Two of the former Treasury Secretaries writing the NYT op-ed today were part of "The Committee to Save the World" in 1998.
Before considering their advice, ask yourself: How has the US' relative global position done since 1998, & how has Summers' & Rubin's relative wealth done?

Word is that NBC has managed to finally secure the music rights necessary to sell Homicide: Life On The Streets" to a streaming platform. Andre, Richard, Yaphet, Ned, and so many others who labored on that wonderful show on both sides of the camera will soon regain a full share of their legacy. Stay tuned for more details. #HLOTS #FontanaLevinson

US state and local governments just experienced the worst decline in income tax revenues ever recorded.
This was the second steepest year-over-year percentage decline in history, with only the GFC having a worse outcome.
Note that Federal tax receipts are also dropped again, now at recessionary levels and approaching -10% on a YoY basis.
This is a clear indication of the continued fundamental deterioration of the economy, which sharply contrasts with overall financial assets that remain at excessively inflated valuations.

By marketing Twitter as the free speech platform, Musk has made censoring it more valuable to governments. All of Musk's companies live off government contracts, grants or subsidies, so it's not a stretch to imagine he'll monetize Twitter by selling censorship to governments.

Think of how many scenes in contemporary America look and feel just like this picture of Mao's Red Guard. What does that tell you about what's happening in America today?

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. Happy #WorldBookDay
