The Optimal Trade Policy for the United States An Empirical Case for Smart Globalism

We know how trade works. But enacting the obvious requires political will, not economic insight. Instead, we get tariffs. MAGA marinates in cognitive dissonance.

The Next Catastrophe: India, Pakistan, and the Death of Moral Clarity The India-Pakistan conflict is one of the longest-running and most dangerous flashpoints in modern history.

Watch for it.

They will largely ignore the conflict, despite its catastrophic potential. They will not apply their usual "solidarity with oppressed peoples" rhetoric here. The moral framework is too messy — no clear villain, no clean victim — so they'll stay quiet or issue vague "calls for peace."

As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan, here are my predictions for how the activist left — particularly those who frame the world strictly through an oppressor/oppressed binary — will react:

The Burden of Potential Part II The Machiavellian Response

Wokeism is as deranged an ideology as trumpism. The right is just better at memes. Take the L and learn from failure. The left is a disaster right now. We need to be better.

can’t believe i just retweeted Joe Walsh lmao

My hope is that as a country we collectively learn from this experience and it never happens again. If this isn't a learning experience for Trump voters idk what would be.

If there’s a silver lining to the Trump-era economic turbulence, it’s this: the sheer volume of policy shocks—tariffs, tax cuts, deregulation, deficits—will keep economists busy for decades. A natural experiment in populist disruption.

But they don’t prevent recessions outright e.g., 2008, or Japan’s decades of high deficits + slow growth. Context matters: what the deficit funds, rates, private sector behavior, etc.

Interesting point, but the claim oversimplifies it.

Yes, big deficits can delay or soften a recession by propping up demand (classic Keynes).
