@pkrugman.bsky.social Can you write about this? Econ impact of food-borne illness problems : “…result: a category-wide demand shock.The damage then moves outward. Are reductions in FDA/CDC staffing and food-safety programs beginning to impose economic costs on American farmers and food businesses?”

New in PN: "Suckers & losers" as policy "Trump doesn’t see himself as a public servant. Rather, he sees himself as a king, entitled to the reverence, awe, & lives of everyone he surveys. Servicemembers aboard the USS Lincoln should spend even longer at sea just to prove what a great job he's doing"

"Suckers and losers" as policy
The plight of the USS Lincoln lays bare Trump's disdain for the troops.
