1/4 This was a lot of fun to write and now to see published! We digitised information on German collective bargaining negotiations (CBNs) - both initial trade union demands and final outcomes - going back to the early 1990s. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

You Can't Always Get What You Want? Collective Bargaining Demands and Outcomes

Yes, the FBI would only need ppl in the Dem parts of the 17th, but it split in 2024 (GOP for Congress, but Harris for POTUS), and as the maps here show (you have to eye-ball the 17th borders onto the voting map), a lot of the polling places will be in blue areas. That's one race. Just one.

Anybody with informed opinions on this piece by Miran in the FT? Particularly, about whether the conclusions drawn from the inflation swaps market and the term premium hold up to scrutiny? Would love to hear from those with some real expertise. #econ #finance giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

It was more than bad enough how many institutions caved to the stupid "Gulf of America" stuff, in the early weeks when Trump somehow had an image of being all-powerful. Any institution that *now* adopts "Lake of America" is being Trumpist on purpose, with all that implies.

We are nowhere near hyperinflation. So, yes I think reading too mich into Weimar is a mistake. I think the op would agree with that.

Modern governments and central banks also have far more tools and sophistication to battle inflation. I think reading too much into Weimar can obscure that we just have more choice in these matters now

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

In the US, social-democratic policies have routinely been decried as "socialist." So, when Americans say that they rate socialism highly, maybe many of them actually refer to Social Democracy?

To the extent "Gen Z" thinks this — and such broad generalizations are often dubious — it partially reflects a relentless and misleading media narrative that in recent years has ignored the actual data here.

More evidence of wage growth decelerating emerging today, from @atlantafed.org. Within-worker, over-the-year median wage growth rate decelerated to 3.6% in April from 3.9% in March. Consistent with evidence from aggregate average hourly wage change from employer survey in #JobsReport.

It’s very rare to have anticorruption institutions strong enough to hit so close to political power so decisively. In Mani Pulite, Italy’s legendary anticorruption campaign, the biggest fish—Giulio Andreotti and Bettino Craxi— never saw the inside of a jail cell!
