Het is duidelijk dat de prijsstijging op de huurmarkt veroorzaakt wordt door een heel hoge vraag. Als er "meer dan 100 kandidaten zijn voor één pand", is de enige oplossing om de huurprijzen omlaag te krijgen toch om meer panden aan te bieden? Een rent cap lost de achtreliggende oorzaak dan niet op.

First generation immigrants (parents) earn less than the local born. But the next generation (children of immigrants) close most of these income gaps. Fascinating study on intergenerational mobility of immigrants in 15 destination countries: docs.iza.org/dp17711.pdf (Via @robertdur.bsky.social)

More land animals than ever before are slaughtered for meat. Recent estimates indicate that globally, most animals are raised on factory farms. In the US, where better data and research are available, 99% of livestock is factory-farmed.

One thing I admired Americans for was they provided efficient and effective aid for people around the world. I thought this made America great. The PEPFAR program saved plausibly about 25 million lives and prevented at least 5.5 million babies from being born with HIV. See: pepfarreport.org

Earlier this week I did a long interview with the Belgian newspaper DeMorgen. It’s out today. I just arrived in Belgium and found it at the newsstand. They illustrated it really nicely with some Our World in Data charts.

Just imagine how much progress we could make on climate change just by stopping these subsidies. Let alone if we subsidised clean alternatives by this much.

Laat ons glashelder zijn: Deze besparingen zijn kortzichtig en gevaarlijk. Besparen op ontwikkelingssamenwerking is een keuze voor een wereld met nog meer instabiliteit, chaos en onveiligheid. Dat kan niemand zich veroorloven. Wanneer de wereld brandt, is solidariteit geen luxe of voetnoot. 🧵

People often claim low-carbon energy is a *bigger* risk to energy security than fossil fuels because of the need for minerals. I don't think so. I explained why in an old Substack: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/energy-sec...

Sinds de verkiezingen voelt het alsof klimaatinspanningen zinloos waren, maar er is hoop! Zelfs onder Trump I gingen duurzame oplossingen door. Wind- en zonne-energie zijn goedkoper, landen wereldwijd handelen, en lokale leiders nemen actie. Trump II is slecht nieuws, maar opgeven is geen optie.

If we let these people become this rich and tax them only within a decade, we'd have so much more money to build housing, redistribute among the poor and make the world more just

Ben je boos over je nationale politici over iets? Kijk dan eerst verder dan je neus lang is naar hoe het internationaal gaat. Vaak zijn de trends in gelijkaardige landen niet anders...

Inflation: Democrats say Biden was the victim of a global post-pandemic trend Republicans pointed to the $1.9T American Rescue Plan Inflation has been pretty much the same in all advanced countries, which sure seems to support the Democratic narrative that Biden’s policies weren’t responsible
graph showing post pandemic inflation in advanced countries is similar

90% of the reason Trump wants Greenland and Canada so badly is because they look big on a map

Here's a shocking statistic: Supplying children in sub-sahara Africa with Vitamin A deficiency reduced all-cause child mortality with 14-24%! And supplying Vit A supplements is like super duper cheap! Who said saving lives and helping children was expensive?

Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable childhood blindness and increases the risk of death from common childhood illnesses such as diarrhoea. Periodic, high-dose vitamin A supplement...

Activists have been saying for years that there are no such things as "rich countries" and "poor countries." Many countries are no longer poor but aren't quite rich either. So why is this #cop29 so focused on sending money from "rich" to "poor" countries? So which countries are we talking about?

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years. What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social
