Crypto leaders press Trump to create federal bitcoin reserve President-elect Donald Trump has expressed support for the bitcoin idea, which some economists see as inflationary and costly, depending on its implementation.

Let’s be real: This is a subsidy. The people who hate public spending have invented a massive government subsidy for a technology that has still yet to find a broad-based practical application 15 years after its debut

Join us @tcdeconomics.bsky.social: we're seeking to appoint three (x3!) TT Assistant Prof. in Economics in the (varied) fields of Development, Labor (applied), Environmental, International/Trade, Computational Economics, Finance, Urban & the Irish economy.

SBF Considered ‘Coming Out as a Republican’ Amid FTX Collapse Sam Bankman-Fried came up with a lot of ideas to rehabilitate his image and launch a new crypto exchange after FTX went into bankruptcy.

In a document labeled “these are all random probably bad ideas that aren’t vetted,” convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried considered going on Tucker Carlson’s show to “come out as a republican” and “come out against the woke agenda.”

Putting both alts in each image to have the comparison: For this image: A map highlighting multiple Whole Foods Market locations with red location markers in the Los Angeles area, showing clusters particularly around downtown and Pasadena. For the second image: A map displaying numerous Dollar Tree store locations with red location markers across the Los Angeles area, with a notable concentration along the 101 freeway and in the Pasadena region. These descriptions provide a visual understanding of the distribution of these stores across the cityscape.

For an easy experiment that frames socioeconomic status within cities: Search for Whole Foods vs Dollar Tree. It’s often a near mirror image.

I just made these of LA. I’m sure the equivalent is true outside the US.

10y from the first encounters with the data to the publication... Not surprising in EconHist I think but still, a nice example of patience and persistence... which pays off! Congrats again👏👏

Les temps sont durs, la santé est impactée et je ressens le besoin de me protéger de l'actu. Mais on va tenter de relancer une ligne Russie plus pertinente sur ce compte. Avec notamment un retour sur le terrain très bientôt! Mais, peut-être la fin de mon visa en Russie fin décembre...
