What do tax cuts for the rich do? They increase inequality. They have no effect on economic growth or unemployment. "Our results provide strong evidence against the influential political–economic idea that tax cuts for the rich ‘trickle down’ to boost the wider economy."

I compared 22 identical climate-related posts on Threads vs Bluesky over the last 3 months, and the difference is shocking. Normalized engagement on Threads dropped nearly 2/3 + my following dropped, while Bluesky engagement held steady + following quadrupled. What’s driving this? Read on! 🧵
