Just stunning how fast electric vehicles are growing. 25% of new car sales in China and Europe.
57% average annual growth over the last 4 years, through covid and recession.

Picture of the Week: Exponential growth in #EV sales continues. Over 25% of new #cars sold this year in both #China and #Europe are electric. 4 Years ago, #EV purchase rates were 2%. In 2018 there were 1.8m EV sold. This year it is likely to be over 11m up 70% on last year!! https://t.co/iQHDf9zDVi

The needle we need to thread is acknowledging that Trump is unusually destructive to the rule of law while also insisting that Ryan’s likely correct assessment that some other guy would be even better at cutting Medicaid and Medicare is also very bad.

Not to spell it out but yeah, most gentrification looks like multifamily homes being bought up and converted into single-family homes.

Meanwhile in Russia: accused war criminal Zakhar Prilepin—who spends a lot of time on the frontlines and previously boasted of "killing many" in Ukraine—admits that Russia wants to negotiate merely to regroup and finish fighting later, any potential peace accords notwithstanding.

Interesting idea about bubbles! Lots of strange and interesting implications. Also, would love to see some international data.
Econ Job Market Helper @econ_jmp
Why have asset price bubbles increased since the 1980s in the US? In his JMP, @pauism shows that the decline in the Capital Gains Tax CGT is behind 60% of it.
Policy lesson? A CGT = 100% 💥 + a subsidy to rents prevent beliefs-driven cycles, delivering efficient markets 🎓 https://t.co/CFQkOfu80r

Azerbaijani and Kurdish protesters have armed themselves with firearms and are fighting back against the Iranian army in Mahabad city, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran.
The beginning of a revolution that could change Iran if Western and neighbouring countries send aid. https://t.co/pXwWiaT3ys
