for resolution, energy markets will price in uncertainty. And uncertainty is costly because firms can’t plan and households can’t budget.

If you remove phones, you haven’t removed boredom, status competition, or conflict. You’ve just changed the setting. That’s why the first-year effects can look messy.

For families and firms, this isn’t academic. If the people steering monetary policy are chosen for cable-news combat rather than analytic clarity, the cost shows up in jobs, prices, and uncertainty.

Lisa Nandy thinks you're stupid, suggesting that an 8% bump in GDP by rejoining the EU won't help address inequality across the country Labour literally doing everything they can to get economic growth, to improve the country, but repeatedly rejecting the one thing that will drive economic growth

Im Fellner-TV sind mittlerweile auch die letzten Tabus gebrochen und jede Grenze des guten Geschmacks meilenweit überschritten. Gerald Grosz darf live auf Sendung queere Menschen verhöhnen – und seine menschenverachtenden Parolen anschließend auf seinen Social-Media-Kanälen weiterverbreiten.

🗣️ @marenmorris.bsky.social : “All these college commencement speakers reveling in the future of A.I., and the students rightfully booing them — how disrespectful to these students that have worked so hard… stop trying to make ‘A.I. is cool’ happen.”

Human caused climate change is almost assuredly involved in this off-charts heat and, at the same time, I’m happy we settled in Downeast Maine four years ago. Today’s spring snow (although deer ticks were on the move a couple days ago as well)

My bill, the Free Credit Scores for Consumers Act, ensures access to free credit scores and credit reports and disclosure of how scores are calculated. A more accessible and transparent credit reporting system is essential to put Americans on the path to financial success.

"Do you realise you guys have just jaywalked?" The Crisafulli government has installed traffic lights & a pedestrian crossing for one residential driveway at Mermaid Beach. LNP MP Ray Stevens says it's for safety but pedestrians think the button is for the main road. #qldpol

No more “wait and see.” No more “let’s be polite.” ICE is escalating. Trump is enabling. We are not waiting for permission to fight back. This weekend — we show up. We stand up. We shut it down. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/gEzZJde6

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas

I highlighted the need for access to banking services in areas like Caversham and Emmer Green that have seen all the local branches close in recent years, and how this particularly affects older and vulnerable residents. I am calling for a Banking Hub in our community.

Nasty bitches! (These bosses kinda got hands though…)

I got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of this one.

In Cuba, OCHA's Crisis Response Division Director, Edem Wosornu, visited a community project in Havana where community kitchens are a lifeline for many elderly facing rising prices, limited pensions and economic hardship. Continued support is essential to help the most vulnerable.

QUINTESSENTIAL TRUMP GRIFT—just like the wall Mexico never paid for, he’s sticking taxpayers with the ballroom bill. He shook down Fortune 500s for hundreds of millions; now, like his library fund, that money will vanish into his pockets. It’s public theft in plain sight—with Graham as the bag man!🤦🏿‍♂️

There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely. I’m running for City Council because we need legislators who are prioritizing emergency preparedness and public safety over fossil fuel corporations.

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.
