Beagles are in the news after decades as key players in medical research
Many I spoke with during the course of my research for a book on the history of the use of beagles in scientific research, especially within activist communities, predict an end to their use within one or two decades.

Biden’s debt relief plan will make American politics worse
It fails the test of horizontal equity, which requires that people whose circumstances are alike in relevant respects are treated the same.

This economy is proving too hard for economists
The broad economic slowdown we are experiencing is likely nothing more than a pullback from the artificially induced sharp recovery from the lockdowns. It may not fit the model of a conventional business cycle, but once you accept that this is not a normal business cycle and view the data through a different lens, then the unexpected begins to make sense and not something to be dismissed as “noise.”
