The thing is, this is actually true
The Guardian treats us to a jeremiad about how political appointees in the Trump Administration are damaging the environment by being political:“There’s too much dead and dying timber in the forest, which fuels these catastrophic fires,” Zinke said. “Proper management of our forests, to include small prescribed burns, mechanical thinning, and other techniques, will improve forest health and reduce the risk of wildfires, while also helping curb...

Necessity is the Mother of Invention – Retirees Desperate Reach for Yield
Ben Bernanke’s creativity inspired a generation of economists and central bankers. QE, ZIRP and NIRP established a new class of economics that is mathematically sound but practically disastrous. Billions of dollars were transferred from savers to investors to boost the economy, but the wizards of quant forgot that something has to give. In this case, it was the formation of a pension crisis that threatens the golden years of millions of...

It’s EA to Say Voting Is EA Even Though It Isn’t EA
“Voting is effective altruism,” many EAs say.Is it, though? It’s weird that so many effective altruists celebrate voting. Here’s why:1. The question of the best way to calculate the probability of a vote being decisive is still open. Most models say it’s very low. EAs love to latch on the Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan view, which says it can be pretty high if you live a swing state.2. They often just assign subjective values to the differences...

Quotation of the Day…
… is from page 172 of my late Nobel-laureate colleague Jim Buchanan’s 1987 paper “Man and the State,” as this paper is reprinted in James M. Buchanan, Federalism, Liberty, and Law (2001), which is volume 18 of the Collected Works of James M. Buchanan: Failure or success has too often been measured in terms of the standard economists’ criterion of efficiency, the ability to get goods and services produced and distributed, to add to the wealth...

AEI 50 years of failed doomsday, eco-pocalyptic predictions; the so-called ‘experts’ are 0-41 This week Myron Ebell (director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute) and Steven J. Milloy published a post on the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) blog titled “Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions:” Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since...

Agriculture Purchase Commitments Under the U.S.-China Trade Deal: The Case of Beef
Yesterday, President Trump and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He signed a "phase one" U.S.-China trade deal. A "phase two" deal may be coming, although the timing is unclear, and many people (including us) are skeptical that it will happen any time soon. There are some technical and complicated parts of the phase one deal, and it will take some time to digest it all and come up with an overall evaluation. But it's worth exploring...

The Beautiful Patterns of Nature
Watch this video and consider the beautiful patterns that are painted by nature. [embedded content] Now, consider the following passages from Alfred Marshall's Principles of Economics, 8th edition (1920), 287-288. Such an equilibrium is stable; that is, the price, if displaced a little from it, will tend to return, as a pendulum oscillates about its lowest point; and it will be found to be a characteristic of stable equilibria that in...

We Can Rebuild That. We Can Make it Better.
As a knitter, I was fascinated by the discussion of recycled sweaters and recycled yarn in last week’s Econtalk. Russ Roberts and Adam Minter have a brief exchange about how to recycle wool sweaters. Russ posits that, “It’s easy. You just take an end and just start pulling until you get a really long piece of yarn, and you’re done. You get a new piece of yarn. Adam explains that in industrial recycling “What they do is, they take these...

Neil McCaffrey and the Conservative Book Club
For those of us who remember the American conservative movement in its earlier manifestation, the recently published articles and correspondence of Neil McCaffrey make for stimulating reading. For those who don’t recall McCaffrey (1925-1994), it might be mentioned that he was the founder of the Conservative Book Club, the owner of the conservative press Arlington House between 1964 and 1988, and a longtime friend and correspondent of Bill...

Nose Blind to Inflation
The human brain excels at taking shortcuts. Processing all the information our senses collect takes a lot of energy, so repetitive data gets lower priority. Things we see often fade into the background so we can notice new stuff. This is where we get phenomena like “nose blindness.” We stop perceiving familiar smells like our pets, perfume, cigarettes, and even our own body odors. But others do smell them, which can get awkward. I...

Don’t Be Too Sure
If there is anything that characterizes this moment in history, it’s complacency: everyone’s so sure that current trend lines will continue, onward and upward, and risk has been tamed for the foreseeable future. Don’t be too sure. 1. Don’t be too sure that the coronavirus will blow over and have no effect on global growth. 2. Don’t be too sure that “the Fed has our back” so stocks will always resume their steady climb after every spot of...

Secession in Virginia Would Defuse the State’s Conflict over Guns
Earlier this month, West Virginia state senator Charles Trump introduced a senate resolution requesting that the citizens of Frederick County consider joining West Virginia. That is, the West Virginia Senate invited the county to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia. The Senate later adopted the resolution. Resolutions like these don't change any laws, but ...

Fun on Friday: Plastic Gold
My stepdad used to grump about everything being made out of plastic. This was a thing with him even way back when I was a little kid. “All these plastic toys… back in my day toys were wood and metal.” It really got under his skin when they started using plastic in tools. He called them “cheap” even when they worked every bit as well as the old, heavy tools of “his day.”Well, he’d really go ballistic if he were alive today because now they’re...

Tesla’s Global Deliveries Compared to the Top 10: Volkswagen, Toyota, GM, Ford, Honda, FCA, Mercedes… Here’s the Chart

They still produce an astounding market capitalization of $102 billion, “astounding” not because the market cap per se is huge – there are now some trillion-dollar companies out there – but because the business Tesla is in: auto manufacturing and solar panels....
