“The Last Republican” — now free to watch on YouTube.
“A compelling portrait of political courage in an era when courage is in short supply.”
“It’s less a political documentary than a study of the personal cost of telling the truth in modern politics.”

“Look, I know it’s your guys’ job to ask, but my answer is the same as always: Jayson won’t be back on the floor until he scores at least an eight on the Mazzulla Logic Meridian, and he’s just not there yet,” a visibly annoyed Mazzulla told reporters
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
This is bigotry, pure and simple.

Obviously.
The 1981 paper is Roger Myerson's famous paper on auctions.
My 1982 paper had earlier been rejected by the JPE,with a letter from the editor, George Stigler, saying that the only economics in the paper was in the title.

If we keep electing men like Trump, they will keep undermining that foundation, until it finally collapses.
One day that may well happen. But on Friday, the Supreme Court said not this day. On this day the presidency is stuffed back into its box. On this day the Constitution holds.
Mayonnaise can neither be created nor destroyed.
That blows my mind.
This is soviet union shit.

Gail Slater - one of our top antitrust enforcers- was pushed out of the Justice Department just weeks prior to the Live Nation-Ticketmaster trial. This raises serious questions about the DOJ's commitment to protecting consumers and small businesses and we are demanding answers:

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
Turns out firing career diplomats and replacing them with Trump loyalists who learned international relations from Truth Social has consequences. Who knew. #holdfast
Mic drop. I don't know who first said this, but we're all thinking it.

I'm still processing the recent loss of my thesis advisor, colleague, and friend, John Roberts. We put together an In Memoriam to honor his life and career. saet.uiowa.edu/wp-content/u...

Your regular reminder that Lemma 1 in Fudenberg and Levine just says that there is a finite number of times you can be surprised, not that that number need be anything close to “small.”
#EconSky: Tymofiy Mylovanov from the Kyiv School of Economics is a simply a hero.
While Trump is busy allying with Putin, Tymofiy is out in the cold working for his students and his country.

Disturbing chart. More than forty years ago, I completed an undergrad degree in modern history and economics. Still think that combination was the greatest education/preparation to understand (and in my case write about) the world.
I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.
