@jeffhauser.bsky.social on how DOGE alumni have "enormous juice" in what they once derided as the "swamp" of Washington politics. Reason: the knowledge (data) they garnered during their brief tenures.

They came to Washington to dismantle government. Now, they’re profiting from it.
DOGE alumni have leveraged their government experience, raising at least half a billion dollars for firms spanning cyberwarfare, AI and data centers, a Post analysis found.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

Chapter 1 in my PhD (also my first published paper) was about how policymakers and economists construct macroeconomic governability. Michael Woodford was the key figure in the construction of the new-neoclassical-synthesis version of governability. Success: Mixed. benjaminbraun.org/assets/pubs/...
"Michael Woodford (2003) provided the canonical formulation of the new neoclassical synthesis model. His central contribution was a formal proof that the trade-off between output stabilisation and inflation control in the reaction function of the central bank could actually be derived as the optimal solution of the representative household’s utility maximisation problem (Woodford, 2003, Ch. 6). In other words, a society maximises its welfare if, and only if, the central bank controls inflation and stabilises output. By showing mathematically that inflation targeting not only worked but in fact was – under certain (heroic) assumptions – the optimal policy, Woodford’s contribution was crucial for the disciplinary legitimacy of the emerging governability paradigm."Screenshot of title page of "Why Models Matter: The Making and
Unmaking of Governability in Macroeconomic Discourse" by Benjamin Braun

And yes, this is not a good way to convince people to give it up, and you shouldn't say it to their faces. But as a general observation about where society is heading, it's terrifying to see the extent to which some people have simply given up on personal dignity and embraced nihilistic hedonism.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…
