Who knew? @FT “Barely any summit can go by without warnings about the dangers of protectionism & the globalisation era coming to an end. Some of the alarm is overdone. For one thing, industrial policy is not necessarily inefficient or distortive” ft.com/content/c8d841…

"We are witnessing a historic rebirth of the labor union movement in America. Labor unions are not just an interest group. They are gaining the heft, solidarity, and passion to become what they once were — a movement. And it’s about time." — @RBReichalternet.org/labor-movement…
Only getting to exempt 1/3 of your capital gains *above* $250,000 in a single year from taxation, instead of exempting 1/2, is not the same as being "fucked". And you may not be a millionaire, but if you earned over $250,000 capital gains in a single year, you are very well off.
