It's Clayaiken Time of Year in our household. But my preferred Xmas movie indulgence is gonna be Once Upon a Time in the West. ... yeah, makes John Wick look like a puerile comedy. (Indeed I did laugh through the whole Wick series.)

From the, "Reversion to the disgusting Mean," department. 2001 was when Argentina ran a Job Guarantee Lite (Jefes y Jefas). The rest of the story is reversion to the disgusting mean of neoliberalism. post.news/@/MathWillSuff…

From the, "It's not about "financing"," nested quotes department. I like MMT friendlies like Prof Kaboub, but the harsh reality is climate mitigation efforts for the poorer nations have little to do with "financing." post.news/@/MathWillSuff…

The Murph with some turf throwing. However... Phys teaches Newton CM because it works to high approximation. Economics should not teach Neoclassical or Austrian because they have no such good approximation. It's not about simplicity, it's about accuracy and fitness for purpose.

From the, "Foxes still running the hen house," department: NZ just got a right-wing monetarist libertarian as Minister for Regulation, David Seymour (sees less). No surprise of course. Stuck it in the model already.

Gotta pity the Argentinians. First not knowing interest rate hikes produce the inflation, and as blowback (I'd say) they get Milei. No country so good at rugby & football deserves to be this gigantic natural experiment in extreme government downsizing monetarist lunacy.

Little tip getting started on /post.news/ for those looking for X migrations: took me a helluva long no. of seconds to figure out to post a tweet on /post.news the "edit" button is way down the bottom left of the screen. Hazards of being permanently on bigscreen desktop?
