What a glorious life I lead as the boon companion to a great hero! I am a noble steed, ready to leap into action at any moment should my hero call me. Tally-ho!

Unsure why he needed me to gallop at full speed for no more than thirty feet, but he always knows what’s right and good. I’m sure my contribution was necessary and strategic, not just something he tried because it’s cool.

I den grundläggande DSGE-modell som används av både nyklassiska och ‘nykeynesianska’ makroekonomer är arbetsmarknaden alltid i jämvikt — den representativa agenten maximerar sin nyttofunktion genom att anpassa sitt arbetsutbud, penninghållning och konsumtion över tid som svar på förändringar i räntan, förväntad livstidsinkomst eller reallön. Viktigast av allt — om reallönen av någon anledning avviker från […]

Earlier this week, the Labour government released a white paper called Restoring Control over the Immigration System. On its own, this document should have been concerning to many people, since it signalled a major rightward shift in immigration policy by a putatively centre-left government.  But what really made the headlines were Starmer’s remarks in the […]

“Republicans advance bill with steep cuts to Medicaid as part of Trump agenda.” —The Hill

Quit complaining about Republicans’ proposed cuts to Medicaid. If you all stopped whining that low- and middle-income people deserve quality health care, you’d notice there are plenty of ways to accumulate enough money to afford health insurance yourself. Have you welfare queens even considered becoming actual queens? Once you’re in charge, you can leverage your position to make loads of money. Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps you acquired by abusing your power.

People these days don’t have enough get-up-and-go. One little setback and they’re dependent on Medicaid forever. Instead, when life hands you lemons, demand that it also hand you a $400 million jet in exchange for unnamed future political favors.
