#Biden proposes a gradual doubling of #Pell grants between now and 2029. Pell is the largest US scholarship program (30 billion) per year. In this column we show that -even ignoring LT benefits of college- Pell rants have large short-run efects on GDP https://t.co/r16J1RTQl7

It’s interesting that Huawei 🇨🇳 is suspending its operations in 🇷🇺. With Ericsson and Nokia leaving that will be a major problem after a while. https://t.co/uTkzR44kyh

This is also why a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a different story. China doesn't care about the people of Taiwan; it just wants the dirt under their feet. China's leaders would be perfectly happy deporting all of Taiwan's population and replacing them with mainlanders.

Half a million Ukrainians deported to Russia as slave labor - it seems this really should be attracting far more international attention. https://t.co/CKrxJzgNG1

Shouldn’t one of the people who reported on Putin’s secret energy weapons try to revisit their apparent non-use during the war in Ukraine?
Are we now all ready to concede that this was fake?
